An open-source 3DS emulator

What is Azahar

Azahar is a free and open-source high level Nintendo 3DS emulator for PC and mobile devices. Our goal is to give 3DS owners a place to enjoy their library of titles with improvements to the original hardware, such as higher resolutions, modern controllers or save states. The emulator also serves as a debugging hub for homebrew developers and as a research and preservation platform for the 3DS ecosystem.

The project continues the legacy of Citra and is actively developed by a community of contributors. Follow along on our blog or our GitHub page.

Azahar is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo.
