Lime 3DS Emulator – Azahar 2125.0.1

🚨 Azahar 2125.0.1 is LIVE — and it’s a massive upgrade for 3DS homebrewers! 🚨

🔥 Why you’ll love this update:

  • 📱 Android Vanilla users: Uninstall old version first — new package ID (`org.azahar_emu.azahar`) means clean slate, but your saves/user data survive!
  • ⚡ Boot times slashed: Native file I/O = HOME menu in under 5 seconds (vs. 30–45s before!).
  • 🎮 LibRetro core is here: Now available for RetroArch on all major platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS Intel/Apple Silicon, Android arm64, iOS, tvOS).
  • ⚠️ iOS/tvOS: JIT disabled (App Store rules), so older devices may lag.

🎨 Renderer & Performance:

  • 📦 Vulkan shader cache (`.vkch`) = instant relaunches & portable cache sharing!
  • 🧠 Parallel shader/pipeline compilation → smoother startup.
  • ✨ Texture filtering fully restored — now works on all surfaces, not just textures.
  • 📉 Lower RAM & CPU usage, especially with Artic Base enabled.

🔧 Emulation & Homebrew Fixes:

  • ✅ `NWM_SOC::GetMACAddress` implemented → NetPass homebrew finally works!
  • 📡 Download Play now runs fully HLE — no LLE modules needed!
  • 🧰 New Integer Scaling option + customizable layout cycling hotkey.
  • 🔀 Debug toggle to switch between Old/New 3DS console types — perfect for testing homebrew quirks.

💻 Platform-Specific Love:

  • 🖱️ Touchpad on desktop = touchscreen emulation (yes, really!).
  • 🪟 Windows: AMD GPU auto-detect, MSYS2 camera fixes, broken shortcuts resolved.
  • 🍏 macOS: UI freeze fixed + proper launch warnings.

🛠️ Dev & Under-the-Hood:

  • 🧹 Cleaned up dead code (SDL2 frontend, legacy CPU detection).
  • 🛠️ ARM64 Linux builds now rock-solid.
  • 🧪 Added Visual Studio debugging helpers (NATVIS for BitField).

🎯 TL;DR: Faster, smoother, more compatible — especially for Android homebrewers. Grab it now and finally run those niche NetPass tools! 🕹️💥
