WITH THANKS

Made possible by MeloNX.

Special thanks to Stossy (Stossy11) for creating MeloNX. Without his work, none of this would be possible.

LemoNX is a fork of MeloNX, built on Ryujinx. These are the people and projects credited in the app, whose work makes it possible.

The foundation

Stossy11 & MeloNX

Stossy11, the MeloNX team, and contributors created the iOS app this fork comes from: its SwiftUI interface, Metal view, JIT paths, and C# and Swift bridge. Stossy11 also created Melo-Controller, the touch controller and layout editor.

Online play

The emulator core
