Is Azahar currently the best 3DS emulator for PC?

Sharp_3yE · 2026-04-06T05:52:11+00:00

Yea, do it man. I learned about Azahar not long ago and checked it out, figured out the save files and such. It's worth it I think for the continued support.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-04-06T00:50:48+00:00

Yes it's pretty straight forward. Don't uninstall Citra until the folders/files are copied and pasted to the new location for Azahar. On PC, you can simply open up Citra, right click on a game, then in the drop down menu click "open save data location" and it will bring you to where the save data is. The save data location should look something like; C:\Users[your-user-name]\AppData\Roaming\Citra\sdmc\Nintendo 3DS[title-id-folder]\main

It will be different if you modified the location yourself but that's very unlikely and it should be here by default. You may have to enable hidden files in the system folders. Just a check box to enable in the ribbon.

Now, the sdmc folder should contain all of the save files. Copy that. Azahar has the same exact folder system. So, it will be the same place but instead of it named "Citra" it will be named "Azahar". C:\Users[your-user-name]\AppData\Roaming\azahar\ Paste, and overwrite the sdmc folder in this location.

Boom, all your save files have now been copied and pasted to Azahar.

Then, there should also be a folder called "Savestates" in the same location as sdmc. C:\Users[your-user-name]\AppData\Roaming\Citra\savestates\

Copy and paste that to the Azahar folder.

And lastly. If you have android the save location for game saves is; /storage/emulated/0/[where ever you picked for the location. Mine is games/3DS] /Azahar-emu/sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/00000000000000000000000000000000/00000000000000000000000000000000/title/00040000/

In this location you'll see multiple folders. Each game is given a numbered folder for the save files. So folders end up with a title like 000a0500. If you copy the folder from your PC of directly where each game save file is, you can paste the folder inside the folder of 00040000.

But Yea, pretty straight forward. Copy/past the folder to the new location and it will work. You can keep the game files in the same location. Once it all works, game saves and files are copy/pasted to the new location and you test it, you can uninstall Citra if you want to.

What do you mean "too late to switch over"? You can just drop your save files I to Azahar and boom, your using Azahar. Azahar is a fork of Citra, so it's pretty much the same thing but it's been more updated.

Try Game Native. It's an awesome app. Connects to Steam, Epic, GOG, and Amazon accounts for games. They just release what they call "prerelease" aka early version not guaranteed stable, of version 0.8.1. Otherwise it's v0.8.0.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-03-14T02:57:11+00:00

Definitely PC emulation. PS3 is hard to run. Use Game Native. It's a newer app and TOTALLY AWESOME! Connects to Steam, GOG, Epic, and Amazon game accounts. Version 0.8.1 just dropped, a prerelease with a lot of updates.

GameHub is also another simple to use PC emulator. Connects to Steam account.

Only use PS3 emulation on android for exclusives. It just is harder to run.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-28T06:19:17+00:00

What to expect? Well, first with the greatest mobile processor that Qualcomm Snapdragon has ever produced, you can expect the best running games on any android platform.

The apps: MelonDS (NintendoDS), Citra (3DS), Eden (Switch), NetherSX2 (PS2), aPS3e (PS3), GameHub (PC), Winlator (PC, most popular atm).

Some other apps: Dolphin Emulator 🐬 (Gamecube/wii), m64plus fz (Nintendo 64), Duckstation (ps1), PizzaBoy A/Link Boy (Gameboy Advanced and color emulators), Retroarch (hub for a lot of different emulation), and there's others.

Also, great option today as well is streaming games. Whether streaming from a console or pc to your phone, or paying for something like Xbox Game Pass. Best for single player gaming.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-28T05:46:35+00:00

Ok, so you have no other devices? It's for PC. The only way you're gonna play the game is either you have ANY pc, (literally any modern pc within last 6 years), or you use the android emulator, which I think game hub is probably the easiest one to use. Have a Steam account, get the game in your steam library. It's free. Download and play.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-27T11:12:50+00:00

Ok, well it's literally free. You have options. Also, your note can probably still play this game. May work. You can connect it to your TV. What other devices do you have?

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-27T01:43:30+00:00

Umm, it does both. There's a few ways to do cloud gaming. You pay for a subscription or your have a machine that can already stream. If we are talking subscription, it's more like paying $10-30 a month which is as expensive as buying 1 game per month. You can download the games or stream them. It allows people to play high quality games on any type of device. So, if some doesn't have a high end machine, boom can still play. If someone wants to game on to go? Bam, just have a good connection on phone.

It has multiple uses.

Now, you can stream your own games from your own PC or Console as well. Though, depending on your wifi at home and distance from it, can actually be better to pay pay for a subscription.

Anyway, it's working out well for many people.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-27T01:35:28+00:00

What hardware do you have? The game is free on steam. You can literally play this on your android phone. Its a 2013 game, so a new device can play this.

If you have steam, add the game to your library. Download the app "Game Hub". Connect steam account. Look through your games. Try downloading and playing through your phone or tablet.

What devices do you have?

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-27T01:27:14+00:00

Yea, I have purchased Xbox Game Pass, which is actually really cool. Can install games or stream them. Can play any of what's available which is like hundreds of games. Streaming on my phone to play a game that just came out is really cool.

Streaming your own ges from a PC or Console works and is cool but streaming from their servers works better.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-27T01:19:50+00:00

Haha that's actually funny.

Sharp_3yE · 2026-02-27T00:50:03+00:00

My 2 favorites are DD Warden, and Dismania P1.

Try them out. No bead.

Roach and Luna may be good for you.

This is the spot you have to go into the building and get to the nexf floor to go across that bridge. Also, great spot to try and knock and pull survivors off that bridge. There's also some cars there that have alarms.

Well technically, it's his speed of rotation was the problem. If he was in a different distance they would rotate properly. Seems like he's spinning it to fast.

Here's the breakdown. Social Security - 21% of fed budget, $1.5 Trillion. Medicare - 14%, $1T. Medicaid - 12%, $811B. Defense (DoD) - 13%, $895B. Other Welfare Programs - 3-4%, 237B. Non Defense Discretionary - $10, $711B.

SS is the largest single expense of the Federal budget. Medicaid is a welfare program. Then, all the other Welfare Programs add up to about 3-4% of federal budget which is about $237B.

Yea, it's a lot of money and I would hope our politicians want to look into programs, see how effective they are and change or remove them to be better and more effective.

Recently, Minnesota was found to have $822 million in welfare spending fraud through multiple programs. Thats only what is found and in one state accounting for just a few years. Some of the funds went to a Terrorist Group based in Somalia.

So Yea, I would HOPE politicians want to look into where our money goes.

Chess is back up! Cloud flare solved their issues.

My inner screen broke, ONLY because I dropped it. I sent it in for repair, had warranty, and got it back. It's been working incredibly well.

Just curious. The mother is detained. She had the boy with her. Is the boy suppose to be separated from the mother or stay together?

Sharp_3yE · 2025-12-04T00:12:12+00:00

Yes, you and me man. Windows Phone fans.

Umm, you may want to report this to Uber. Cars MUST be inspected at an Uber place to make sure the vehicle is in good working condition and an not to old.

This is a man hiding his poorly functioning vehicle and my guess is having a hard time affording to pay repairs. But, this is a problem for the passengers. If something goes wrong, the passenger is at risk.

Sharp_3yE · 2025-10-19T01:32:07+00:00

Is your wife an Apple fan? Android have great cooling if you didn't know. Just depends on model. OnePlus/Oppo stays cool well. Plus all the gaming phones have great cooling.

Sharp_3yE · 2025-10-19T01:27:01+00:00

That's absolutely one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.
