Which Android Build Should I Pick?

The Android build has been split into two new download options, those being the vanilla and googleplay builds.

The vanilla version uses a new method of filesystem access which is significantly faster and more simple. As of Azahar 2125, Azahar uses the "raw UNIX FS access method" which greatly reduces stutter caused by Filesystem operations. For example, booting the home menu now takes 5 seconds (comparable to desktop times) instead of 30-45 seconds.

However, this method of filesystem access is not compliant with Google Play Store regulations and must be downloaded from the "Releases" page on Azahar's GitHub, https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/releases or from the website directly, https://azahar-emu.org/pages/download/.

The Google Play version is compliant with Google Play Store regulations, and uses the old SAF-based method. This build will not see the performance improvements present in the vanilla build.

Unless you have a particular reason to use the Google Play build or you are downloading the app from the Google Play Store, the vanilla version is recommended.
