AzaharPlus
What it is
AzaharPlus is a free, open-source fork of the Azahar 3DS emulator for Android, Linux, and Windows. The project says game files that work with any Citra fork also work with AzaharPlus. It can download system files from official servers without requiring a 3DS, and supports older CPUs that do not require SSE4.2. Built-in features include cheats, Amiibo generation, and improved multiplayer compatibility with other Citra forks. ZipPass imports and exports StreetPass data in zip files to simulate StreetPass tags. On Android, users can choose a Replace flavor that replaces Azahar or a Coexist flavor that runs alongside it. Android minimums include version 9.0 in 64-bit form, a Snapdragon 835 or better, 2 GB of RAM, and OpenGL ES 3.2 or Vulkan 1.1. 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 requires system files, enabled LLE modules, and StreetPass enabled in games; it only works when no game is running. The project calls ZipPass experimental, and imported data beyond a game's queue limit is ignored.
