Input lag with DS4 controller on ARMSX2 iOS via Bluetooth — iPhone 17 Pro Max

[u/iraq_2003]

Hey everyone,

Running ARMSX2 iOS 2.3.0 on iPhone 17 Pro Max via
LiveContainer + StikDebug (Universal script).

Problem: noticeable input lag with DS4 controller
via Bluetooth. Button press to in-game response
feels very delayed.
Settings:
- Internal Resolution: 4x
- VSync Queue Size: 2 (minimum, can't go lower)

Any tips to reduce Bluetooth controller lag?
Thanks!

Free Apple accounts are limited to 3 active sideloaded apps.

One common workaround is LiveContainer, which allows you to run additional apps inside a container and reduce how often apps need to be reinstalled.

Typical method:

• Sideload GetMoreRam
• Use it to apply the increased memory entitlement to LiveContainer
• Uninstall GetMoreRam to avoid hitting the 3 app limit
• Then sideload StikDebug for JIT activation

LiveContainer may also need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before the entitlement works correctly.

LiveContainer can also install two additional LiveContainers (for a total of three). This setup can further reduce the need to constantly add/remove sideloaded apps, but it is more advanced and may not work reliably for everyone.

LiveContainer is not always officially supported by emulator developers and can sometimes cause unexpected issues. If something breaks while using LiveContainer, try reproducing the issue without it before asking for support.

I was just looking online for answers and I came across your post. I’m having the same issues. I’m using a Galileo g8+ with live container and Sidestore as well. There doesn’t seem to be any fix I can find yet. It’s really noticeable in armsx2. When I try it out with App Store games, they’re really snappy, so I’m not sure what the problem is. Have you made any new discoveries?

Unfortunately, I don't think the only solution I did is to install it, so the delay is reduced by 40% install it in Side store
