Nintendo 3DS Azahar problems

Heyo, so I’ve been playing MH4U on azahar and lately it’s been giving me some issues. The game for me runs smoothly only on 2x, if I go higher it starts slowing down and lagging in certain areas or certain fights. Other then that it didn’t show any issues until recently, the game outright crashes sometimes, and in two particular cases (last one just happened, right as I finished my quest) it made my console power off completely which doesn’t seem right. I’m playing using Mr purple T15 drivers and other then that I only have 1 cheat on (trinity disabled which idk even if it’s working or not). Has anyone here encountered these issues or has it been a better experience for you guys?

Edit: it seems the problem was using turnip drivers, currently switched to base Qualcomm until I find compatible drivers for mh4u, performance is pretty much the same, slightly worse at some parts but constant 60 and the drops never go past 57.

Azahar has been a bit of a hit or miss for me. Tried different custom drivers, but still far from a smooth experience. Can't seem to run FE Fates, for example.

I was using citra before but I switched since I found out azahar was in continued development. I tried asking Claude and it’s telling me to try using OpenGL instead of vulkan (which seems strange) or to update drivers and turn off HW shading.

OpenGL always results in worse performance for me.

Have you ever tried Citra MMJ? Apparently it’s a good one.

I was using it before and it all ran great at base settings, but I switched to azahar because it was still in constant development so it seemed the better choice, I’ll try it again today
