Linux
Linux packages come as an AppImage (self-contained, needs glibc 2.39 or newer: Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Debian 13, Arch) and a tar.gz (uses your system libraries, so Qt 6 and the usual libraries must be installed).
| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| amd64 | AppImage · tar.gz | AppImage · tar.gz | Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it |
| ARM (aarch64) | AppImage · tar.gz | AppImage · tar.gz |
Windows
Windows packages are in-place zip files: extract and run kitsu.exe, or eden-cli.exe from a terminal.
| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| amd64 / x86_64 (MSVC) | MSVC zip | Use if you run into graphical issues on other builds | |
| amd64 / x86_64 (MinGW) | PGO zip | Built with MinGW clang; bundles its own DLLs, no Visual C++ redistributable needed |
macOS
| Build Type | Standard | PGO (Recommended) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| arm64 (Apple Silicon) | zip | macOS 15 or newer. Not notarized: right-click and choose Open the first time, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine kitsu.app. eden-cli is inside the app, in Contents/MacOS |
The PGO builds are the same programs compiled with profile-guided optimization (clang plus Eglantine's profile); prefer them when your CPU supports it.
Before you play
Kitsu does not include games, keys or firmware, and never will: use only ones you dumped from hardware you own. Kitsu is not affiliated with Nintendo. Every package carries its licenses and a SOURCE.txt; the exact source of this build is 01a5477. More at kitsu.nexus.
Kitsu by Keeflo541, build 7 (de8eb2c)
Addresses
- Cinema / movies — video stays in sync with audio; refused decoder packets kept; AMD cooperative-matrix crash/blackout paths avoided.
- Cheats — no longer auto-load; open the Cheats panel to opt in; every cheat starts off.
- In-app updates — checks kitsu.nexus and shows notes before install.
- Tears of the Kingdom — long sessions no longer drop to single-digit FPS (page-indexed Dynarmic invalidation).
- Switch 2 display — games see 1080p handheld / 4K docked.
- .nup DLC — add-ons inside bundles mount with the game.
- UI — settings scrolling/dropdowns, sakura home carousel, cleaner game menu.
