Citron NEO

Releases

Version notes and checksums live on GitHub. This guide only links the citron-neo organization — no mirrors. Impersonation and fake download pages exist; if it is not under github.com/citron-neo/, do not use it.

New to Citron NEO? Prefer a tagged emulator release first; use CI nightlies when you want the latest per-platform build.

How to pick a file

  1. Open CI builds (nightly, per platform) or Emulator releases (dated tags) below.
  2. Open the release → Assets.
  3. Download the file for your OS and CPU (e.g. Windows x64 .zip, Linux x86_64 .AppImage or .tar.zst).
  4. For the newest automated build, start from CI — each platform has its own “Continuous Build” entry.

CI (nightly)

Continuous builds for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. Updated frequently; pick the platform row that matches your machine.

Emulator (tagged)

Dated releases with changelog text. Fewer surprises than tracking every nightly.

Roll back a bad update

On CI or emulator releases, open an older entry; re-download the asset for your platform. Extract to a new folder or back up the old one. Use the in-app menu to open the user data folder when a working build runs (often under File) so you know what to back up.

Why we don’t list every version

A static mirror list would go stale. GitHub is the source for tags, Assets, and notes.

Before you upgrade

  • Read the release note for breaking changes (e.g. shader cache invalidation).
  • Keep the previous archive to revert.
  • Try a new build in a separate folder for critical games.
