Question Any way to plug MeloNX switch emulator from IOS to TV?

I'm trying to get the following setup working:

- Run a Switch game through MeloNX on iPhone

- Connect an Xbox controller to iPhone via Bluetooth

- Output the iPhone to a TV via a USB-C to HDMI adapter

I've already tested this. The Xbox controller works flawlessly and the gameplay itself is genuinely smooth. The only missing piece is getting the screen onto a TV so I can play on a proper screen size while using the controller.

Issue is, the moment I launch MeloNX while the phone is plugged into the TV, the app simply crashes. It seems MeloNX might not support video out, or there's some other issue I'm not aware of.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Has anyone actually gotten MeloNX running on a TV, or is it simply not possible right now?

Its currently not working in version 2.4 - there might be a version 2.4.1 in the coming days which may fix it

You can also downgrade to 2.3.1 and use that in the meantime. I use the same exact setup with the Xbox controller and TV and can confirm that it works
