### 4/5 — Another point about the JIT inquiry

*2026-08-24*

I appreciate your honesty in saying that it is still slower than JIT because it has to use an interpreter. 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.

### 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. It just crashes! So, 3 stars, Good emulation tool overall! Just hope this gets fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello fix fix fix fix!!!, please join our discord server for troubleshooting steps :) we do not support .zip or .cia files so that may be the first place to check!

### 3/5 — works great but…

*2026-08-03*

this runs .nds and .cci files amazingly (although i still prefer delta for nds for no particular reason really), but there’s no .cia file support :( still i prefer it much over manic for 3ds because manic runs horribly on my phone!!

### 3/5 — I’m giving this app three stars because I had very mixed feelings about it

*2026-07-07*

The app an emulator itself is fine. The UI is great. My issue comes in with the settings most of the settings when you change them it just revert back to normal when you open up a game please fix.

### 3/5 — No .cia or .zip files allowed?

*2026-06-16*

This might be a good emulator, but there are some problems. Why do you guys unsupport .cia and .zip files? Also, every game with a Mii just crashes for some reason, so you might need to add a Mii patch. If it’s OK, then you could be able to play any game with the Mii!

**Developer response:** Hello! We are working on bringing .cia to LunaDS soon however, .zip is not supported because it is not a dumping format for 3DS or DS games. A mii patch is also planned for a future update :)

### 2/5 — スキンを使うと十字ボタンおかしい

*2026-06-15*

できは良いと思います。
仮想キーを使った時に誤操作になることが多い。
特に3DSスキンで十字ボタンを使うと、別のボタンを押したにも関わらず、前に押したボタンの入力になることがよくある
製作者はちゃんとプレイなりテストなりするべき

### 4/5 — microphone no response

*2026-06-07*

microphone doesnot work

### 4/5 — ゲーム

*2026-05-20*

3dsのゲームをできるようにしてくれると嬉しい☺️

**Developer response:** 当社は3DSをサポートしております！それらは .3ds 形式であり、.zip や .7z ファイルではありません :)

### 4/5 — Good emulator but…

*2026-05-15*

I would really enjoy if you added keyboard functionality I’m not sure if azahar allows it but I would love to see it happen

### 1/5 — It sucks. The end.

*2026-07-17*

It can’t load ROMs. What the hell is the point of an emulator if it can’t load ROMs to emulate?

**Developer response:** Please join our discord server for troubleshooting steps. We only support .3DS files, not .cia or .zip. That would be the first place to check

### 1/5 — わざわざこんなの使わなくてもManic EMUでいい

*2026-07-14*

普通テストプレイしてりゃ気づくと思うがプレイ中、右上にちらつくアイコンが邪魔でしかない

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!
