I've always wanted to give back a little to the community I have always taken from, so here's my two cents. I forked Dekopon and added a bunch of tweaks from Tico's Azahar. Also sprinkled a bunch of my own changes on top to get so many speed upgrades. I am happy to also share that some of those changes are also ported over to Dekopon (and hopefully Tico soon).
My end-goal with Raikopon is to make a feature-rich, super-fast 3DS emulator that doesn't care as much about accuracy as it does about performance at stock clock speeds.
Features:
- All of the features inside Dekopon are present here.
- FMV video speed hack or movie speed hack - allows you to play games with videos inside them at a nice performance. You can adjust the "Movie CPU Throttle" value to your liking. LDZ likes 25-35%, while Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon like 50-60%. You can experiment and see what works for you.
- On-the-fly cheats addition, removal, enable/disable without needing a PC in any way.
- A more refined UX for Settings and in-game. This is actively being worked on, I want to make it look and feel good without losing performance overhead.
- Tons of improvements ported over from Tico-Azahar - thanks Dan.
- Library menu error UI updates to show you if your legitimate ROM backup is valid or not.
- Proper shader compiling at the start of each game to get the best gameplay experience.
- Crash fixes for several games that are not yet a part of Dekopon (hopefully will be added soon).
- And many many more updates coming soon.
If you have any feature requests, feel free to share them here. I regularly update my fork as soon as I get time from my day job. If its within my power, I will definitely get it done.

ROMs default location is /switch/dekopon/roms/.
You can use Dekopon and Raikopon at the same time, since both share the same tree - I just have a bunch of modifications done on top, and I plan to keep it that way for the sake of simplicity unless our work diverges a lot.
All formats that Azahar natively supports are supported here too.
Different screen layouts can be cycled through via pressing the right stick.
Pressing '+' on a game shows information about it, including updates and dlc.
Enjoy!
