  • This is a hotfix for the 2121 update which primarily addresses an issue relating to save states which wasn't caught during the release candidate period. Apologies if you were affected by the issue.
  • Fixed an issue where the emulator would crash when loading a save state while using the OpenGL renderer | @PabloMK7 #1016
  • This change breaks backwards compatibility with save states made in Azahar version 2121 or earlier.
  • Before updating to this version, please ensure that you have saved using the in-game save dialog.
  • To avoid the above issue, this should be done while using the Vulkan renderer.
  • For more information on how to appropriately use save states and avoid unexpected loss of progress, please read our blog post on the topic: https://azahar-emu.org/blog/understanding-save-states
• Desktop
  • Added a scroll bar to the Layout tab in the settings menu. | @SeppNel #1004
  • This fixes an issue where, at certain screen resolutions, the height of the settings menu would be so tall that the Ok and Cancel buttons would be off of the bottom edge of the screen, and couldn't be clicked.

• All
  • Redownloading owned DLCs is now supported. | @PabloMK7 #950
  • Added a new Turbo feature which allows increasing the emulation speed to a pre-specified percentage using a hotkey or on-screen button for desktop and Android respectively. | kleidis #605, @icy-briar #910 #911, @OpenSauce04 #963
  • Added a new Screen Gap feature which allows the gap between the top and bottom screen to be configured by the user. | @DavidRGriswold #622
  • Fixed an issue where Streetpass Mii Plaza wouldn't detect its own update data. | @PabloMK7 #930
  • Fixed an issue where certain decrypted DLCs would fail to install and would instead be incorrectly detected as encrypted. | @PabloMK7 #979
  • The maximum value for the 3D slider has been increased from 100% to 255%. | @oneup03 #602
  • The maximum value possible on real hardware is 100%, so going beyond this value may cause graphical oddities.
  • In cases where the current application may change mid-emulation, such as launching an application from the HOME menu, the shader cache is now associated with the currently running application. | @PabloMK7 #978
  • Previously, after starting an application, all subsequent shader cache would be associated with the originally started application, meaning that shader cache for application started via the HOME menu would still be associated with the HOME menu.
  • Fixed cheats and the RPC server affecting the wrong processes. | @PabloMK7 #956
  • Fixed an issue which could cause emulation to break when no audio input samples had been captured. | @Midou36O #955
  • This addresses an issue with the game "Brain Age: Concentration Training"
• Desktop
  • The azahar-room executable has had its functionality added to the main azahar executable, accessable by passing the new --room command line option. | @OpenSauce04 #873

  • | @OpenSauce04
  • Instead, the new --room option should be used.

  • Fixed an issue where the changes the hotkey configuration wouldn't save correctly. | @SeppNel #945

  • Fixed an issue where using Save State > Save to Oldest Slot could cause the emulator to crash under certain circumstances. | @PabloMK7 #977
  • Fixed screenshots produced using the Capture Screenshot hotkey while using the Hybrid Screen layout using the wrong layout. | kleidis #807
  • Various minor adjustments have been made to the settings menu which improve consistency. | @OpenSauce04 #877
  • When using the Seperate Windows layout alongside 3D functionality, the bottom screen is no longer rendered twice. | @oneup03 #602
• Linux
  • Our AppImage build is now distributed as a single uncompressed file rather than being compressed within a zip file amongst other unnecessary files. | @OpenSauce04 bac344d

  • See also: ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9940
  • Improved Wayland window icon compatibility. | @HurricanePootis #935
• MacOS
  • Native MacOS menubar integration has been temporarily disabled in favour of the non-native Qt menu bar. | @OpenSauce04 #995
  • This is to address an issue where some menubar entires would inexplicably disappear when using certain non-English languages, making their functionality unaccessible.
  • The issue doesn't occur when using the non-native Qt menubar, hence the change.
  • A follow-up release will re-enable native menubar integration once the issue has been resolved.
  • The minimum MacOS version has been bumped from 13.0 to 13.4. | @mal-cap #984
  • The number of files distributed in our pre-built MacOS archives has been reduced by stripping unnecessary files. | @OpenSauce04 1e8cc02
  • This change also applies to Windows, however due to the high number of other files distributed with those builds, the effect is less noticeable.
• Android
  • The icon of the currently running application/game is now displayed in the top left corner of the drawer menu. | kleidis #809
  • Added a new button to the long-press about menu which allows users to open various folders related to a game, such as the location of the application's save data, DLC, textures, mods, etc. | kleidis #823
  • Added a new button to the long-press about menu which allows users to uninstall a game, its updates, or its DLC. | kleidis #823
  • The quicksave save state can now be saved to using the UI rather than being exclusively usable via a hotkey. | kleidis #812
  • Added a new portrait layout, Original, which maintains accurate proportions for the top and bottom screen. | @DavidRGriswold #625
  • Added a new Expand to Display Cutout option which allows the emulation display to expand to the area taken up by the camera notch. | kleidis #597

  • Fixed an issue where the Pause Emulation button in the drawer could have a "paused" icon while emulation is unpaused under certain conditions. | kleidis #810
• Technical
  • For tagged releases, our unified sources archive now simply uses the name of the tag in its filename rather than the commit hash and date. | @OpenSauce04 b4699d9
  • Fixed a issue with the desktop update checker which could cause pre-release builds to erroneously attempt to downgrade to the prior stable release. | @OpenSauce04 #994
  • This issue never actually affected any real users, as the last time we did a pre-release there were no stable releases for the update checker to attempt to downgrade to.
  • Fixed an issue where MacOS build would fail when using Xcode 16.3 or newer. | @mal-cap #984
  • New tool scripts have been added which handle previously manual pre-release tasks. | @OpenSauce04 1d562cd

  • Fixed File::Write() not conforming to debug header validation. | @lannoene #952
  • Added a new property isEnabled for settings entries on Android which allows a setting to be greyed out. | kleidis #814
  • Fixed a compilation failure when attempting to build for LoongArch. | @PabloMK7 @ouni666 #732
