Changelog complet

⚠️Important Release Candidate Information⚠️ This is a release candidate. Please expand this drop-down to read more about what this means before installing. As a release candidate, this build is not yet considered a stable release, but is instead a build which could be promoted to a stable release if it is sufficiently tested with no major issues being discovered. Ideally, the release candidate period will last for 7 days, however if major issues are discovered, this will be extended to allow for additional testing with a corrected release candidate. Despite its status as a pre-release build, users are encouraged to test this version to help us catch any newly introduced issues before the build is promoted to a full release. If you do observe such issues, please report them to us on GitHub so we can evaluate them. If you are unwilling to tolerate potential minor issues, you may be better off waiting until a release candidate is promoted to a full release. Users are advised to back up their Azahar user data directory before using a pre-release build. --- This release candidate fixes a single critical regression first seen in the 2126.1-rc3 prerelease. It is otherwise identical to 2126.1-rc4. For a more complete picture of what will be included in the final release, you can see the changelog for Release Candidate 1 here: https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/releases/tag/2126.1-rc1 --- # Azahar 2126.1-rc5 Changelog # All - Fixed a regression which caused consistent memory leakage while running an application with the OpenGL renderer. | @Wunkolo #2517 - This issue affected all platforms which support the OpenGL renderer, but the rate of memory leakage was much more drastic on Windows.

v2126.1-rc4 September 7, 2026

Nouveauté majeure :
- Ajout de vérifications pour empêcher l’activation de couches Vulkan non supportées par le système, évitant ainsi des plantages sur certaines configurations.
Correction importante :
- Désactivation par défaut du gestionnaire d’exceptions de débogage (précédemment activé par défaut), afin de limiter les conflits avec des mods de jeux ciblant spécifiquement les émulateurs.
Amélioration Android :
- Affichage explicite d’une carte "ROM invalide" dans la liste des jeux pour les ROMs non valides (au lieu d’un espace vide), corrigant une erreur de rendu introduite dans la version rc3.

By the nature of this change, that issue has also been fixed.

v2126.1-rc3 September 4, 2026

Correction majeure de stabilité :
- Suppression d’une régression introduite dans la version précédente (2126.1-rc1) qui provoquait des stutters audio majeurs lorsque le audio stretching était activé (réversion de la tentative de réduction de latence, #2439).
Corrections de crashes critiques :
- Résolution d’un crash lié à un changement de résolution interne pendant l’émulation, entraînant des artefacts graphiques et des fuites mémoire (#2489).
- Correction d’un crash potentiel pendant le gameplay sous certaines conditions avec des textures personnalisées (#2481).

The issue will then be fixed. - Fixed a regression where, when the "Expand to Cutout Area" setting was enabled, any touchscreen inputs to the virtual 3DS screen would be either horizontally or vertically offset for devices with a selfie camera. | @OpenSauce04 #2469 - Slightly adjusted the positioning of the face buttons in the default portrait layout for the on-screen controller overlay for better ergonomics. | @OpenSauce04 #2468

v2126.1-rc1 August 26, 2026

Nouveautés majeures :
- Sauvegardes d'état verrouillées sur la version d'Azarah : Les fichiers de sauvegarde sont désormais liés à la version de l'émulateur qui les a créés. Tentative de chargement depuis une autre version → message d'erreur explicite (avec version source) + recommandation de downgrader temporairement pour récupérer le progrès via les sauvegardes in-game (remplace un crash silencieux).
- Augmentation de la résolution interne maximale : Passage de 10x (4000×2400) à 18x (7200×4320) pour une meilleure netteté sur les écrans haute résolution.
- Optimisations GPU : Réduction de 0,5–1 ms par frame via des améliorations du traitement des listes de commandes GPU, et implémentation du geometry shader output register banking (résout des problèmes dans les SEGA 3D Classics sans patches spécifiques).
Corrections critiques :
- Crashs Vulkan : Résolution d'un problème de suppression de textures en cours d'utilisation (notamment en haute résolution), évitant des plantages dans Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate et d'autres jeux.
- Lag systématique : Correction des ralentissements dans Super Smash Bros 4 (écran de sélection) et Mini Mario & Friends: Amiibo Challenge (déplacements diagonaux).
- Audio :
  - Suppression du time stretching systématique (retard inutiles à toutes vitesses d'émulation).
  - Fix du crackling dans Inazuma Eleven 3 (HLE audio) et amélioration des transitions de volume sans artefacts sonores.
- 3DS : Restauration du menu Friends (avant-plantage) et correction du gel du 3DS Internet Browser (problème de rescheduling).

Changelog complet

### Known Issue Notice There is a minor known issue in the new MXE build for Windows where frame pacing may be slightly inconsistent. A potential fix for this issue has already been implemented, but requires additional testing. This fix will be included in the 2126.1 update. **Most users likely won't notice this issue**, so use of the MXE build is still encouraged. The MXE build will replace the MSYS2 build in 2127.0. Thank you for your understanding. --- # Azahar 2126.0 Changelog # All - Improved GPU interrupt queue & GPU timing emulation. This feature is highly experimental and is disabled by default, the toggle for it can be found in the graphics settings: "Simulate 3DS GPU timings". | @PabloMK7 #2095, #2145 - This change improves emulation accuracy by more closely mirroring the behaviour of real hardware. - This PR is known to fix GPU timing issues in Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, which is now made playable without use of the "delay render thread" option, but likely impacts many other games as well. - This PR also introduces a fix for an issue in Super Mario 3D Land which would prevent users from loading a save file after completing the game. - This is a big change behind the scenes, and may inadvertently introduce issues due to its large scope. Please report any issues which may have been introduced by the new behaviour. - Games that use dynamic FPS and don't reach 60 FPS on real hardware will also not reach 60 FPS on Azahar with this feature enabled. - The PR description contains an in-depth technical explanation of the changes. - Completely revamped the implementation of GDB functionality, with numerous debugging improvements and new debugging features. | @PabloMK7 #2086 - The PR description for this change goes into extensive detail about the changes, so read there for more information if curious. - Refactored how filesystem access is handled for special files (such as Z3DS files), in preparation for changes coming in Azahar 2127. | @PabloMK7 #2352 - Fixes compressed 3DSX files (`.z3dsx`) with an embedded RomFS failing to load properly. - Users should not expect any visible changes as this is only an internal restructuring of the code. If that is not the case please consider [filing a bug report](https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/issues). - **NOTE: Due to internal changes on how system files are stored, system files set up on Azahar 2126 or newer will become incompatible with older Azahar versions. On the other hand, system files set up on versions older than Azahar 2126 will remain backwards compatible for the foreseeable future**. - More details on why this change is neccessary can be found in the pull request. - Fixed an issue where screenshots produced by Azahar could have their colour channels swapped on certain platforms and system configurations. | @mal-cap #2170 - Added a setting to skip presenting duplicate frames, which is enabled by default. | @KojoZero #1867 - This makes frame generation software work properly with Azahar. - Added a new option which allows users to toggle whether the emulated 3DS system thinks headphones are plugged in. | @PabloMK7 #2099 - A very small number of games have altered behaviour when using wired headphones. For example, when headphones are plugged in while playing Super Mario 3D Land, the audio playback is slightly altered. - In multiplayer rooms, users' usernames are now pulled directly from the username set in the System tab in Azahar's settings instead of being a separate option. - Fixed a crash which could occur when an application submits a vertex array with an invalid base address. | @PabloMK7 #2299 - Known to fix a crash in the credits of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. May fix other problems elsewhere. - Adjusted rom loading error messages displayed to users to be more easily understandable and user-friendly. | @PabloMK7 #2097 - LG2/EX2 subroutine functions are now only emitted for shaders when necessary, instead of for every shader, reducing memory usage. | @Wunkolo #2046 - Fixed an issue where certain older homebrew software would get stuck on a black screen at boot. | @Masamune3210 #2143 - Migrated many of our non-English language translations to simplified language codes, allowing correct system languages to be detected more consistently. | @OpenSauce04 #2152 - Fixed an issue related to disabled cubemap texture units; known fixes in Brain Age: Concentration Training. | @Wunkolo #2159 - Adjusted the unimplemented gas stub behaviour for the Vulkan renderer, fixing a known graphical issue in the Monster Hunter games. | @RedBlackAka #2165 - Fixed a typo in a settings log message. | @72374 #2076 - Fixed a possible integer overflow issue relating to custom Luma3DS mapping + optimized implementation. | @0x48kirneh #2202 - Implemented APT:MapProgramIdForDebug. | @PabloMK7 #2224 - Fixed handling of APT communication between applications. | @DaniElectra #2225 - This fixes an issue in the Miiverse posting applet. - Fixed behaviour of HTTPC:GetRequestState when the request still has pending post data. | @PabloMK7 #2234 - This fixes the miiverse applet not being able to upload posts due to incorrect behaviour. - Added an API to allow applications to register and unregister URL replacements. [Pretendo Network Nimbus now uses this to submit rules for URL replacement](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/nimbus/pull/88). | @PabloMK7 #2234 - Fixed a crash on color fill when using the Vulkan Renderer. | @capito27 #2241 - Disabled PICA debug functionality on all platforms, with it now being a configurable option. | @PabloMK7 #2254 - Fixed an issue related to fill surface downloading, which could cause graphical bugs in some edge cases. | @PabloMK7 #2270 - Implemented APT::GetAppletProgramInfo. | @PabloMK7 #2272 - Known to be used by Miiverse, but is also likely used elsewhere. - Improved the accuracy of emulated CPU timings, fixing potential timing-related bugs. | @ApfelTeeSaft #2262 - Known to fix a softlock issue in Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins, possibly fixes other issues elsewhere. - Fixed an issue which would corrupt the suspended application framembuffer in some cases. - This prevented users from posting images to Miiverse, which is now fixed. | @PabloMK7 #2272 - Improvements to the accuracy of the GSP service, fixing issues relating to suspending applications, posting to Miiverse, and Donkey Kong Country Returns. | @PabloMK7 #2273 - Likely addresses other unknown issues elsewhere. - Replaced various URLs which previously linked to archived Citra website pages to instead point to the Azahar wiki. | @RedBlackAka #1881 - When using multiplayer rooms, it is now possible to set "No Preference" as the preferred game. | @PabloMK7 #2296 - Fixed an issue where auto-mapping could behave incorrectly with some controllers. | @DavidRGriswold #2317 - Assorted minor fixes relating to analog input. | @DavidRGriswold #2348 # Android - Added multiplayer room functionality. | Kleidis, @rtiangha, @Gamer64ytb, @weihuoya, @PabloMK7 #830 - This change includes most of the multiplayer functionality found in the desktop version of Azahar. - Public room browsing, private room creation, private room joining and chat are implemented. - Public room creation and some minor UI features, such as room descriptions or currently playing applications, are not yet implemented. - This feature does NOT implement communication with real consoles nor direct connect between Android devices in near proximity. - Android devices need to be connected to the same Wifi network to be able to play together (or use the Android built-in hotspot or wifi sharing functionality). - Public room browsing is possible as long as the user provides an unofficial web API URL in the new network settings. Official public rooms are still not provided by Azahar. - On devices where ANGLE is used for OpenGL rendering, the Vulkan renderer is forcefully enabled due to extremely apparent visual defects when using the OpenGL renderer with ANGLE. | @OpenSauce04 #2197 - You can tell if your device is affected by checking the renderer selection option in Azahar's settings. It will be greyed out and will display a message related to ANGLE when selected if you are using an ANGLE-enabled device. - Most devices will not yet be affected, however on and after Android 17's release, ANGLE will become enabled by default and mandatory for all _newly released devices_ (not necessarily devices updating to Android 17 from an earlier version). - Fixed an issue where attempting to access files in the Download directory (e.g. CIA files) could sometimes fail after performing certain actions. | @OpenSauce04 #2385 - Added a new "Combo Button" to the on-screen controller overlay which presses multiple buttons at the same time when pressed. @ADAS2024 #1244 #2266 - The buttons activated when the Combo Button is selected can be configured from the settings. - This button is hidden by default, and must be toggled on in the overlay options. - Assorted improvements and new options relating to secondary screen functionality. | @DavidRGriswold #1385 - Fixed several issues related to the "Adjust Scale" menu. | @OpenSauce04 #2256 # Android (vanilla) - Added an in-app toggleable update checker which runs when Azahar starts, functioning the same way as the desktop version. | @OpenSauce04 #2265 # Desktop - Implemented a CLI (command line interface) for Azahar's compression functionality via the new `-c` and `-x` options. | @OpenSauce04 #2084 - See `azahar --help` for more info. - Various improvements to controller integration with Azahar's desktop frontend, including controller hotkeys. | @DavidRGriswold #1717 - Fixed some hotkeys not working correctly when using the Separate Windows screen layout. | @DavidRGriswold #1967 - After uninstalling an app, update or DLC, the game list is now refreshed. | @andrey545454 #2237 - Adjusted "Open Azahar Folder" menubar option to now include variants "NAND Folder" and "SDMC Folder". | @PabloMK7 #2279 - Fixed the Outer Right Camera setting incorrectly reading its value from the Inner Camera Flip setting. | @PabloMK7 #2303 - Fixed an issue related to clearing bindings for hotkeys bound to controllers. | @DavidRGriswold #2325 - Slightly adjusted tooltip for "Disable Right Eye Rendering" setting for increased clarity. | @72374 #2284 # Windows - Introduced the new "MXE" build variant previously discussed in [an announcement on our Discord server](https://discord.com/channels/1222589950365794477/1222591002145984675/1501920882069602315). | @OpenSauce04 #2044 - This new variant will serve as the replacement for the now-deprecated MSYS2 variant, which, as also previously discussed in the above post, will be removed in the 2127.0 update. - Users will be able to migrate from MSYS2 to MXE seamlessly, so existing MSYS2 users have no cause for concern. - For more information about this build, please read the aforementioned announcement post. - Fixed a long-standing issue where Azahar's detection of the system language could be incorrect, resulting in an unexpected language being used in the UI. | @exertustfm #1558 - Many default messages in the user interface provided by upstream Qt (OK, Cancel, etc) are now translated for most languages. | @OpenSauce04 #2153 - For the following languages, these UI strings currently remain untranslated as before due to no translation being available for use in upstream Qt: - Greek, Indonesian, Norwegian Bokmål, Lithuanian, Romania, Vietnamese # macOS - Fixed an issue where SDMC filenames which contain unicode characters could appear and behave partially corrupted within emulated applications. | @RigleGit #2079 - Fixed several minor issues relating to MoltenVK/Metal. | @sergeymild #2149 # Linux - Fixed an issue where analog inputs for certain controllers could be incorrectly centered. | @DavidRGriswold #2328 - This fixes an issue on the Steam Deck where the L and R triggers were stuck pressed down. May also fix issues with other controllers. # Docker - Distribute an ARM64 Docker image binary. | @OpenSauce04 #2151 # Technical - The `USE_DISCORD_PRESENCE` CMake option has been renamed to `ENABLE_DISCORD_RPC`. Downstream users/maintainers should compensate for this accordingly. | @OpenSauce04 #2216 - The `ENABLE_QT_TRANSLATION` CMake option is now enabled by default, adding `qt6-tools-dev` or your package manager's equivalent as a new default build dependency for the Qt frontend if you weren't already manually enabling this flag. | @OpenSauce04 #2206 - Fixed linker warning spam related to the minimum macOS version when Discord RPC was enabled. | @OpenSauce04 #2216 - This issue has existed for a very long time, and doesn't seem to have ever caused any actual issues. This is just a technical correctness thing. - Fixed a compilation failure which could manifest when a system MoltenVK install was present, even if it wasn't being used. | @crueter #2183 - Fixed a compilation error when building in debug mode. | @Wunkolo #2132 - Fixed an issue which prevented the azahar-room Dockerfile from building with Podman. | @OpenSauce04 #2151 - Added debug scopes to OpenGL renderer rasterizer and texture runtime. | @Wunkolo #2133 - Extensive Kotlin codebase formatting cleanup + new formatting/style enforcement in CI via ktlint. | @OpenSauce04 #2204 - Fixed building with OpenAL enabled on OpenBSD. | @OpenSauce04 #2058 - Fixed an inability to generate translation source files in modern build environments due to an outdated `qt_add_lupdate` call. | @OpenSauce04 #2071 - Updated NDK and AGP to more recent versions. | @OpenSauce04 #2068 - Fixed a compilation issue when building with MSYS2 due to upstream package changes. | @PabloMK7 #2236 - Fixed a potential build failure due to a missing include. | @asyync1024 #2232 - Fixed a build failure when attempting to build the libretro core with MSVC due to a malformed switch case. | @XenuIsWatching #2267 - Updated NDK used to build Android libretro core to r27d. | @cscd98 #2298 - Changed all internal references to `azahar_libretro` to instead refer to `citra_libretro` to follow pre-existing project convention. | @OpenSauce04 #2304 - The compiled library filename remains unchanged: `azahar_libretro.*`. - Azahar's build process now recognizes the new environment variable `CITRA_USE_TAG_AS_VERSION`, which, when defined, sets the Azahar version string to the output of: `git describe --tags --dirty`. | @OpenSauce04 #2302

v2126.0-rc5 July 28, 2026

Nouveauté majeure (préparation future) :
- Réorganisation interne du système de gestion des fichiers spéciaux (comme les fichiers Z3DS), avec une correction des fichiers 3DSX compressés (.z3dsx) contenant un RomFS qui ne chargeaient pas correctement.
Incompatibilité critique (à noter) :
- Les fichiers système configurés depuis la version 2126 ou ultérieure seront incompatibles avec les versions antérieures (mais pas l’inverse).
- Impact : Sauvegarde recommandée avant mise à jour.
Correction mineure (interface utilisateur) :
- Correction d’un étiquetage inversé dans le menu "Set Up System Files" (les labels "Old 3DS setup" et "New 3DS setup" étaient échangés).

Correction majeure pour macOS (et Android) :
- Correction d’un crash lors de la création ou de la jointure de salles privées en multijoueur sur Android (et probablement macOS) lorsque l’option de jeu préféré n’est pas explicitement définie, avec ajout de la valeur "No Preference".
Correction critique pour la stabilité :
- Résolution d’un crash lié à la soumission d’un tableau de sommets avec une adresse de base invalide, connu pour bloquer les crédits de Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (et potentiellement d’autres jeux).
Amélioration technique (côté serveur/back-end) :
- Correction d’un bug où la valeur de la caméra "Outer Right" était incorrectement lue depuis celle de "Inner Camera Flip" (affecte la configuration visuelle des jeux).
Mise à jour technique (non visible par l’utilisateur) :
- Mise à jour du NDK utilisé pour la construction du cœur Libretro Android (version r27d), avec des ajustements internes pour aligner les références sur le projet Citra (azahar_libretro → citra_libretro en interne, mais le nom du fichier binaire reste inchangé).

This feature is highly experimental and is disabled by default, the toggle for it can be found in the graphics settings: "Simulate 3DS GPU timings". | @PabloMK7 #2095, #2145 - This change improves emulation accuracy by more closely mirroring the behaviour of real hardware. - This PR is known to fix GPU timing issues in Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, which is now made playable without use of the "delay render thread" option, but likely impacts many other games as well. - This PR also introduces a fix for an issue in Super Mario 3D Land which would prevent users from loading a save file after completing the game. - This is a big change behind the scenes, and may inadvertently introduce issues due to its large scope. Please report any issues which may have been introduced by the new behaviour. - Games that use dynamic FPS and don't reach 60 FPS on real hardware will also not reach 60 FPS on Azahar with this feature enabled. - The PR description contains an in-depth technical explanation of the changes. - Completely revamped the implementation of GDB functionality, with numerous debugging improvements and new debugging features. | @PabloMK7 #2086 - The PR description for this change goes into extensive detail about the changes, so read there for more information if curious. - Fixed an issue where screenshots produced by Azahar could have their colour channels swapped on certain platforms and system configurations. | @mal-cap #2170 - Added a setting to skip presenting duplicate frames, which is enabled by default. | @KojoZero #1867 - This makes frame generation software work properly with Azahar. - Added a new option which allows users to toggle whether the emulated 3DS system thinks headphones are plugged in. | @PabloMK7 #2099 - A very small number of games have altered behaviour when using wired headphones.

v2125.1.3 June 29, 2026

Correction critique sur macOS : Résolution d’un blocage instantané à l’ouverture, dépendant de facteurs comme la version de macOS, la compatibilité du build et l’état du dossier utilisateur (problème récurrent et intermittent).
Amélioration technique macOS : Correction des avertissements du linker lors de la compilation avec la présence riche Discord (backport depuis une version alpha récente), sans rétroportage de la modification du nom de l’option CMake.
Compatibilité logicielle : Mise à jour de dynarmic pour corriger un problème de build lié aux mises à jour des paquets MSYS2 (impact potentiellement indirect sur les builds macOS si dépendances partagées).

Changelog complet

This is an unscheduled release which almost exclusively addresses issues in the macOS version of Azahar. Primarily, it fixes an issue experienced by many users where Azahar could potentially freeze when opened. This issue didn't affect all users, and whether or not it appeared was dependent on multiple factors such as the macOS version being run and the macOS version Azahar was built with, and the current state of the user's Azahar directory. Because of this, it took some time to determine the root cause of the issue. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused for any affected users. --- # Azahar 2125.1.3 Changelog # macOS - Fixed an issue where Azahar could instantly freeze on boot depending on certain factors such as OS version and Azahar user data content. | @OpenSauce04 #2244 # Technical - Backported a fix for linker warnings when building with Discord rich presence on macOS, first introduced in 2126.0 Alpha 2. | @OpenSauce04 #2216 - The CMake option name change introduced in that PR has **not** been backported. - Introduced changes to dynarmic which fix a build issue introduced by MSYS2 package updates. | @PabloMK7 #2236

v2125.1.2 May 14, 2026

Renforcement de la sécurité des distributions :
- Immuabilité des assets : les fichiers de téléchargement officiels sont désormais immuables (verrouillés après publication), empêchant toute modification malveillante (ex. : substitution par des versions truquées). Un cadenas avec le mot "Immutable" indique cette protection sur la page de téléchargement.
- Attestations cryptographiques : chaque binaire officiel est signé avec des métadonnées vérifiables (commit source, horodatage, pipeline CI) via GitHub Attestations. Les utilisateurs peuvent les valider avec la commande : gh attestation verify --owner azahar-emu --predicate-type "https://spdx.dev/Document/v2.3". Utilité : détection de tampering même sur des sources secondaires (ex. : Archive.org).
- Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) : un fichier JSON liste les dépendances logicielles (pour tracer les vulnérabilités). Un script verify-release.sh permet de l’extraire et d’auditer la release (ex. : ./tools/verify-release.sh azahar-emu/azahar 2125.1.2).
Pas de modifications utilisateur visibles : cette mise à jour est purement technique et optionnelle (les utilisateurs peuvent ignorer cette version sans risque). Aucune fonctionnalité ou correction n’est ajoutée par rapport à la version précédente.

Note : Aucune mention spécifique à macOS, Apple Silicon ou builds .dmg dans ce changelog.

Changelog complet

This is an unscheduled release to put into action new security policies we have enabled for Azahar after the recent [TeamPCP supply chain attacks](https://teampcp.cyberdigest.international/), which [affected big open source projects like CEMU Emulator](https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu/issues/1911). **This release contains no user-facing changes when compared with 2125.1.1** outside of the security policy changes. We decided to publish this release now so that the new policies are applied as soon as possible. Users may choose to skip this release if they wish. Please keep in mind that **Azahar was NOT compromised by the attacks and our users are safe. We are just being proactive and adding security measures to our release distribution process as a preventative measure**. --- # Azahar 2125.1.2 Changelog # All - Enabled Attestation and Software Bill Of Materials for release assets to increase release security. | @PabloMK7 #2117 - From now on, Azahar releases are immutable. This means that once we publish a release, the assets linked to it cannot be changed in any way. This prevents token stealers from modifying release assets after they are published. You are able to know if a release is immutable if it shows a padlock icon with the word `Immutable` at the top left of the page. - Starting from this release, Azahar release binaries are attested. This means that all of the official Azahar assets have now signed claims that specify where they were produced (CI jobs), the exact commit and timestamp, and other metadata. - Users should be able to verify the validity of azahar binaries using the GitHub Cli. For example: `gh attestation verify --owner azahar-emu --predicate-type "https://spdx.dev/Document/v2.3" `. This command will only succeed if the file was not tampered with, which is useful when downloading assets from secondary sources, such as our [Internet Archive page](https://archive.org/details/@azahar_emulator). - While plain `sha256` hashes serve to verify integrity, attestations also allow to include the aforementioned metadata. - You can view the attestations for all of our binaries in the [Attestations page](https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/attestations). - Also starting from this release, Azahar binaries have a Sofware Bill Of Materials, which consists in a JSON that (in theory) contains all dependencies Azahar relies upon, which should help tracking vulnerabilities. In practice, this technology is rather new, so not all dependencies are fully detected. You can read more about this in #2117. - A `verify-release` bash script is now provided in our source code that helps verifying the validity of Azahar releases. This allows users to better audit our releases as well as easily obtain the software bill of materials. Example usage is as follows: `./tools/verify-release.sh azahar-emu/azahar 2125.1.2`. You can learn more about this tool in #2117. # Technical - Added `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` to CMake targets where applicable, speeding up build times for certain non-standard build configurations. | @OpenSauce04 #2088 - All libretro core binaries are now stripped, greatly reducing filesize (primarily for the Android core) without affecting functionality in any way. | @OpenSauce04 #2111 - This is only relevant for the core binaries distributed by us; The cores used by the RetroArch core downloader were already doing this.

v2125.1.1 April 21, 2026

Correction d’une régression introduite dans la version 2125.1 affectant l’affichage des coins arrondis des fenêtres en plein écran (Windows uniquement).
Correction d’une régression dans 2125.0 entraînant des plantages sur certains jeux dus à une mauvaise gestion des textures d’ombres.
Compatibilité technique améliorée : remplacement de std::powf par std::pow pour élargir la compatibilité des builds (impact potentiel sur macOS si des dépendances similaires existaient).

(Aucune modification spécifique à macOS ou Apple Silicon dans ce changelog.)

Changelog complet

This is an unscheduled bugfix update which addresses previously undetected regressions in the 2125.0 and 2125.1 releases. Users are advised to update when it is convenient to do so. --- # Azahar 2125.1.1 Changelog # Windows - Fixed a regression introduced in 2125.1 where Azahar could appear to have rounded window corners while fullscreened. | @PabloMK7 #2049 # All - Fixed a regression introduced in 2125.0 where a small number of games could crash due to a shadow texture handling oversight. | @PabloMK7 #2047 # Technical - Changed a newly introduced use of the `std::powf` function in 2125.1 to use `std::pow` instead, restoring wider build environment compatibility. | @cobalt2727 #2045 - Miscellaneous OpenBSD build fixes. | @OpenSauce04 #2052

v2125.1 April 14, 2026

Nouveautés majeures :
- Ajout de l'émulation de la LED de notification du 3DS, visible uniquement dans l'interface desktop (nouvel élément UI dédié).
- Correction majeure de stabilité : mise en œuvre du limiteur de temps CPU syscore pour reproduire le comportement matériel réel, évitant la surcharge des modules LLE (notamment le module BOSS lié aux fonctionnalités en ligne).
- Optimisation graphique : amélioration mineure des performances pour les jeux utilisant des geometry shaders via une optimisation de l'état SETEMIT de GeometryEmitter.
Corrections importantes (cross-platform) :
- Correction des modes de fusion de couleurs défaillants sur le backend OpenGL (résolution d'un artefact noir en bas à droite de l'écran dans certains jeux comme Shin Megami Tensei IV).
- Correction des erreurs de résolution DNS (getaddrinfo/getnameinfo) dans les applications émulées.
- Activation du module LLE BOSS via un paramètre dédié ("Enable required LLE modules for online features").
Spécifique macOS :
- Builds x86_64/Intel désormais cross-compilées depuis un runner ARM64 (macOS), sans impact fonctionnel mais amélioration des pratiques de construction.
- Aucune correction ou ajout spécifique à macOS ou Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) n'est mentionnée dans ce changelog.

Changelog complet

This is a minor release for the 2125 series which introduces bug fixes and some low-risk improvements + new features. --- # Azahar 2125.1 Changelog # All - Added emulation of the 3DS's notification LED. | @PabloMK7 #2019 - Only the desktop frontend exposes this functionality as of now (see "Desktop" section). - Fixed color blend modes behaving incorrectly on the OpenGL graphics backend. | @PabloMK7 #2038 - This notably fixes an issue where a black square could appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen in some games (e.g. Shin Megami Tensei IV) - Implemented `syscore` CPU time limiting to match real hardware behaviour. | @PabloMK7 #1934 - Makes emulated applications properly use the `syscore` without starving LLE system applets, which fixes several subtle timing issues. - Most notably, fixes stability issues caused by having the `BOSS` LLE module enabled. - The `BOSS` LLE module is now enabled by the "Enable required LLE modules for online features" setting. | @PabloMK7 #1952 - Fixed emulated applications receiving incorrect error values from `getaddrinfo`/`getnameinfo` functions. | @GasInfinity #1956 - Optimize GeometryEmitter SETEMIT state, providing a minor performance improvement for games which use geometry shaders. | @Wunkolo #1996 # Desktop - Added a new UI element which displays the emulated 3DS's notification LED. | @PabloMK7 #2019 - Fixed Discord rich presence often not being set correctly due to a race condition. | @PabloMK7 #2035 - Removed Vulkan warnings which could appear at application launch on setups with missing Vulkan features. | @RedBlackAka #1938 - Removed Mesa OpenGL version override due to improved upstream support. | @RedBlackAka #1938 # Android - All builds of Azahar on Android, including the libretro core, now use the Vulkan renderer by default. | @OpenSauce04 #2003 - Note: On builds of Azahar other than the libretro core, this change doesn't apply retroactively to existing user configurations. - Added a button to the about game dialog which allows deletion of disk shader cache on a per-game basis. | @PabloMK7 #2032 - Addressed an issue where orientation changes while a 3DS application is booting could cause the emulator to crash. | @PabloMK7 #2030 - Fixed an issue where hidden 3DS system titles could appear in the application list erroneously. | @PabloMK7 #1935 - Fixed an issue where, if a game was launched via an intent while another game was already open, the new game would be stuck infinitely loading. | @inssekt #2000 - Fixed an issue where resetting the values of the background color setting to the default would cause the app to crash. | @ptyfyre #1959 - Fixed application exits (e.g. with homebrew apps that close themselves) resulting in an "Invalid ROM Format" error dialog. | @SiniKraft #1991 # libretro - Fixed an issue where the libretro core could crash under certain circumstances when using the Vulkan renderer. | @warmenhoven #2004 # Technical - Added new `ENABLE_BUILTIN_KEYBLOB` CMake option, enabled by default. | @PabloMK7 #2024 - This is enabled by default for all of our builds, mimicking prior behaviour. - Disabling it omits the built-in keys usually distributed with Azahar, which disables certain functionality. - Added new `USE_SYSTEM_OAKNUT` CMake option. | @marcin-serwin #1947 - Improved logging for SVC failures. | @PabloMK7 #1948 - Our x86_64/Intel macOS binaries are now cross-compiled from an ARM64 macOS runner. | @OpenSauce04 #1953 - Fixed an issue where attempting to build Azahar's test suite alongside our libretro core while using GCC would result in a linker error. | @warmenhoven #2012 - Fixed several issues related to building and using Azahar on NetBSD. | @OpenSauce04 #1998 - Unit tests are now able to be discovered by IDEs via `catch_discover_tests`. | @Wunkolo #1997 - Correct the response of SendToOther in soc:U. | @GasInfinity #1929 - This is a correctness fix, and has no effect on the end-user.
