AzaharPlus vs Manic EMU

AzaharPlus is a free, open-source 3DS emulator fork for Android, Linux, and Windows. Its project says game files that work with any Citra fork also work here, and it can obtain system files from official servers without a physical 3DS. The software supports older CPUs that do not require SSE4.2, and includes cheats, Amiibo generation, and improved multiplayer compatibility with other Citra forks. ZipPass uses zip files to import and export StreetPass data for simulated tags. On Android, users can choose a Replace flavor that takes the place of Azahar or a Coexist flavor that runs alongside it. Android support starts at version 9.0, 64-bit; listed minimums also include a Snapdragon 835 or better and 2 GB of RAM. Desktop minimums include 64-bit Windows 10 or modern 64-bit Linux, 2 GB of RAM, and OpenGL 4.3 or Vulkan 1.1. ZipPass needs system files, enabled LLE modules, and StreetPass enabled in games, and is usable only when a game is not running. The project labels it experimental. Downloads are available through GitHub Releases.

Manic EMU is a free retro game emulator for iPhone and iPad, supporting more than 30 classic platforms across consoles, arcade, DOS, Symbian, and J2ME. It includes save states, auto-saves, fast-forward, cheats, shortcuts, filters, screenshots, and custom skins. Cloud import works with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Baidu, Aliyun, WebDAV, and SMB. The project says iCloud sync keeps games, saves, and settings encrypted in the cloud across devices. Manic EMU integrates RetroAchievements and supports local multiplayer and Netplay on eligible Libretro cores. The free App Store build limits fast-forward to 2×, save states and cheat codes to three each, and controllers to one player. Premium plans cost $0.99 a month, $4.99 a year, or 9.99 USD once for lifetime access, and include higher fast-forward speeds, more save states and cheat slots, and extra controller players. A free sideload build includes premium play features but does not provide iCloud save sync. The app does not include ROMs, BIOS files, or game data.
