- Azahar 3DS emulator released a minor update that fixes a security flaw in the RPC server setting.
- Previously, other users on your network could read and write data to the emulated application’s memory.
- Online capabilities added in recent updates make the feature more risky than before.
Nintendo 3DS emulation is better than ever thanks to the merging of Lime3DS and PabloMK7’s Citra forks into the new Azahar emulator, but if you have the emulator installed on your device you need to update it right away.
Previous versions of the app have the RPC server enabled by default, which can be useful for external game displays or integrations with streaming tools. However, it also poses a risk, since other devices on your local network can read from and write to the emulated application’s memory. There was no option to turn it off in settings.
