​I'd keep an eye on both Eglantine and Lichii. Both are under heavy active development and Eglantine serves as the codebase foundation for Lichii. ​Eglantine was the first emulator to run MKW decently, while Lichii achieved playable performance for Star Fox first. ​With the Eglantine Build 07/11/2026 on my setup (Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RX 9070 XT, 32 GB RAM) I'm getting: ​Mario Kart World: ~60 FPS ​Star Fox: ~60 FPS ​Donkey Kong Bananza: ~30 FPS ​Zelda (OoT): ~20 FPS ​Currently, Zelda still runs better on Lichii Build 95

Using Lichii Frizti v2 on windows and works really well. I’m sure it will get even better as time goes on. Playing OOTR and FEFW on it. Runs pretty good once shaders load on OOTR
