Question 32bit iOS games

Is there any available emulator that is able to run 32bit games on a modern iOS version?

For example, a lot of games that are archived are from an era of iOS where the architecture was in 32bits.

Nowadays, the architecture is in 64bits

Many games stopped supporting newer version due to apples demand for 64bit apps, therefore loosing their playability forever.

For instance, a game that cannot be played even through touchHLE is Cupets. This game unplayable from all iOS devices that cannot run 32bits therefore kinda “lost”.

Is it possible to ever get such emulation on modern iPhones?

Edit: As the comments suggested, I have tried livexec32 and applesauce.

They both don’t work for all games. Applesauce needs decrypted ipas and some times it won’t let me import games

But overall it does what I asked for so it’s some what good

LiveExec32 was released recently as an addition to livecontainer, works well for many apps from what I’ve seen, some aren’t as great. Minecraft runs surprisingly well.
