What Lichii is, and what it is not

A fork with a long family tree

Lichii builds on Eglantine, Eden, yuzu and Sudachi and is licensed under GPL-3.0. Releases up to build 65 still carried the Eglantine nx2 name before the project became Lichii. Every release is an automatic build of the nx2 branch.

Bring your own games and keys

No games, keys or firmware come with Lichii. The README asks you to use only games and system files you obtained legally, and to back up your saves before you try an experimental build.

Your Eden data stays put

Lichii reuses the existing Eden and Eglantine data folders and settings. It does not move or delete saves, configuration or shader caches, so switching from Eden keeps your progress where it was.

Litchi, Lichi or Liichi?

Searches for "litchi emulator", "lichi emulator", "liichi" and "liichi emulator" all mean this project. The name is spelled Lichii, with two i's at the end, and its only home is the zortos293/Lichii repository on GitHub. Websites built around the other spellings are run by third parties, not by the Lichii developers, so never take an installer from them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lichii free and where do I download it?

Yes. Lichii is open source under GPL-3.0 and costs nothing. The project states that it has no download site other than its GitHub releases page at github.com/zortos293/Lichii/releases. Any site asking you to pay, sign up or install a separate downloader is not the project.

Should I pick the PGO or the standard build?

Take the PGO build first. The build 117 release notes call it the recommended and most stable download; the Windows PGO zip adds a clang-cl ThinLTO profile trained on Ocarina of Time. The standard build stays available for anyone whose system has problems with the PGO package.

Can Lichii run on Android or a Steam Deck?

None of the fifteen published releases includes an Android APK, so any Lichii APK comes from someone else. Steam Deck runs Linux on an x86_64 CPU, so the Linux x86_64 AppImage is the matching package; ARM Linux machines use the aarch64 AppImage or tar.gz.

How do I check that my file is genuine?

Compare its SHA-256 checksum with the value in the receipt above. On Windows run Get-FileHash in PowerShell, on Linux run sha256sum and on macOS run shasum -a 256 on the file. If even one character differs, delete the file and download it again from GitHub.
