Install Azahar on Raspberry Pi

Azahar

Azahar is an open-source 3DS emulator project based on Citra.

It was created from the merging of PabloMK7's Citra fork and the Lime3DS project, both of which emerged shortly after Citra was taken down.
The goal of this project is to be the de-facto platform for future development.

IMPORTANT: You have to disable hardware shaders for playable performance:
Azahar Menu -> Emulation -> Configure -> Graphics -> Advanced -> Turn OFF Enable hardware shader

To run from menu: Games -> Azahar
To run from terminal: flatpak run org.azahar_emu.Azahar

Fortunately, Azahar is very easy to install on your Raspberry Pi in just two steps.

  1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Raspberry Pi.
  2. Use Pi-Apps to install Azahar.

Compatibility

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS, which is currently version Trixie.
Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
Azahar will only run on PiOS 64-bit. Pi-Apps will not let you install Azahar on PiOS 32-bit.
