Azahar 2125.1 has been released. This is a small release with some interesting fixes and new features:

The LED color is exposed by the core for the frontend to pick and do whatever it wants. Maybe someone will look into it at some point.

This was figured out after doing some reversing of the MCU firmware. Thanks a lot to the people in the GodMode9 Discord server for the help! ^^

Also works when getting a StreetPass through NetPass.

More progress towards full 3DS system emulation! :D

The notification LED is now implemented on Azahar (look at the bottom right corner). Desktop only for now, until someone figures how to integrate it in Android.

Proto Challenge presents...

A lot of Nintendo 3DS system software prototypes + a very early prototype of Kid Icarus Uprising!

This release has been a long time coming, and we're happy to finally have it all working on retail hardware for anyone to try.

Understanding Savestates Why They Shouldn’t Replace In-Game Saves

We have noticed a lot of users claiming that Azahar deleted their saves. This is most likely caused by using savestates as long-term saving. We explain why you shouldn't do this (and how to recover saves) in our newest blog post: azahar-emu.org/blog/underst...
