Azahar 2126.0 Alpha Version 2

Azahar 2126.0 Alpha 2, an open-source 3DS emulator based on Citra, has been released with several updates. The desktop version fixes language detection issues and enhances UI translations for most languages. On Android, the Vulkan renderer is now enforced on devices using ANGLE, addressing visual defects. Various improvements include handling older homebrew software and refining secondary screen functionality. Technical updates involve renaming a CMake option and fixing compilation errors. The release also migrates non-English translations to simplified language codes for better detection. Download options are available for both x64 and Android platforms.

Azahar changelog:
Desktop
Addressed a persistent issue where Azahar incorrectly detected the system language, leading to an unexpected language being displayed in the UI. | @exertustfm #1558
Default interface messages provided by upstream Qt (OK, Cancel, etc.) are now translated into most languages. | @OpenSauce04 #2153
For the following languages, UI strings remain untranslated due to the absence of available translations in upstream Qt:
Greek, Indonesian, Norwegian Bokmål, Lithuanian, Romanian, Vietnamese
Android
On devices utilizing ANGLE for OpenGL rendering, the Vulkan renderer is forcibly activated due to severe visual defects with the OpenGL renderer under ANGLE. | @OpenSauce04 #2197
To check if your device is affected, look at the renderer selection option in Azahar’s settings. It will be disabled and display a related message if you are using an ANGLE-enabled device.
Most devices are currently unaffected, but starting with Android 17, ANGLE will be enabled by default and required for all new devices (not necessarily those updating from earlier Android versions).
Various improvements and new options concerning secondary screen functionality. | @DavidRGriswold #1385
All
Resolved an issue where some older homebrew applications would freeze on a black screen during boot. | @Masamune3210 #2143
Migrated multiple non-English language translations to simplified language codes, improving system language detection consistency. | @OpenSauce04 #2152
Fixed a problem associated with disabled cubemap texture units; known fixes in Brain Age: Concentration Training. | @Wunkolo #2159
Adjusted the behavior of the unimplemented gas stub for the Vulkan renderer, correcting a known graphical issue in the Monster Hunter series. | @RedBlackAka #2165
Corrected a typo in a settings log message. | @72374 #2076
Further refinements related to the new GDB implementation. | @PabloMK7 #2145
Resolved a potential integer overflow issue concerning custom Luma3DS mapping + optimized implementation. | @0x48kirenh #2202
Docker
Distributed an ARM64 Docker image binary. | @OpenSauce04 #2151
macOS
Fixed several minor issues related to MoltenVK/Metal. | @sergeymild #2149
Technical
Renamed the USE_DISCORD_PRESENCE CMake option to ENABLE_DISCORD_RPC. Downstream users/maintainers should make the necessary adjustments. | @OpenSauce04 #2216
The ENABLE_QT_TRANSLATION CMake option is now enabled by default, adding qt6-tools-dev or the equivalent from your package manager as a new build dependency for the Qt frontend if it wasn’t already manually enabled. | @OpenSauce04 #2206
Fixed excessive linker warning related to the minimum macOS version when Discord RPC was activated. | @OpenSauce04 #2216
This issue has persisted for an extended period without causing any known problems. It’s likely just a matter of technical correctness.
Fixed a compilation failure that could occur with a system MoltenVK install, even if it wasn’t actively used. | @crueter #2183
Resolved a compilation error during debug mode builds. | @Wunkolo #2132
Fixed an issue that prevented the azahar-room Dockerfile from building successfully with Podman. | @OpenSauce04 #2151
Added debug scopes to the OpenGL renderer rasterizer and texture runtime. | @Wunkolo #2133
Conducted an extensive cleanup of the Kotlin codebase formatting + introduced new formatting/style enforcement in CI via ktlint. | @OpenSauce04 #2204
