Lichii Emulator: Free Switch & Switch 2 Emulation for PC

# Lichii Emulator: choose a build, then check the game

Lichii is an experimental Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 emulator for Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon Macs. A useful first step is to confirm the source and match a package to your operating system rather than assuming every game will work. The Lichii Emulator guide gathers build choices, game reports and setup help in one place.

Choose the right package

On the Lichii Emulator Download page, filter the official release files by operating system, architecture and build type. Windows x86-64 users can compare standard and PGO archives; the listed files link to the project's GitHub release assets. Keep the release tag and filename with your notes, and verify the checksum when a trusted hash is published.

Read a report before you play

The Lichii Emulator Game Compatibility database lets you search by title, status, GPU and build. A report marked “boots” is not a promise of stable play; compare the recorded hardware and issue details before choosing a build. Performance and graphics may vary across games and drivers.

Set up and troubleshoot

Extract a Windows archive into a writable folder before launching lichii.exe; use the Linux or macOS instructions for those systems. The Lichii Emulator Setup & Troubleshooting guide covers initial graphics and controller settings as well as common launch errors. Bring your own legally obtained games and required system files; they are not supplied with the emulator.

For source code, release history and issue tracking, consult the Lichii Emulator GitHub repository guide and follow its official repository link. Experimental software changes rapidly, so recheck current release notes and game-specific reports before upgrading.
