Two more Release Candidate updates have been quickly released for Azahar , the 3DS console emulator born from the merger of Citra3DS and Lime3DS .

This new release fixes issues identified in the first Release Candidate 2120-rc1 and introduces a fix for a graphics bug that has been around since the days of Citra .

The update is also especially important for macOS users, as it fixes a serious bug that prevented the HOME Menu from launching and caused virtual 3DS system files to become corrupted.

Users affected by this issue can update to the new version and reinstall to remove the corrupted data.

Additionally, several general fixes have been implemented, including support for the framebuffer vertical inversion flag, which fixes a historical issue with Starfox 64 3D , and the ability to configure New 3DS files on older hardware.

Also restored the Report Compatibility button in the Help menu, now linked to the Azahar compatibility guide , and improved the readability of the “Artic Traffic” label in the light theme.

On the technical front, compilation errors related to CMake 4.0 Release Candidates and a recent update to Pipewire on Linux have been fixed.
