Make a choice

Which Emulator Fits Your Needs?

Put your game first. A useful choice is one you can install, understand, and return to when you want another session.

1. Start with your game

Start with the project that has a useful report for your game and setup. Follow its issue discussion if an important problem remains.

2. Choose your starting route

Choose an available desktop package if you want a quick start; explore source builds if you want to work on the code.

3. Make it easy to switch back

Keep your current application and back up saves and configuration before testing the other project. Change one thing at a time so you can judge the experience.

Comparison FAQ

Comparison FAQ

Do both projects receive the same fixes at the same time?

A fix can arrive in one project before the other. Check each project's release notes for the version that includes it.

Can I move saves or settings between them?

Check both projects' migration guidance before copying anything. Back up the original data first and keep application folders separate while testing.

Does no Eglantine report mean a game is unsupported?

No. This page may not have a report for that game. Check Eglantine's own release notes and issue discussions.

Can I compare two Lichii builds instead?

Yes. Use the build comparison tool to choose two Lichii releases and explore their changes.
