However, I do believe Azahar can get some optimisations, particularly using a cached interpreter. I’ve seen some JIT-less 3DS emulators still run better than this and they still used cached interpreters. Especially with the rise of JIT-less Wii U emulators that are already delivering incredible results even on my A15 iPhone. So appreciate that you’re being honest about the lack of JIT, and yes I’m aware App Store policies don’t allow JIT, but I believe that you could optimise the interpreter to be a cached interpreter if not already one, and just test it on some more devices, this will make your app viable to more devices. **Developer response:** Hey there, thanks so much for the kind words! Unfortunately without JIT, we cannot do many more optimisations and performance mode is the best you will get. Older devices cannot handle 3DS emulation at full speed since apple doesn’t allow any app to utilise JIT. ### 5/5 — cheat 되게해주세요 *2026-08-22* cheat cheat 방밥 알라냈어요 ——— delta처럼 패드의 저장 버튼으로 쉽게 퀵저장이 되게 만들어 주세요. 제발요. 게임패드 버튼을 설정할 수있는 기능도 넣어주세요. ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ 스킨 삭제는 어떻게 하는건가요? 게임 삭제처럼 삭제가 안되네요 ——————— 다른 어플보다 최고입니다. 멈춤 현상이 전혀 없습니다. 부드럽게 잘 움직입니다. 앱내 구매도 없습니다. 단지 2달러 기부입니다. 기분좋게 기부 할 수 있습니다. 그것은 당신의 선택입니다. **Developer response:** 감사합니다 ———————————— 죄송합니다, 지금은 스킨을 삭제할 수 있는 옵션이 없습니다 😅 우리는 나머지 의견들을 고려할 것이며, 감사합니다! ### 1/5 — Not working on iPhones *2026-08-21* Crashes instantly after starting a game. **Developer response:** It definitely works on iPhones, please join the discord server for troubleshooting steps ### 5/5 — Omg I love it! *2026-08-20* So I got the rom called Hatsune Miku project mirai dx for 3ds and it works so well! ### 5/5 — God *2026-08-20* Aplicativo muito bom no começo dá alguns bugs mas é bom recomendo👍🏻 ### 4/5 — 텍스트 입력 오류 *2026-08-17* 글자를 입력하려고 하면 키보드는 안 뜨고 갑자기 AZAHAR라는 텍스트가 입력됩니다. 나머진 다 좋은대 저 부분이 살짝 아쉽네요 ### 3/5 — What? *2026-08-12* Well, i have new soup 2 as a rom, but it will not load for some reason.
