Azahar emulates the 3DS system configuration that a game reads when it starts—the same values you would find in the real console’s System Settings application. Changing these settings affects how games present their menus, which downloadable content they can access, what language text appears in, and how the internal clock behaves. Open Emulation → Configure → System to adjust them.Documentation Index

System settings
New 3DS mode
Enable New 3DS mode tells Azahar to emulate a New Nintendo 3DS XL instead of the original model. New 3DS mode enables:- The second analog nub (C-Stick) and ZL/ZR shoulder buttons
- Additional RAM available to New 3DS–exclusive and enhanced titles
- The faster New 3DS CPU clock speed
Region
The Region dropdown controls which regional variant of the 3DS hardware Azahar reports to games. This affects region locking, regional content, and which firmware features are available.| Value | Region |
|---|---|
| Auto-select | Azahar picks a region based on the loaded game’s region code |
| JPN | Japan |
| USA | North America |
| EUR | Europe |
| AUS | Australia |
| CHN | China (iQue) |
| KOR | South Korea |
| TWN | Taiwan |
Language
The Language dropdown sets the system language reported to games. Note that when Region is set to Auto-select, the language may be overridden to match the detected region. Available languages:- Japanese (日本語)
- English
- French (français)
- German (Deutsch)
- Italian (italiano)
- Spanish (español)
- Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
- Korean (한국어)
- Dutch (Nederlands)
- Portuguese (português)
- Russian (Русский)
- Traditional Chinese (正體中文)
Sound output mode
Controls the audio output mode reported to games. Choose from Mono, Stereo, or Surround. Some games tailor their audio mix to this setting—for example, a surround mix adds positional audio channels. This corresponds to the audio output mode in 3DS System Settings.Username
The Username field sets the name displayed by games when they address the player. The 3DS allows up to 10 characters. Azahar uses this value wherever the console would display the Mii nickname.Birthday
Set the month and day of the emulated system’s birthday. Some games unlock birthday-specific content or greetings based on this value. Select the month from the first dropdown and the day from the second.Country
The Country dropdown sets the country code reported to games, which is separate from the Region setting. Some online-facing features and software use the country code rather than the region.Clock
System Clock
System Clock
The emulated 3DS clock follows your computer’s real-time clock. The time displayed in games and date-dependent events match the current real-world time. This is the default and the most practical setting.
Fixed Time
Fixed Time
You choose a specific date and time (in
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss format) that the emulated clock starts from at launch. The clock advances normally while the game runs but always resets to your chosen time on the next launch.Use this to reproduce time-dependent bugs, unlock time-gated in-game events, or test content that only appears on certain dates.Initial System Ticks
The 3DS hardware tick counter starts at a value on each boot. Some games use this value for random number seeding or anti-cheat fingerprinting.| Option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Random | Azahar picks a random starting tick value on each launch |
| Fixed | You specify an exact tick value via the Initial System Ticks Override field |
Play Coins
Play Coins are earned on a real 3DS by carrying it and logging steps. The Play Coins spinner lets you set the current coin count directly (0–300). Many games let you spend Play Coins to unlock items, bonus content, or minigames.Pedometer steps per hour
Sets the number of steps per hour the emulated pedometer reports (0–65,535). Some games react to step counts for streetpass bonuses or in-game currencies that rely on the pedometer.LLE applets
Use LLE applets (if installed)
Use LLE applets (if installed)
Runs the built-in 3DS system applets (keyboard, camera, friend list, etc.) using Low-Level Emulation from your dumped firmware, instead of Azahar’s HLE reimplementations. LLE applets behave more accurately but require firmware files from a real console.
Enable required LLE modules for online features
Enable required LLE modules for online features
Enables the specific LLE system modules needed for online multiplayer, eShop access, and related services. Turn this on if you are attempting to connect to Azahar’s network features and need accurate module behaviour.
3GX plugin loader
The Enable 3GX plugin loader checkbox allows the emulator to load.3gx plugins—native code that modifies game behaviour at runtime, similar to game mods. Allow applications to change plugin loader state permits games themselves to enable or disable the loader during execution.
Real Console Unique Data
If you have a real 3DS, you can import its unique cryptographic identity files into Azahar. This enables features that require a genuine console identity, such as certain online services.| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| OTP | One-time programmable data unique to each console |
| SecureInfo_A/B | Region and serial number data |
| LocalFriendCodeSeed_A/B | Friend code seed used to derive your friend code |
| movable.sed | SD card encryption key |
These files contain data unique to your physical console. Treat them as sensitive credentials—do not share them.
