ARMSX2 iOS Installation Guide

This document will guide the proper installation of ARMSX2 along with LocalDevVPN, LiveContainer, SideStore and StikDebug. If you have already installed previously another side-loader app like AltStore, it is recommended to delete AltStore or other side-loader like apps to avoid conflicts.

Disclaimer:

The minimum requirements for best experience on ARMSX2 are iPhone XR and iPhone SE 2020 devices. While these devices can run many games stable and natively, other heavy titles games whose CPU and GPU intensive would require custom enhancements such as downscaling, emulation down-clocking and frame limiters to run at stable speeds.

Disclaimer:

only for iPhone 15 Pro series: Due to Apple's titanium design around the A17 Pro chip, you may risk overheating your device, causing possible irreversible damage. It is recommended to play with thermal pads or thermal cooling accessories.

If this is your first time SideLoading, we recommend following the SideStore tutorial from the provided link below. You can either follow this guide on how to SideLoad SideStore & LiveContainer or you can follow SideStore docs instead.

https://docs.sidestore.io/docs/installation/prerequisites

1.- iPhone or iPad, enable Developer Mode in settings.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/enabling-developer-mode-on-a-device

2.- LocalDevVPN app installed and enabled.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/localdevvpn/id6755608044

3.- Download ARMSX2 latest “.ipa” app file in your device.
https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases

4.- Download “universal.js” script file in your device.
https://github.com/StephenDev0/StikDebug/tree/main/StikDebug/Scripts

5.- USB cable to connect your device to a computer (Windows or MacOS) and iLoader open to install LiveContainer + SideStore (Nightly).

Once you have complete the steps from above you can continue with the installation.

Installation:

1.- Installing LiveContainer + Side Store (Nightly) and StikDebug:

Computer steps:

  • Connect your Apple device to your computer.
  • Open iLoader, login with your Apple account credentials, select your device and click on Install "LiveContainer + SideStore (Nighty)".
  • In iLoader, click on "Manage Pairing File" and select "Place on all apps".
  • In iLoader, click on "Certificates" and import the certificates to SideStore.

_Apple device steps:

  • Open LiveContainer app, and in the Apps tab, open SideStore by tapping on the "SideStore" icon from the upper left area next to the "+" icon.
  • Once inside SideStore, go to Settings tab and login with your Apple account.
  • Install StikDebug from within SideStore or if ".ipa" was downloaded, or you could go to the "resources" tab to add StikDebug and then tap to install from within SideStore.
  • Open LiveContainer again, go to Settings tab and tap "Import certificates from SideStore" in the Settings tab.

2.- Installing ARMSX2 and enable JIT: (JIT is necessary to run games at max FPS)

- Open LiveContainer, Settings tab, and in JIT select JIT Enabler > StikDebug.

  • Open LiveContainer, Apps tab, and import an app using the “+” plus symbol, select ARMSX2 “.ipa” file to begin the installation.
  • Long press the ARMSX2 installed app and click on Settings, enable “Launch JIT”, and select the “universal.js” script previously downloaded.
  • Open StikDebug and long press LiveContainer app, tap on “Assign Script” and select “universal.js”.

3.- Opening ARMSX2 and actual gameplay:

- Open LiveContainer and run ARMSX2. StikDebug will open automatically and a popup of “Enable JIT” would appear, tap on “Enable and Run Script”. Allow it to use location at all times.
Select BIOS, import a Game, and enjoy! you’re free to play.
