# zortos293/Lichii > Experimental Nintendo Switch 2 emulator in C++, a fork of Eglantine with memory leak fixes, speed improvements and support for more games. - Magnitude: 5.7 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 563 total · +134 stars measured 2026-11-03, 00:31–16:21 UTC, ≈ 192 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Games & graphics · Language: C++ · License: GPL-3.0 · Created: 2026-10-31 · Last push: 2026-11-03 - GitHub: https://github.com/zortos293/Lichii · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/zortos293/Lichii ## Useful for - Run Mario Kart World on a PC under Windows, Linux or macOS - Build the emulator from source using the General Build Guide - Check whether a specific game boots with the current fork build ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 00:31–16:21: 429 → 563 stars (+134). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +192 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 3 days old and already has 563 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #34. - About 21 forks a day — people are taking the code. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 51 - Issues and pull requests: 33 - Watchers: 6 - Average over the last week: 172 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 6 - Latest release: build-65 (2026-11-02) ## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-31 … 2026-11-03: 52, 264, 182, 134 ## Magnitude by day, last 3 days 11-01 5.1, 11-02 6.4, 11-03 5.8 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #34 ## Similar by description 1. **Djihads80/Eglantine** — 6.5 · Peaking · Games & graphics · C++ · +383 stars measured 2026-11-03, 00:30–16:21 UTC, ≈ 551 by evening Eglantine is a free, open-source Nintendo Switch 2 emulator written in C++, derived from Eden, Yuzu and Sudachi.

Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/soniciso1/ps5-linux-loader.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
