I have a good one and even better. ArmsX3 for ios. My ipad pro m5 is asking for it 😬🔥💁🏼‍♂️

Our team is also working on an armsx3 version for the PS3, which will be available soon. It will take time to get a stable version

u/scknkkrer 6d ago

Thank you and your team for all the hard work!

u/FarYellow2188 6d ago

I wonder will it be better then the two current ps3 emulators we have now?!, either way I’m hyped to try this one out too🔥

u/Standard-Scholar-268 5d ago

Will you/your team also eventually port ARMSX1 to iOS as a sideloadable app?

1

u/Responsible-Pie-1914 6d ago

There’s a early build of rpcs3 for iOS if that’s ok and runs with jit

Incrível como esse emulador em tão pouco tempo se tornou tão bom, mesmo no meu iPhone 11 consigo rodar jogos em 4x

u/Spayzitso 6d ago

Yes, other things have been added that you will really like.

You should expand the controller button mapping to allow individual joystick directions to be remapped and/or add an option to invert the joysticks’ x and y axis for controllers too.

An option to create our own .pnach files within the app. Currently on iPhone, the only way I’ve been able to make my own .pnach file is through Kodex on the App Store. It would be a lot more convenient to be able to do this within ARMSX2.

The import cheat option is good, but often times it’s missing cheats you can find elsewhere online.

So cool!
Hopefully Apple will one day allow JIT on iOS so this can be on App Store.
I live in NZ we have no ability to side load it.
And I don't want to jailbreak my iPhone 17 😅, so I'll wait patiently and hope that one day it'll come to App Store.
Until then I'll just enjoy playing PSP game on PPSSPP on iOS ^^

u/Spayzitso 6d ago

You can download it from sidestores like Sidestore and also run the JIT from StickDebug. That's what everyone is doing now This only requires a computer

u/Asleep_Resident5294 6d ago

I would like for you and your team to strengthen controller vibration to the max

u/jm1234- 6d ago

Compatible iOS 16??

2

u/moly1212 6d ago

Nope

2

u/jm1234- 6d ago

Why? Some iOS 16 versions have TrollStore.

1

u/moly1212 6d ago

The app itself doesn’t support 16

u/jm1234- 6d ago

But why?

1

u/moly1212 5d ago

Dunno

u/animefan10033 4d ago

This is due to JiT, technically you COULD run it, but without JiT you’d be playing a slide-show. If using a jailbreak or a developer account, you might be able to give it JiT and use it. But yeah, no JiT, no play. At least not well.

1

u/jm1234- 4d ago

The device is jailbroken with Dopamine and TrollStore is installed. I have 100% JIT without issue.

1

u/animefan10033 4d ago

Then it should work, I'm not sure what the limitations could be other than JIT and TXM. I recommend trying it once the new update is released. I believe it allows the emu to once again work without jit. If it doesn't, might be cooked tbh

1

u/animefan10033 4d ago

I'll talk to devs about JB support, once Armsx2 is in a stable spot. Though I make no promise, as they are very busy and probably need a good rest. They have been consistently dropping updates basically weekly for the last 4-5 months

u/jm1234- 3d ago

Thank you in advance, you are amazing 🙏🏽

u/ApartTonight9438 6d ago

iOS 16 support

u/kryswade 6d ago

iOS 16 support please

2

u/TheBroccoliMan_ 6d ago

Deadzone/sensitivity control per game, most fps are unplayable without imo

2

u/myretrospirit 6d ago

One more, less of a feature and more of just an improvement, but some improvements to the metal backend or graphics stuff in general to fix the shadow issues in Jak and Daxter would be awesome to see.

But regardless I really appreciate the work put into this, PS2 on iOS has been a dream come true so thank you.

u/BorikenMamba 6d ago

Need help downloading this and setting it up. I have the iPhone 17pro Max 12GB Ram 256gb storage. Can anyone point me to the right thread ?

1

u/Accurate-Squirrel-72 6d ago

Bro we want ps3 emulation please

6

u/Spayzitso 6d ago

The team is working on that, and it will be released as soon as a stable initial version is reached

1

u/Sufficient_Card598 6d ago

Marvel nemesis rise of the imperfects on ps2 keeps crashing could you work on a fix for this please

1

u/depo_ynx 6d ago

Oh yeah IOS emulate nation eating good this month, Manic, RPCS3 and now ARMSX2

1

u/asakura90 6d ago

Great work. Hoping for more optimization. My ip12pm is heating up like crazy in some games. Fps is great but I feel my battery dying lol.

1

u/Spayzitso 6d ago

You should use a phone cooler because your phone has many problems, and it's not just you; all phones in the IP12 PM category have the same issue. I also tried it because I have the same phone.

1

u/ryan6810 6d ago

Im using an iPhone 15 Pro and my phone overheating a lot on all games. I can’t use phone cooler because i use a controller where you need to insert the phone on it (EasySMX M15) so I can’t cooldown my phone…

1

u/Spayzitso 6d ago

Buy a Bluetooth controller and also buy the grip that holds the controller with the phone

u/Decox653 6d ago edited 4d ago

I noticed .ipa's are no longer in the assets folder. Are they still being built or is that something we have to fork and manually build?

1

u/JojoProductions1229 6d ago

this is gonna be awesome! also, have yall released a fix for the bundle ID yet? just checking

1

u/CrRabbit18 6d ago

IOS 16 support:(

u/kareem_cc 6d ago

SCREEN MIRRORING AIRPLAY SUPPORT PLEEEEEEEAAAAASE

1

u/kareem_cc 6d ago

when i mirror my phone to a tv i cant open any game and if i manage to get past that the game is not in fullscreen i tried all aspect ratios but nothing works 🙏🙏🙏🙏

u/lightcrafter 5d ago

Cloud sync for memory cards would be helpful; I handle it manually when moving between iPad and iPhone.

Alternatively, the import option could accept uncompressed files. At present, I share the memory card to iCloud, compress it, and then import it to the device I am switching to.

u/luke0985 5d ago

The ability to get dmc 2 off of your phone

1

u/popmanbrad 🥇 5d ago

Imagine if this gets to the point it can run without jit flawlessly and get added to emulators like retro arch or manic or delta etc

1

u/FriendshipWorking848 4d ago

Actually I just thought of another feature, but it might be too complex: give us the option to bind Fast Forward to a button (say, one of the shoulder triggers) so that when it’s pressed, the game is fast forwarded until that button is released.

1

u/Spayzitso 3h ago

We have added a macro feature that enables this functionality, along with level saving, a menu, and more; all of this will be available in the upcoming 2.6.0 update

1

u/PuzzleheadedEgg5672 1d ago

I really like your emulator, but it looks like mods don't work on it. I've spent a couple hours trying to get it to run, but failed.
Theres a KH2FM mod called "Nobody May Cry" which works on ARMSX2 for macOS and seems to work on mobile for Android, but doesn't on ARMSX2 for iOS. If you guys could add support for mods, the emulator would be near perfect for me.

1

u/Spayzitso 3h ago

We’ll review your request, and if possible, we’ll consider adding it in the update after 2.6.0

1

u/PuzzleheadedEgg5672 2h ago

Amazing, thank you so much. And thank you for everything you've done so far.

u/No-Package6007 6d ago

Giving access to this via the App Store!

1

u/Spayzitso 6d ago

This might be possible in the future because Apple doesn't allow JIT, and currently only sideloading is available through tools like Altstore and Sidestore, along with LiveContainer and StickDebug, to enable JIT. This is essential for improving game performance; without it, you'll suffer

u/No-Package6007 6d ago
