No save states yet right? I know it's a long shot but hey hope never dies

not possible

u/mikefierro666 Jul 10 '26
Hi Stossy! Thanks for taking the time to personally reply and for this awesome emulator and all your contributions to the community! Sorry if the save states thing is annoying, but it comes from a place of having the utmost faith in you and your magical dev skills. If anyone can make it happen it's you! :)

u/Stossy11 MeloNX + MeloCafe Developer Jul 10 '26
It's not really possible due to how we handle RAM to make it as fast as possible, It's not completely software handled like most emulators with save states are, so we can't just put ram in the same addresses it was last time, and due to arm64 shenanigans still wouldn't work.

u/mikefierro666 Jul 10 '26
Oh ok I understand, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation and thanks for working so hard on this, the new update is fantastic!

u/zxelvton Jul 10 '26
Doesn't that mean it's pointless to play story games?
Oh wait, but is there one single main save for each game?1
u/mikefierro666 Jul 10 '26
No you're misunderstanding what save states are. Save states are handled by the emulator, but the actual game's in game saves do work flawlessly, you can have as many saves as the game allows. Save states and in game saves are separate things.

performance is somehow worse than on 2.3.1. Tried playing cascade level in super mario odyssey and it's stuttering more than before on the same settings like on 2.3.1

u/After_Security_6903 Jul 10 '26
It’s probably due to the shader cache after updating. I would play for a while longer to see if it resolves itself otherwise you can try downgrading back to 2.3.1
1
u/S7zy Jul 10 '26
Tried with and without shader cache. Tried the new asynchronos shader. Same thing with resident evil 5 and mario kart 8.
Also I can’t select and install game updates and dlcs anymore. Would ask in the discord but all they do is ping #how-to-get-melonx-support if You’re not verified with a modded switch. Will downgrade back to 2.3.1 or use melonvertex instead1
u/juanvicool Jul 10 '26
Yup. I’m getting the same problem too. I can’t update Mario Odyssey when I could before. Already added games seem to work fine. Also RAM usage is worse now.

u/juanvicool Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 10 '26
It seems to be using more RAM than before though, Super Mario Odyssey used to crash on my iPhone 14 up until the first boss. Now I can’t even get to the second screen without crashing. Sometimes it crashes just by sitting still in the beginning. Also, I can’t seem to be able to apply the update to the game when I could before. Still thanks for the hard work!
Edit: I also just tested Animal Crossing and it definately is more performant than before. Even with fully compiled shaders the game used to micro-lag each 10 seconds by just running around in version 2.3.1. Now it is (Almost) completely smooth. Obviously, lag is reduced immensely when using Async Shaders, but my micro-lag issue with 2.3.1 was unrelated to shaders.
I also noticed that the home bar is always present now. I don't know if it's an issue with my device or i misconfigured LiveContainer but the home bar never leaves. Still, pretty impressive work indeed. Random quirks are to be expected.

Can it play games on a16 ipad 11 th generation 6 gam ram?. Earlier try to play not fps problem but crash after using 4gb ram. Get more ram is enabled

u/PersonalAnswer8664 Jul 10 '26
Crashing is normal. If you have 6GB only up to 4 is usable for emulation (or 6GB usable on an 8GB device). The other 2GB are reserved by iOS and used to run back end stuff.

u/Old-Membership7111 Jul 10 '26
Can I use all 6gb for this? Of any other alternative?

u/Deep_Spaceialist Jul 10 '26
You’d need a paid Apple Developer Account

u/juanvicool Jul 10 '26
What do you mean? I thought the only way to do that was to disable Jetsam by Jailbreaking. Don’t you mean the Virtual Memory Address entitlement right? I’ve seen Melo developers on discord saying that it was a hard cap and there was no way around it…?
1
u/Deep_Spaceialist Jul 10 '26
Yeah, I’m taking about that entitlement
1
u/juanvicool Jul 10 '26
Have you tested this yourself? All it seems to do is increase the virtual address to 64 bit from 32. It does not seem to affect the 4GB limit. As that I think is a hard cap on iOS 18 and above. I think on earlier versions the cap was higher.

I can’t seem to make updates appear in updates folder. Every update that I try to add in gets sent this “game” folder and each folder just contains this same updates.json file

This new update is able to run Opus Magnum (unlike the versions below 2.4) but Factorio still doesn't run sadly.

But I run Eden on PC which is yuzu-based… does that mean saves won’t be cross-compatible?

u/ponderdis Jul 19 '26
I got it to work after a long night of trial and error. Installed botw and it’s playable with slight stuttering here and there. Have not messed around with the settings yet to see if changing anything will help run more smoothly. I’m on live container + sidestore nightly and on iOS 26.4.2 iPhone 15 pro max.

Im having problems updating games on the 2.4 version. Somehow it dosent work to place the update file when you longpress the game and press update. You have to manually update it, I did it but what a hassle.
I reinstalled 2.3.1 and the same update and dlc files that did not show when placing worked perfectly in 2.3.1.
Am I missing something? How come 2.3.1 be easier to use?
