----------Changelog-------

Lemon-Project v1.2.0

New:

Lemon FG, Lemon's own frame generation. Built in, nothing to install, and no Lossless Scaling code in it: turn it on in Settings → Graphics → Frame generation, for all games or one. A new Engine option picks Lemon FG (default) or Lossless Scaling, which only runs with your own copy of Lossless.dll. The FPS counter shows which one is working, and Lemon FG has its own lemon icon. The setup screen explains that Lemon FG is included instead of only offering to load the DLL.

Accurate is the default GPU mode again in Lemon: the optimizations in this version pay for most of its cost (measured: TOTK 48.1 → 47.9 fps on an AYN Odin 3, BOTW 16.6 → 17.0 fps on a Galaxy S24 Ultra). Lemon Lite and Lemon Lite & Spoofed keep Fast.

One lighter wait for the GPU.

Lemon still waits for the GPU before a game reuses what was drawn, so the flickering fixed in 1.1 stays fixed, but it no longer drains the GPU when the game waits for work that is already queued (Garfield: GPU thread stalls from ~156 to ~13 ms per second). The GPU Fence Behavior option is gone: there is nothing to set.

Mali GPUs: BC4 and BC5 textures are recompressed to EAC on the GPU, half the memory they took before. The option is now called Recompress BCn textures.

Lemon-Ade v0.0.7 bundled in Lemon: it fixes shaders that v0.0.5 and v0.0.6 compiled wrong. Users of the bundled v0.0.6 move to it automatically.

Fixed:

Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 on Mali (and any GPU without BCn textures): pink or black Inklings and missing button text. The games copy compressed textures as raw blocks; Lemon now keeps the original blocks for those copies and decodes them on the GPU.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on Adreno: no more spikes over the characters or flickering lights. Adreno runs a geometry shader once per vertex it outputs, so its memory writes repeated; now only the first copy of each triangle writes. Thanks to the report in GitHub issue #7.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe connects to Nextendo Network again (error 2306-0502): 32-bit games that hash with the CPU's SHA-1 instructions got wrong results.

TOTK: the grass stays without any option. The Use reactive flushing setting is gone.

Splatoon 3 loads faster (about 100 s → 70 s on an AYN Odin 3 with Lemon-Ade): a huge shader is translated once per session instead of once per pipeline.

The in-game overlay keeps Lemon's yellow theme instead of turning purple, and its text stays readable with the new interface.

The game list no longer rescans all your folders every time you leave a game's page.

Tapping a game twice quickly no longer crashes the app.

The settings screen no longer writes thousands of "Could not find setting" lines to the log.

Question Why is xbox360 emulation hard.

52 Upvotes

I get that ps3 emulation is hard because of the cell broadband engine cpu architecture introduced by sony in 2006 but the xbox360 had a cpu similar to pc, then why is xbox360 emulation still hard. Is it because the emulator isn't matured?

Showcase Turnip Z release v0.2.0: Major Improvements in Stability, Compatibility, and Frame Pacing (Snapdragon 865, Adreno 650 | Retroid Pocket 5, Flip 2, Mini)

Thumbnail
gallery
168 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Here is a new release of Turnip Z featuring significant improvements over v0.1.2.

 

The main focus of this version: eliminating random crashes and making gameplay noticeably smoother.

 

Download: https://github.com/AlexSanz0902/turnip-sd865-z

 

Improvements:

  • Fixed random crashes & freezes: Demanding scenes and transient lag spikes in supported titles no longer crash back to the Eden home screen or trigger full device reboots.
  • Improved frame pacing: Reduced micro-stuttering and irregular latency spikes across various titles.
  • Expanded compatibility: Games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now boot and run.

 

Tests:

  • Super Mario Odyssey: Demonstrates frame-pacing improvements compared to v0.1.2, with zero crashes recorded over a 30-minute test session. You should be able to start a new save file and clear the first two kingdoms in a single sitting without crashing.

 

  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: While v0.1.2 caused a full device crash, it now boots and runs without crashing (though minor-to-moderate graphical glitches are currently present). Tested for 30 minutes with zero crashes; you should be able to start a new game and complete the first main story quest in one run.

 

Benchmark & Screenshots:

The screenshots compare an identical scene in Zelda: BotW running at 1.25x docked resolution (1350p) on a vanilla profile (no mods, cheats, or custom Eden settings applied) and after shader compilation across three drivers:

  • Turnip v24.3.0 R9v2: 21.2 FPS
  • Turnip v26.3.0-R6: 23.7 FPS
  • Turnip Z v0.2.0: 30.0 FPS

(For everyday gameplay, sticking to 1.0x docked / 1080p is recommended.)

Known Issues:

  • Minor, occasional visual bugs in Super Mario Odyssey.
  • Moderate graphical glitches and artifacts in Zelda: BotW. These specific rendering issues will be targeted in v0.2.1.

 

This will be the final release for a little while. For the next update, I will take some time to build a compatibility spreadsheet (.csv) and address visual bugs across at least 10–15 titles without compromising current performance, stability, or compatibility.

FAQ

What is the recommended setup?

It was validated on Eden v0.2.0-rc2 with the Snapdragon 865 GPU overclocked to 905 MHz. Keep in mind that individual games may still require specific emulator settings, custom resolution scaling, or workarounds to run properly—that is separate from driver behavior. Devices running stock Adreno 650 clocks will see proportionally lower performance.

 

Can I use this outside of Eden (Winlator, GameHub, Vita3K, Azahar, Dolphin, etc.)?

Not recommended. Do not use this outside of Eden. It was neither built nor tested for Windows translation layers or other emulator platforms. Running this in Winlator or Dolphin will likely trigger shader compilation errors or hard freezes.

 

Can I use it with other Switch emulators?

Not recommended. It has only been validated on Eden v0.2.0-rc2. Other emulators or forks have not been tested and may introduce crashes or visual bugs.

 

Does it work on other devices?

It was built specifically for the Adreno 650 (Snapdragon 865). While it should work across other Snapdragon 865 devices than RP5, other Adreno GPU architectures are completely untested.

 

Note on texture filtering:

Anisotropic filtering is disabled and mipmaps are simplified to save memory bandwidth, so distant textures or acute surface angles might look slightly softer.

 

What should I do if a crash occurs?

The driver automatically generates a diagnostic log file named turnip_sd865.txt inside Eden's folder under Android/data. Please attach this log to an issue on the GitHub repository.
