Azahar 2120-RC1 is released. An open-source 3DS emulator project based on Citra.
Azahar changelog:
All:
The method of acquiring the 3DS system files has been completely overhauled, now requiring the use of a real 3DS and the new Artic Setup Tool. | @PabloMK7
The old method of acquiring system files has been removed

If 3DS system files have been installed, games owned by your eShop account can now be downloaded directly from the 3DS eShop application | @PabloMK7
Fixed various issues relating to save states | @PabloMK7 #656
Added a new performance hack option named “Disable Right Eye Rendering” | @PabloMK7 758ded7
The 3DS renders for both the left and right eye, even when 3D is not being used. This hack disables rendering one of the eyes, which can result in performance improvements of up to 50% for some games
Certain games may experience graphical issues when using this hack. Try it everywhere and see what works!
You can use the stereoscopic side by side mode to check if the image for the right eye is being disabled, to verify the compatibility of the game
Added a new option which enables all LLE modules required for online functionality | @PabloMK7 d5745ca
Support for encrypted applications has been dropped. Applications must now be dumped in a decrypted format to be used. | @PabloMK7

For historical reasons related to the origin of the extension, support for the .3ds file extension has been dropped
Azahar now makes use of the .cci extension, which is the true name of the format used by .3ds files
You can still make use of ROMs with the .3ds file extension by simply renaming the file to use the .cci extension.

The virtual 3DS now has a randomly generated MAC address | @PabloMK7
This can be set based on the MAC address of your real 3DS or regenerated at any time via the settings menu
microprofile is now disabled by default at compile time, saving a small amount of RAM | @PabloMK7 #651
Desktop:
If the system is set to dark mode and the default Azahar theme is being used, white icons will now be used instead of the previous hard-to-see black-on-grey icons | @kleidis #623, @rtiangha #668
Windows:
Fixed an issue where the Windows build would occasionally be unable to generate file paths | @PabloMK7 #588
Android:
Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause renaming files to fail | @PabloMK7 d5745ca
Fixed issues relating to configuration data not being saved correctly | @PabloMK7 d5745ca
Made AM title scanning asynchronous, resulting in significantly faster game boot times under most circumstances | @PabloMK7 d5745ca
Made certain AM functions asynchronous, which helps to prevent some unnecessary stuttering while games are running | @PabloMK7 d5745ca
Fixed an issue relating to the SOC service which could cause crashes | @PabloMK7 d5745ca
Technical:
The CMake option previously known as ENABLE_DEDICATED_ROOM has been renamed to ENABLE_ROOM | @OpenSauce04 56e96de
A new CMake option, ENABLE_NATIVE_OPTIMIZATION, has been added which enables -march=native for the C and C++ compilers if supported | @OpenSauce04 c024933
See here for more information on what that means: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GCC_optimization#cpu-type
A new CMake option, ENABLE_MICROPROFILE, has been added which enables the now-disabled-by-default microprofile
Various external dependencies have been updated | @OpenSauce04 #615 #616
