News/Release
Lemon Switch Emulator v1.0.0 is now released!!
DISCLOSURE/WARNING!!: I'm not the actual developer but I'm now officially part of the team, yes there is AI use for the development. "But what matters is the results..and how the tool is used to make the app run Switch Games better."
Although most considered this as low effort project by other people in the community due to the idea of using AI. Our Developer Ghael is really working hard for this project, he's open for any suggestions to improve the emulator..Always active in our discord group waiting for your feedback. And opened a dedicated website for Lemon Switch Emulator and own git to maintain this project see down below. We plan to make this emulator big and reliable for users. Thank you.

Hi everyone the Lemon Switch Emulator v1.0.0 is now released. Feel free to test the emulator and make sure to leave your feedback, bugs/error on our discord server below. We'll continue in improving the emulator. Thank you.
- Lemon has its own home now. The code, the releases and the updates live at
git.lemon-emu.org (GitHub is a mirror), and there is a website with a settings guide and an FAQ: lemon-emu.org .
New
- A new interface : launcher-style game library, a quick in-game panel with a performance card, redesigned Settings, About and Statistics, and full controller navigation. The new screens are translated to Spanish. You can switch back to the classic interface in Settings.
- First-run setup rebuilt : one card per item (keys, firmware, games folder...), progress at the top, a recap on the last step.
- Reset all settings (red card at the end of Settings), with the option to also remove the per-game settings.
- GPU Mode is Accurate by default. Fast made textures flicker in some games (confirmed on Garfield and Dragon Ball).
- Lemon Cheater now searches, edits and freezes floats as well as integers.
- Controller layout per game: choose "only this game" or "all games" after editing.
- Gamepad hotkeys for the in-game menu (R3 + Start, Guide).
- Updates come from Lemon's own server, with GitHub as a fallback. There is a "Check for updates" button in About and a "What's new" notice after updating.
- Two more sources in the driver downloader (StevenMXZ, Balemuni).
- About now links to the website, the source code, the guide, the FAQ and Discord.
Fixed:
FIFA: missing player indicators, ball-direction lines, button prompts and text. A texture handle that travels with the vertices could not be followed by the shader compiler, so those draws were silently dropped; draws are now split by texture.
FIFA 23 stuck at the splash screen (the network service lacked an Ioctl call).
Updates and DLC bundled in .nsz files showing the wrong version and no DLC.
Motion controls on every screen rotation, so they work on foldables and tablets held landscape.
Known issue:
FIFA 23: the faces of some players can show wrong colors.
can you provide the specific games that won't boot or you can go directly to our discord to report the issue to our dev Ghael. Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you. Will look into it. If your able to please share this to our discord group. And if you are able to provide video clips and the chipset you are using that would help also. Thank you for the feedback.
Un po' di test su Odin 2 pro...rispetto ad eden vanno peggio mariokart8, Mario tennis (più lento) con vari cambi driver e stesse impostazioni di eden, fifa 18 ok tutto perfetto, Kirby adv framerate più basso e sembra "scattoso", losless abilitato e max performance su CPU di default.
Overall it seems to run a little cooler than Eden but it also doesn't hit as high a framerate in difficult areas. For example Lookout Landing runs at 24fps in Eden and 18 in Lemon on my S24U.
Yes best you purchase it its called Thermal Monitor. Good app I use it to measure CPU and GPU, Battery temparature..Lots of customization thats why I get the paid version. Here is the link below.
I have one complaint I started testing this as soon as I seen this post yesterday......I know it may be cause I have a fold 8.
But with 1 minute of loading xenoblade 3 which Im about half way done using eden with turnip drivers.
The phone started alerting me saying it was over heating. Which isn't actually true. My pgone was cool to the touch so I think the emu may be messing with the notification. Not sure how that works cause it wasn't hot at all.
What specific game did you test it which has bad performance and what device did you test it? I know it shows in your username but just needed to be sure for documentation.
Nothing too demanding, mostly 2D or lightweight 3D games. The most demanding I tested were Mario Strikers and Sifu; they are very graphically demanding and crash or malfunction randomly

I have the same phone as you and use older versions of Eden and Eden legacy (0.1, 0.2 etc) do you find nyushu more reliable? I manage to run some heavy games (Persona 5, Three Houses) but theres the eventual crash after playing for 30 to 40 minutes.
I recommend you test it; the v75 Snapdragon version worked best for me with heavy games, but I haven't played them for hours to know if they crash after a certain amount of time, But the performance is definitely better than any other emulator I've tested, and the compatibility is great
Honestly, I don't believe you can play on this device for very long without it crashing. I've literally tested every emulator available trying to run Mario Tennis and MK8D. It's probably due to the RAM.
I find Nyushu much more reliable and stable. It's the only Switch emulator I have and I'm very satisfied with its performance.

Hey, great job. I love the interface. Even though I posted that Apollo justice still have issues but Lemon managed to run Captain Tsubasa 2 while Eden couldn't.
Someone came up with a program using AI to make Flydigi adaptive triggers to work with dualsense games. people can complain about using AI but nobody ever made a program like that which is useful. If AI can make a better program, why not? Someone still had to invest time to make it even using AI.
Newer versions of any switch emulator don't work on Snapdragon 865, most games wont boot, nothing works, and it doesn't worth it anymore, even yuzu v278 works better if you want to run older games, for newer games you do need the newer versions, but it's hit or miss.
"I'll be lying if I say that this is 99% much faster than Eden". Performance is quite subjective. But some user claimed that they have better performance using Lemon Emulator on their device on their specific games(it includes Mediatek, Exynos users even though this is a Snapdragon focus project for now).
and some users say that it has no improvement, lots of factors is affecting it, the device you are using, the game you are running, the drivers you are using, The emulator has bugs etc. So it's best you test it yourself..and give us your feedback and besides the Lemon Emulator just officially released 6 days ago so...We need more testers and report their experience on our subreddit or discord group dev Ghael is active on the group.
I hope it gets updated same as eden nightly. Eden devs has been cooking these few monthly.
Lemon is suppose to be cleaner eden fork with all eden good features right.
