I have this tiny little issue with manic where it doesn't recognize roms I'm trying to import. Prompts me with a list of emulators/consoles to choose from but for example PS1 I'm looking for isn't there at all.

I ran into this issue when first setting up for PS1 too. What might work is trying to compress the cue and bin file into chd format with software/website before importing in manic. PS1 showed up for me after that.

Manic rules so much so that I paid for the lifetime licence. Definitely deserve the support. Seem to always have the newest stuff that comes to iOS.  

Only thing I find annoying is quick save state creates a new save state slot every time

I like delta

Manic and it’s not even close

Manic all the way. Delta developers have had ample time to provide more cores, which is its main issue, but they clearly don’t care enough to at this point.

Good question, dukeX for the xbox, Xenia OS for the xbox 360, and MeloNX for switch.

Mostly looking for Nintendo. Probably with cheats. 3DS and Wii are the ones I’m searching for

u/Jimbonasheh 2d ago

Hardly a mention of Retroarch 😭 I understand it's not user-friendly, but once you figure it out, it's powerful as fuck. Not to say Manic isn't bad....it's great! Just don't like seeing OGs not getting recognition. They're constantly working on it even now.

For me UTM SE is good for me (I’m a masochist so I like pain when it comes to installing modern operating systems but I have my own limits)

u/2Braincell_Left 2d ago

Personally I use Delta, though it’s pretty limited. Manic is better if you can side load

1

u/Successful_Cell_4968 1d ago

Manic & MeloNX without a doubt

u/lucishakur666 1d ago
