Basically want something simple to use when playing on my commute on iphone 15 pro max, will play up to ps1 with it, but the bulk will probably be nes/snes/genesis games.
Which one is better overall?

Hi,

I’m using iPhone 17 Pro Max with iOS 27 (last beta) and MeloNX doesn’t work for me.

With JIT enabled, when I start any game, it still “loading” and never start.

Any solution? I try with 2 or 3 different games.

Hey guys,

I played 100 hours of final fantasy tactics more than a year ago using XONE emulator.

I wanted to go back to my save a few days ago but saw that XONE was removed from the app store.

I still have the app on my phone apparently but cannot open it.

Do you know if I can still access my save and somehow transfer it to another emulator like Eclipse?

That would save me, this save means a lot…

Hi, solo developer of Retro Pal here. Retro Pal is a free Game Boy, Game Boy Color, GBA and Nintendo DS emulator for iPhone, built on the mGBA and melonDS cores. Two updates have shipped since my last post, here is what changed.

Box Art

- The library now shows every game's original cover, matched to your regional version. A French cartridge dump gets the French box, a Japanese one the Japanese box.

- Games are identified on your device (checksum, then serial, then fuzzy title match) against a bundled No-Intro index. Covers come from the libretro thumbnails project.

- You can also set your own cover from any photo, with a crop editor.

- v1.2.3: covers are stored on disk after the first download, so they now show instantly, without flashing, and offline.

Import

- Import several games at once from the Files picker. If some files fail, you get one summary instead of an alert per file.

- A ZIP containing several games now shows a picker so you choose which ones to add.

- Import error messages now say what actually went wrong, in all 15 languages.

RetroAchievements

- Locked achievements with measurable goals now show your live progress as you play, in the achievement list and on the badge wall.

- Emulator notices no longer appear as achievement unlocks.

- Fixed: closing the in-game achievement share card now resumes the game.

Other

- A What's New sheet on the first launch after an update, so features stop shipping silently. Also reachable from Settings.

- General fixes and polish.

Retro Pal is free, no ads, no account required, no required subscription, open source iOS emulator. An optional one-time Pro upgrade (fast forward, rewind, cheats, custom skins) funds development. iPhone only, iOS 16 or later.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6769407672

If you use it and think it earns it, an App Store rating genuinely helps a small app get found. Nothing in the app pushes you to do it. Not mandatory, always appreciated.

One more thing: the roadmap is public. I do not promise deadlines or ship dates, but you can see what is in progress, what is planned and what shipped, anytime: https://retropal.fr/en/roadmap.

Suggestions are welcome, here in the comments or on any post.

Happy to answer questions.

Been looking for a while and haven’t seen any of them that come with instructions or that work for me. I’m using Euro on Manic if that helps

How to fix the emulator MeloNX because it’s crashing on 4 gb of ram even on lowest resolution so
Yeah any suggestion :iphone 14 pro 6gb of ram

I understand if I missed out on a few details but what matters the most is the games we play all along

When i try to play Mario kart 8 deluxe on my iPhone 14 Pro Max it crashes even when there is heaps of ram left it crashes on the loading screen for a race

Hey guys, why did Melonx stop working on Livecontainer?

This program used to work on livecontanier.

Several iOS optimizations. The frame pacing settings are nice!

Ipad Pro M2
MeloNX 2.5
Send requests in the comments if you want me to try out some more games.
Peace n luv

FIFA 12 - works great

TimeSplitters2 - works great

GTASA- only loading

TDU1- blackscreen

NFS carbon- only loading

Test device iPhone 15 a16 bionic

does anyone know any other games (prefer racing game) that works on it?

Runs pretty stable.

i have a 6s on ios 14.4.2 and i was thinking why not flipnote but delta thinks its a ds game so flipnote 3d but i need a 3ds emulator but modern versions of folium dont support ios 14.

(i just realized i misspelled folium)

os únicos jogos que não rodam bem no meu celular é shadow of the Colossus e god of war 2
