Donkey Kong Bananza on Lichii
Donkey Kong Bananza came out on 17 Jul 2025. Search interest in a PC emulator is high. The public Lichii record on 7 Nov 2026 is small: five reports. The newest one is Playable. The median label is Playable.
Catalog Best result reads RX 9000 · Vulkan · Linux. The older RX 7000 SteamOS row names two frame rates by area; SteamOS alone does not identify the device.
Five reports, all Vulkan, all build 93
The newest RX 9000 report says stable gameplay with a low frame rate, without supplying a numeric rate. I will not stretch the 20/30 fps pair onto the RX 9000 row, and I will not invent a 60 fps target. Build 70 notes once said the game "runs well, though not at a locked 60 fps yet" after a cutscene-crash fix and less command-page draining. That sentence is a release note, not a measurement from these five rows.

Fixes that landed, and bugs that stayed
Build 83 makes the game wait for the current frame by default so a buffer is not reused too early. Build 93 does not list a Bananza-specific repair. An older row records an RTX 30 crash on that build.
Issue 202, open in the research set, covers missing terrain on builds 70 and 75. Issue 78, closed, was a black rectangle on AMD. Issue 30, closed, was Donkey Kong turning black when a banana is found. I list closed issues as history. I do not upgrade them into "fixed on build 93" without a report that says so.
People comparing Eden-family emulators should know this page only covers Lichii public reports. I have no same-PC match against Eden or Eglantine for Bananza, so I do not rank them.
FAQ
Does Bananza boot on build 93?
Three rows say Playable, one says Runs with uneven fps, and an older row says the app crashes on an RTX 30. Boot is not uniform.
What backend do the reports use?
Vulkan on all five.
Is there a best settings list?
No. Five rows are not enough to crown a GPU accuracy or resolution setting.
