⚠️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 d’éviter des crashes dans certains mods de jeux ciblant spécifiquement l’émulateur.

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

v2126.1-rc3 September 4, 2026

Corrections majeures :
- Correction d’un crash lié à la modification de la résolution interne pendant l’émulation, entraînant des artefacts graphiques et des fuites mémoire critiques (problème apparu dès la version Alpha 1).
- Résolution d’un crash potentiel lors de la lecture de jeux avec des textures personnalisées.
- Réversion d’une régression introduite dans la RC1 causant des saccades audio majeures lorsque le stretching audio était activé (cause : tentative précédente d’amélioration de la latence audio, désormais abandonnée).

v2126.0 August 10, 2026

Amélioration majeure de l'émulation GPU :
- Activation expérimentale (désactivée par défaut) d'une simulation plus précise des interruptions et des temporisations du GPU 3DS via le paramètre "Simulate 3DS GPU timings" (réglages graphiques).
- Résultat concret : Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon devient jouable sans contournement (suppression de l'option "delay render thread"), et Super Mario 3D Land corrige un bug de chargement de sauvegarde post-jeu.
- Attention : Impact potentiel sur les jeux utilisant un FPS dynamique (non-stable à 60 FPS sur matériel réel → même comportement en émulation avec cette option activée).
Correction critique pour macOS :
- Pas de modification spécifique à macOS dans cette version (pas de build .dmg, d'optimisation Apple Silicon, ni de correctif lié à un bug macOS).
Incompatibilité arrière des fichiers système :
- Restructuration interne du système de fichiers (Z3DS, RomFS) rendant les configurations créées depuis la 2126.0 incompatibles avec les versions antérieures.
- Inverse : les configurations anciennes restent compatibles avec la 2126.0.
Optimisations graphiques et correctifs ciblés :
- Suppression des sous-routines LG2/EX2 inutiles dans les shaders (réduction de la consommation mémoire).
- Correction des bugs graphiques dans Monster Hunter (Vulkan) et Brain Age: Concentration Training (unités de texture cubemap désactivées).
- Fix des plantages liés aux tableaux de sommets invalides (ex. : crédits de Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga).
Améliorations mineures mais utiles :
- Intégration du nom d'utilisateur (paramètre "System") dans les salles de jeu multiplayer.
- Ajout d'un toggle pour simuler un casque audio branché (impact sur certains jeux comme Super Mario 3D Land).
- Désactivation par défaut de la présentation des frames dupliquées (compatible avec les logiciels de capture).

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

Refonte majeure des accès aux fichiers système (préparation pour la version 2127) :
- Correction des fichiers 3DSX compressés (.z3dsx) avec un RomFS intégré qui ne chargeaient pas correctement.
- Incompatibilité rétrograde : les fichiers système configurés depuis la version 2126 ou ultérieure ne seront plus compatibles avec les anciennes versions. Les configurations antérieures restent compatibles.
Correction visuelle critique :
- Les étiquettes "Old 3DS setup" et "New 3DS setup" étaient inversées dans le menu de configuration des fichiers système.

v2126.0-rc2 July 11, 2026

Nouveauté majeure expérimentale :
- Amélioration radicale de l’émulation du GPU (file d’interruption et timing), désactivée par défaut mais accessible via "Simulate 3DS GPU timings" dans les paramètres graphiques. → Résout des problèmes de timing dans Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon (plus besoin du contournement "delay render thread") et corrige un bug de chargement de sauvegarde dans Super Mario 3D Land. → Risque potentiel d’instabilité : à tester avec prudence.
Corrections critiques :
- Réparation d’un crash lié aux remplissages de couleur sous le rendu Vulkan (affectait des jeux comme Monster Hunter).
- Correction d’un bug de communication APT bloquant l’envoi de posts sur Miiverse (problèmes dans l’applet officielle).
- Fix d’un débordement d’entier dans les mappings personnalisées Luma3DS, optimisation du code associé.
Améliorations utilisateur :
- Intégration du nom d’utilisateur (depuis les paramètres système) dans les salles de jeu multi, remplaçant l’option dédiée.
- Messages d’erreur de chargement de ROMs reformulés pour plus de clarté.
- Ajout d’un toggle pour simuler des écouteurs branchés (impact mineur sur certains jeux comme Super Mario 3D Land).
Optimisations techniques :
- Réduction de la mémoire utilisée par les shaders LG2/EX2 (subroutines émises uniquement si nécessaires).
- Correction d’un bug de cubemap désactivé (affectait Brain Age: Concentration Training).
- Mise à jour des codes de langue pour une détection systémique plus fiable (suppression des doublons).
Stabilité et compatibilité :
- Fix d’un écran noir au démarrage pour certains homebrews anciens.
- Correction d’un problème de duplication de frames (option "Skip presenting duplicate frames" activée par défaut pour les logiciels de capture).
- Suppression de la fonctionnalité PICA debug (désormais configurable) pour éviter des artefacts graphiques

v2125.1.3 June 29, 2026

Correction majeure sur macOS : Résolution d’un blocage instantané à l’ouverture, dépendant de la version de macOS, du contenu des données utilisateur et de la version de l’émulateur compilée (problème intermittent et complexe à reproduire).
Compatibilité macOS : Correction d’un avertissement du linker lors de la compilation avec la présence riche Discord sur macOS (rétropolation d’une fix issue de la version Alpha 2 de 2026).
Technique (builds) : Mise à jour de dynarmic pour corriger une incompatibilité avec les mises à jour des paquets MSYS2 (impactant potentiellement les builds externes).

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 téléchargements :
- Immutabilité des assets : Les fichiers de téléchargement sont désormais figés (marqués par un cadenas avec le mot "Immutable" sur GitHub), empêchant toute modification post-publiée (ex. : substitution par des malwares).
- Attestations cryptographiques : Chaque binaire officiel est signé avec des métadonnées vérifiables (commit source, horodatage, pipeline CI) via la commande gh attestation verify ou un script verify-release.sh fourni.
- Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM) : Fichier JSON listant les dépendances (pour tracer les vulnérabilités, bien que l’outil soit encore en développement).
Optimisations techniques :
- Réduction de la taille des cœurs libretro (notamment pour Android) grâce au stripping des binaires, sans perte de fonctionnalité.

Note : Aucune modification utilisateur visible ou spécifique à macOS dans cette version.

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 majeure de régression : Résolution d’un problème critique où certains jeux pouvaient planter à cause d’une erreur dans la gestion des textures d’ombre (affectait les versions 2125.0 et 2125.1).
Compatibilité étendue : Remplacement de std::powf par std::pow pour améliorer la portabilité sur divers environnements de build (impact technique, pas spécifique à macOS).
Fix Windows uniquement : Correction d’un bug visuel où les coins des fenêtres pouvaient paraître arrondis en plein écran (régression introduite en 2125.1).

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 des modes de mélange de couleurs dans le backend OpenGL, résolvant un artefact visuel (carré noir en bas à droite de l'écran dans certains jeux comme Shin Megami Tensei IV).
- Mise en œuvre du limiteur de temps CPU syscore, reproduisant le comportement matériel réel et stabilisant les applications émulées (notamment avec le module LLE BOSS activé).
Corrections importantes :
- Fonctionnalités réseau corrigées : les appels getaddrinfo/getnameinfo ne retournent plus de valeurs d'erreur incorrectes dans les applications émulées.
- Optimisation des shaders géométriques : amélioration mineure des performances pour les jeux utilisant des geometry shaders (état SETEMIT de GeometryEmitter).
Spécifique macOS :
- Binaries x86_64 pour macOS désormais cross-compilées depuis un runner ARM64, simplifiant potentiellement les builds multi-architectures (impact indirect sur la compatibilité).

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.
