Answers to common questions about downloading and installing Lichii.
Select the Windows tab above, open the linked GitHub releases page, and choose the Windows ZIP package for your system. Build availability may change as new prereleases are published.
Download the complete ZIP file, extract it to a folder, and launch lichii.exe from the extracted directory. Do not open the program directly from inside the ZIP archive.
Yes. Lichii is an open-source emulator with public releases. There is no paid activation required to access the software.
Lichii is still experimental. Compatibility and performance depend on the game, hardware, graphics driver, emulator settings, and the particular build.
No. Lichii does not include games, firmware, or encryption keys. You must supply your own legally obtained files.
Choose an x86-64 or ARM64 package that matches your processor. AppImage packages bundle many dependencies; tar.gz archives use libraries installed on your system.
The release instructions specify glibc 2.39 or newer for AppImage builds. Check the current release notes for supported distributions and any changed requirements.
After downloading the correct AppImage, make it executable using chmod +x with its actual filename, then launch it. You may also enable executable permissions using your file manager.
Tarball packages depend on compatible system libraries, including Qt 6. Confirm that the required dependencies are installed and review the terminal output for missing libraries.
ARM64 builds have been published, but availability and compatibility depend on the release and hardware. Use the ARM64 download rather than the x86-64 package.
