Settings the notes ask for

  • 12GB DRAM: turn on the 12GB DRAM memory setting in the emulator (2.5.0 notes).
  • 32 GB page file or swap: make sure Windows has at least 32 GB of page file, or Linux at least 32 GB of swap.
  • Only one frame-rate lock at a time: the notes say in capitals “PLEASE ONLY USE 1 DYNAMIC/30 LOCK AT A TIME”. Pick either Dynamic FPS or the 30 fps lock for a game, not both.
  • AMD: the 2.7.7 notes say not to bother on AMD GPUs for that build. On AMD, compare Orchid.

If your PC runs out of memory with an error like “Failed to allocate … backing memory”, the page file is the first thing to check; the same applies to Lichii (see requirements). Controller setup is covered in the controller guide.

How to avoid fake PokeDinner downloads

  • Release files are on git.eden-emu.dev/Franseven/PokeDinner-a-Eglantine-Fork/releases. File names and bytes match the table above.
  • There is no PokeDinner APK or iPhone app.
  • Any download that bundles Pokopia, keys or firmware did not come from the repository.

Recommended controllers for Lichii (SDL3 & gyro)

Lichii reads gamepads through SDL3 (including HID command 300 motion). Standard Xbox pads have no gyroscope, so games that use motion aiming or tilt steering (such as Mario Kart World or Ocarina of Time) need a DualSense or aSwitch-style pad, while TMR/Hall sticks prevent drift:

Common questions

What is PokeDinner?

PokeDinner is a Switch 2 emulator fork by Franseven, hosted on the Eden project’s Git server at git.eden-emu.dev/Franseven/PokeDinner-a-Eglantine-Fork. Its description: “A fork based on Eglantine which is based on Eden. With commits from different forks all around, primary focus is Pokopia but other may also work.”

Which PokeDinner version should I download?

For Pokémon Pokopia, Donkey Kong Bananza and Splatoon Raiders, 2.5.0 (November 3, 2026): it is the newest release with Windows, Linux and macOS files and has the Raiders and DK fixes. 2.7.7 is Windows-only and only adds initial Ocarina of Time support; its own notes say “stuff is broken” and other games may be broken and untested.

How much memory does PokeDinner need?

The 2.5.0 notes say to have at least 32 GB of page file (Windows) or swap (Linux) and to turn on the 12GB DRAM setting in the emulator.

Why does PokeDinner run at the wrong speed?

The 2.5.0 notes ask you to use only one Dynamic FPS or 30 FPS lock at a time. Turning on more than one at once can fight over the game’s timing. For Donkey Kong Bananza the notes also say performance is weak and timing speed is rubberbanding for now.

Does PokeDinner work on AMD graphics cards?

The 2.7.7 notes say “if you on AMD GPU don’t even bother” for that Ocarina of Time build. The community fork guide riyadhHDA/wichforks reports the 2.5.0 30 FPS option as a recent Donkey Kong Bananza result on AMD. For AMD in general, see Orchid.

Is PokeDinner on GitHub?

The releases are on the Eden Git server (Forgejo/Gitea), not GitHub. Orchid’s README mentions a GitHub mirror at Apollo422/PokeDinner, but the release files on this page all come from git.eden-emu.dev.

Should I open issues for 2.7.7?

No. The 2.7.7 notes say “do not open issues” and that the code will be public with a stable release later.

Does PokeDinner include games, keys or firmware?

No. The downloads are the emulator only. Use your own game and system files; this site does not link to or explain how to obtain them.
