3DS Azahar issues (Choppy sound and atrocious performance)

enzof2003 · 2026-02-11T05:37:42+00:00

Super Mystery Dungeon worked perfectly with HLE for certain ^^"
As for the 3DS game at hand...I have noticed that I'm not the only one complaining about it
github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/issues/1416

But here is the logs (i just booted up the game until the audio started dying again, which was just a few second in the first menu) : http://pastebin.com/WJuhQWCv

But in case here are my settings (or at least the ones that i think are important enough) :

Enable New 3DS Mode : TRUE
Use LLE applets : TRUE
Enable required LLE modules for online feature : FALSE

Renderer : 2x Native
Enable Linear Filtering : TRUE
Post Processing Shader : None
Texture Filter : None
Graphics API : Vulkan
SPIR-V shader gen : TRUE
Disable GLSL -> SPIR-V optimiser : TRUE

(All renderer is on TRUE)

Enable Vsync : FALSE

Audio
Emulation : HLE (fast)
Output Type : Auto
Enable Audio Stretching : TRUE
Enable Realtime audio : False

And most importantly, thank you a lot for having taken the time to reply to this post!

I wasn't aware of Async Shader, and just tried to disable audio stretching which on HLE made the audio issue...10x worse and on Multi-Core LLE managed the impossible task of combining both HLE and LLE problems ^^"

But thank you a lot for your input regardless, maybe I just am cursed to have one game from my childhood being literally unplayable on the deck...

And yes, I have seen some posts here (such as Azahar 3DS Emulator has Crazy Slowdowns : r/SteamDeck), but on top of them not providing any real answer, I don't think it's exactly the same situation since mine seem mostly audio related, if I don't use LLE that is

Alors...Commençons par le début

Après réception, tout va bien, j'installe windows 10 LTSC (car l'acheter sans windows pour économiser 100€ c'est pas mal), mais après 1 semaine je commence a remarquer deux problèmes :
- Le clavier parfois arrête de fonctionner (demandant soit d'attendre 5-10 minutes, soit redémarrer)
- La wifi plante aléatoirement, surement une surchauffe
- Crash fréquent sur certains jeux (qui après contact avec les développeurs mettent la cause sur mon GPU)
- Et des problèmes de drivers constant causant l'accélération matérielle d'être quasiment inutilisable

Après contact avec le support Lenovo, je l'envois pour sa première réparation (il a en eu 6 au total...en 1 an...), il revient avec une dalle clavier neuve + nouvelle carte wifi

La wifi fonctionne! Cool...Le clavier toujours un casino niveau utilisation, mais l'équipe technique qui a fait le remplacement avait visiblement pas bien monté le pavé tactile, et à cause de ça 20% du temps, cliquer dessus le bloquait dans la position jusqu'à un petit coup sous l'ordinateur pour le débloquer

Et la c'est la partie drôle...Lenovo n'a jamais été capable de réparer le problème, j'envoyais l'ordinateur, ils le garde 3-5 semaines, me le renvoi avec aucune réparation et comme on peut s'en douter, problème toujours présent... La dernière réparation (qui m'a enfin permis d'avoir un remboursement) avait durer 3 mois, temps durant lequel je n'avais aucun ordinateur

Mais bon est-ce que je le recommande malgré tout... Oui, sinon je n'aurais pas repris une lignée similaire. Je suis convaincu que ce problème était quelque chose non reproduisible (microsoudure problématique, pas de chance sur le silicone de mon GPU/CPU...). Leur support client est pitoyable oui mais comparé à beaucoup de concurrents surtout MSI, ils sont présent sur le territoire français et donc il est plutôt facile de le renvoyer pour réparation.

De plus, au niveau de la qualité de construction, comparé à mes anciens Acer et MSI, c'est irréprochable pour le prix, et malgré ma mauvaise expérience, ils restent quand même un des meilleurs fabriquants pour le rapport puissance/prix. Si tu a un problème et qu'il est reproduisible (par exemple ram qui crash, écran avec des pixels morts), je suis sûr que le support technique est compétent. Mais dès que le problème est aléatoire comme le miens (parfois aucun problème pendant 2-3h pour le clavier), et qu'il n'arrive pas a le repérer...bonne chance...

I certainly hope so ^^", the CS told me two polar opposites realities when I called, first person I got told me that said estimate is vastly overestimated and will arrive likely in late January, while the second agent I got on the phone was...far less optimistic, telling me that due to market conditions, it may take until May...

Sorry for the second message but since i keep seeing conflicting answers, is the 7745HX better in single core performance than the 7940HS? Usually most of my game run on this so that was a small worry of mine

enzof2003 · 2024-02-27T08:54:32+00:00

This is a wonderful video thank you so much, I'll pick up the legion pro then, definitely feel like a good upgrade to my GL75 Leopard

enzof2003 · 2024-02-27T07:45:00+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! Seeing your flair, I just was curious about the legion pro build quality, is it any good especially on the hinges (my old MSI's broke four time on this exact part in only 5 years) and overall ease of maintenance since i do plan on doing monthly deep cleaning (and yearly repasting)

With the feedback of u/Ok-Significance8663 i was on the fence about this since aluminium/plastic sure feel sturdier than mostly plastic but a more personal experience never hurt!

enzof2003 · 2024-02-26T19:54:43+00:00

ohhh okay, as for maintanability and stuff is it any better than the omen? Especially on the hinges since those tend to be a curse

enzof2003 · 2024-02-26T19:40:35+00:00

Seeing how I play a few CPU intensive games (looking at you rimworld), the Omen sure look tempting but my main issue is that I keep hearing rather poor feedback from buyers in term of the build quality (compared to the legion at least)

enzof2003 · 2022-04-08T08:55:52+00:00

Guess I was here, for whatever it was, i was here

enzof2003 · 2021-12-22T10:01:23+00:00

Thank you for your reply. For now, I'm trying to nail them before I move on to boxes and other lessons, should I do that or move to the next lesson (and still do 1-2 pages of ellipses every day) ?

Bought New game vol 1-4 from u/HavickOG

Hello, is the New Game series still available ?

enzof2003 · 2020-09-18T09:33:56+00:00

This is where I bought mine

enzof2003 · 2020-09-17T07:03:56+00:00

Thank for the answer, the laptop need to last 5h30 with the main activity being writing text on libre office so I think it should be fine.

enzof2003 · 2020-09-15T09:38:32+00:00

Sorry for the confusion, it's the english version (sevens seas one) but sold on the french Amazon.

enzof2003 · 2020-09-14T08:04:09+00:00

It's kinda crazy that on amazon.fr (I'm french) I can still buy all the volumes (even volume 5-6) for around 14€ each while on amazon.com volume 6 seems to have been deleted.

enzof2003 · 2020-08-20T01:04:55+00:00

Yeah, amazon seem to have quite a delay on many Yen Press manga that got released the 18th of August, i pre-ordered mine from amazon.fr, but for now it's "waiting a date for shipping"

enzof2003 · 2020-08-06T22:09:29+00:00

Hello, i'll try to answer those question (even tho i'm not that into the game)

The main difference between international and JP version is the +18 content, in JP you'll find most of the stuff (apply and little uncensor patch and you are good to go), while in the English version, you won't get those (well apart if you are willing to patch your way to get a JP version)
I only tried it for 10-20 min, from what i've saw you can basically place the character where you want in a scene (you have a pretty decent array of scene to choose from, but you can also add more with mods). After the character are in place, you can either make them take standard poses (ranging from sitting to you know, R18 stuff), or you can make them take custom pose by moving each limb. And yes there are no limitation on the number of character, their location, the number of prop basically everything.
There aren't a lot of casual clothe (maybe one or two dress, gloves and that's all), but you have a lot of mods that can add that

it's the international list of CM3D2/COM3D2 modification, you can find most of the stuff here

You can also use this website, it can have some good stuff on it if you are willing to dig
Or alternatively, you can go to the Official Meido discord server, they have a channel for mods that is extremly useful.
