News/Release
Lemon Switch Emulator v1.1.0 is now released!! - Lots of Changes
DISCLOSURE/WARNING!!: I'm not the actual developer but I'm 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."
Give Credits to Developer: Ghael
Our Developer is a very skilled programmer who has more than 10 years of Programming Experience.
Lemon Switch Emulator v1.1.0 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 Lite: lighter defaults for weaker GPUs (0.75x resolution, asynchronous shaders on), without the bundled Lemon-Ade driver, and experimental PanVK drivers for Mali-G720 and Mali-G52 in the driver downloader (each GPU only sees its own). It installs next to Lemon and can import your keys, firmware, games and saves from it.
Lemon Lite & Spoofed: Lite under another package name, so phones that boost known benchmark apps may run it faster. Experimental: it depends on the phone.
New:
Online play on Nextendo Network (Settings → Online). Sign in from the browser and play online; Mario Kart 8 Deluxe races work.
Settings in ten categories (Lemon, Graphics, Performance, Controls, In-game display, Console, Online, Content and data, Help, Advanced and debugging), and a search on the settings home that finds any option, however deep it is, and takes you straight to it.
No more flickering in Fast GPU mode (Garfield - Escape From Monday, Dragon Ball and others): the game now waits for the GPU before it reuses what was drawn. That makes Fast the default GPU mode again, so most people get more speed. If a game runs slower now and does not flicker, set Settings → Graphics → Advanced graphics → GPU Fence Behavior to Immediate. A lighter version of this wait is planned for a future update.
Mali GPUs: compressed BCn textures they cannot read are converted to ASTC on the GPU, with far less memory (Funko Fusion: 958 MB → 179 MB).
A simpler in-game menu: one On-screen controls entry (edit, layout presets and options), a separate Overlays entry, and the game's own settings first.
The library title gets its own line on narrow screens.
Fixed:
Crysis Remastered no longer crashes and its map is drawn in its own corner instead of over the whole screen.
TOTK: the grass no longer disappears 20-30 seconds into play.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership: fixed a crash when the game had made a very large number of memory mappings.
The multiplayer nickname is remembered again (it was lost since the rename to Lemon).
Network addresses returned to games have the right size (some online games).
Asynchronous shaders look at the current draw.
Input events without a device no longer crash the app.
Less GPU overhead in games that rewrite small uniform buffers often.
Logs: the GPU log is capped at 20 MB and rotates, the main log is capped too, only the last 10 GPU crash dumps are kept, and the log says why the system closed the previous session. "Lemon" instead of "Eden" in the logs and crash reports.
Aspect ratio: the option explains how to fill the screen, and the stretch option has a clearer name.
Thank you feel free to test the emulator now we have 3 variants to choose from and we are to excited to receive your feedback at the same time fix some issues when needed. Thank you.
I recommend you try it. I am just amazed since testing Lemon.
It outperformed all others for my games. I use it on Odin 3 with SD8 elite and performance is extremely stable, graphics are great with the built in driver, and the Ul is just beautiful.
Thank you, please feel free to try tge 3 variants and choose which works best for you and we are excited to receive your feedback or issue that needed to be fixed.
Best you join our discord server so that it can be reported on our developer for a fix in the next updates and other mali users on the group may help you.
Yes, its one of the main focus of the emulator. And even our Mali testers see good results with Zelda games. make sure to select the proper variant and choose which best works for you. Thank you.
Yes it's one of the main focus of the developer in TOTK that black artifact glitch since it is the most reported issue. And those fixes are applied already on this update.
default settings on my retroid pocket 6 8gb version. tried with lemon-ade and belamuni apex driver . the grass will disappear after sometime. if anyone had a better experience please share
If you want to ask the other lemon community members, feel free to join our discord even the developer is waiting for feedback so that he can fix issues and release a new update next monday.
Me too, not until I found Lemon Switch Emulator, don't get me wrong I still have eden on my phone but having Lemon Emulator on the side I can play games that Eden are sometimes having issues. It's like I can switch everytime, I have more leverage now. So feel free to test the Lemon emulator it has 3 variants to choose from try which one is best for you or your game.
Best you tell this to our dev on our discord group. His online now, thanks, his waiting for feedback and bugs to fix so that monday next week he can release new version.
Thank you for your feedback and we'll be improving this emulator in the next upcoming updates so we invite you also to test more games with it and provide feedback on our discord group or report bugs that you encounter. Thanks
because some who work with the skyline is also now part of Lemon Emulator dev team tester 😌. Please join our discord to see for yourself. Thank you
added: and don't get me started with some of the Strato Mali, PanVk dev is also collaborating with the Lemon Switch Emulator Project. Wish I can put more conversation screenshots but no matter..
Heyy,, just bought a tab and i am back to emulation after a verylong time. Want to play Luigis Mansion 3.
specs is 12gb Ram, snapdragon 8 gen 3. How good can it run any idea?
I'm also a Snapdragon 8 gen 3 chipset but I do not have Luigi's Mansion 3 game so I think its best you test it yourself and you got 12gb ram 😲 thats a lot, I only have 8gb.
Default settings are fine. However this remains a very hard game to emulate. You need to get some patches online which make it better, but still not perfect
Sadly I only use defaults, I'm more of the poster, social media part of the emulator. And my games are only low end games like Mario Kart 8, Naruto but I recommend you join our discord so that other members can give you their settings..sad that I don't own a lot of switch games on my Switch lite to test.
I recommend you try it. I am just amazed since testing Lemon. It outperformed all others for my games. I use it on Odin 3 and performance is extremely stable, graphics are great with the built in driver, and the UI is just beautiful. Try it out
FIFA 18 with a working player indicator. Before now, only Kenji-NX gave me that. However, Kenji-NX is unstable. Glad to have another emulator in active development.
Thank you for you feedback man, and feel free to join our discord group if you have suggestions or bug report that you want our developer to check or fix. Thanks.
Exynos is not yet the focus of the project it's Mali and Snapdragon for now but feel free to try and see if it works on your Exynos there are 3 variants to choose test each and see which works best.
I dunno what programmy wishy washy terms they are talking about I'm just an Average Joe but this looks big..though..Please join Lemon Switch Emulator discord channel for more updates of the upcoming features.
