    Azahar 2125.0.1 Update Alert! 🕹️

    The next evolution of 3DS emulation is here! Azahar—the powerful open-source successor to Citra and Lime3DS—has just dropped a massive update designed to supercharge your handheld experience across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and even iOS/tvOS.

    What’s New in This Release:

    • 🚀 Insane Loading Speeds (Android Vanilla): If you’re using the non-Google Play version, prepare for magic. By switching to native file I/O, booting the HOME menu has plummeted from ~45 seconds to under 5 seconds!
    • ✨ Smooth Gameplay: A new disk shader cache for the Vulkan renderer saves shaders as `.vkch` files, effectively eliminating that annoying shader stutter during gameplay.
    • 🎮 RetroArch Integration: Azahar is now available as `libretro/RetroArch` cores across all major platforms.
    • 🛠️ Core Emulation Improvements:
    • Added support for `.zcci` and `.txt` ROMs.
    • Implemented NAND RW/RO archives for better app compatibility.
    • Fixed NetPass and Download Play functionality.
    • Improved texture filtering stability on Vulkan.
    • 📱 Android Enhancements: Includes a new “Auto-Map Controller” feature, improved setup screens to prevent crashes, and an easier hotkey bind button.
    • 🖥️ Desktop Innovation: You can now use your controller’s touchpad to interact directly with the emulated 3DS touchscreen!

    ⚠️ Important Compatibility Notes:

    • Android Users (Vanilla Variant): The application ID has changed to `org.azahar_emu.azahar`. You MUST uninstall your current version before installing this update. Your user data will be safe, but you’ll need to re-select your user directory during setup.

    Google Play Version: Please note that the performance boosts from native file I/O do not* apply to the Google Play Store variant due to policy restrictions.

    • iOS/tvOS Performance: Due to App Store JIT compilation restrictions, emulation speed may be below 100% on older hardware.

    Get those ROMs ready and enjoy the boost! 🚀✨
