  • Azahar Emulator is a new Nintendo 3DS emulator that’s currently in development.
  • Based on the now-defunct Citra, it merges Lime3DS and PabloMK7’s Citra fork.
  • Work on the previous two emulators has ceased.

There’s new hope in the world of Nintendo 3DS emulation! While a few forks have popped up in the wake of Citra’s shutdown earlier this year, this new project is the first one with real hope of building on its legacy.

Azahar Emulator (pronounced ah-thah-ahr) is a new Citra fork that merges the Lime3DS and PabloMK7’s Citra fork. Azahar is Spanish for “orange blossom,” which is a nice nod to the original project while still signaling a new era.
