Azahar update adds per-game settings and boosts emulator performance
Azahar has released a major update to its Nintendo 3DS emulator, with pre-release builds of version 2127.0 available on GitHub.
The update covers Android, iOS, tvOS and other supported platforms.
Android users can now set options for each game without changing settings for their other titles.
Android also gains support for custom GPU drivers on non-Snapdragon devices and Android’s Dynamic Performance Framework, which the team says can improve performance by up to 15% on devices with Mali GPUs.
Across platforms, the update improves texture handling and reduces audio, frame and input delays, while adding support for a format that bundles a game ROM with downloadable content and other data.
The iOS version uses a faster interpreter when JIT is unavailable, and the team says this lets the emulator run on an iPhone XS.
The update is currently available as a pre-release, with the team describing it as one of its largest updates yet.
