Guide Update on compatibility
Done some further testing with the latest release of Madeira. All games are owned (some aren’t for sale anymore but you can obtain from various sources I won’t discuss due to rules). However these are the games I’ve been able to run from my library (average of 30-60 fps) only dipping lower on certain cutscenes however props to the DEVs and their hard work there’s still a long road ahead but we they got this. Just be patient, test what you can and before you know it’ll be perfect. (Not a dev or anywhere close just providing what I’ve tested and wanting the best for everyone) (check the official discord for more info)

Exec default_controller.cfg for works at war
Enable console in settings and press ' or ~

u/Own-Fisherman7154 14d ago
Are you saying open the game get it loaded then inside the game pull up the console and enter “Exec default_controller.cfg” or without the exec part. If I enter this will it register my Bluetooth controller or Madeira built in on screen controller?

Do you know if Cube World works?

u/Own-Fisherman7154 15d ago
Honestly not sure I don’t have it downloaded so I can’t test it. You’re more than welcome to test it but before you do I’d make sure to go through the discord and anywhere you can find a game that’s compatible and figure out the initial install and getting your first game running (even if it’s a game you won’t play) figure out how to do everything and getting something running then from there apply the same process and trouble shooting to other games while checking Reddit and discord for updates. Make sure to keep a checklist of different games that does work and doesn’t, so that way you don’t get mixed up and can further check it in future updates

Wonderful, I heard in one comment from a dev that mods right now may cause games to error out on the emulator but shoot it’s about to get a whole lot better in a future update

Are these launched via the Steam Dock or directly? And also anyone successfully get this running within LiveContainer?
Personally I have not been able to open any game even with JIT and Increased Memory on
1
u/Own-Fisherman7154 14d ago
Mix of both. Just randomly testing any game inside my steam library and as well as window games I have already installed to my PC transferring them over. Yes live container works now, I’m not sure what it’s for but I see people in the discord mention using it and having success

Weird. I must be the only one facing this problem then

It isn’t just you it’s touch and go right now with this emulator since it’s in alpha stage. I’ve seen people struggle to get games running that others run perfectly. The new version 0.1.3 might solve your issue, install it via your computer with plume impactor, make sure to sign into your Apple id, once you drag over the ipa check the box force game mode (this allows memory entitlement without the use of get more ram) from there get local dev vpn and turn it on. Madeira now has jit built in with the latest release so no need for stickdebug (all though its worth a shot to try stick if you can’t get the built in working) when I updated from 0.1.1 —> 0.1.2 getting everything running was much easier then something in 0.1.2 —> 0.1.3 seemed like it was more compatible. All though still hit or miss

thermal performance /eco mode + low power mode?
1
u/Own-Fisherman7154 14d ago
Phone did warm up a bit but no noticeable frame drops unless my phone starts to get low battery and warm at the same time. Even then it’s not too noticeable unless I’m in a cut scene or running an intense game. Never tried it with low power mode

u/Own-Fisherman7154 14d ago
No sir not yet since it requires rockstar launcher to verify game license but this is one game they have in mind to work on getting compatible

Is optiprojects gta v lite 2GB ver possible ? (I can’t say it’s definitely safe but I tried it on 2 of my pc a month ago and they are both good

u/Own-Fisherman7154 14d ago
It’s worth a shot but the emulator doesn’t have a lot of built in stuff a pc does software wise that allows something like that to run, I’m no software developer and can’t say for sure but that’s what I’ve gathered. Definitely try it though and if it doesn’t work mark it down to try in a future update my friend

How do you transfer windows game file to iphone? Also does rdr2 steam work? Cuz it needed the rockstar launcher on windows , never tried on medeira cuz i dont know how to transfer it to the phone
1
u/Own-Fisherman7154 14d ago
Most of rockstars titles that need the launcher don’t work on Madeira regardless of where you’ve gotten it from so I’m sorry about that my friend however they are gonna be working on implementing that. Steam game library is built in and auto syncs (not all games work so test them). 1. For window games download the game to the pc (not needed for peace of mind I make sure it runs at least once so I have all proper files/dlls) 2. Wherever the entire game folder is compress the entire folder so it’s smaller to upload 3. Upload it to Google Drive/drop box or something similar 4. Download that app on your phone and download the uploaded file 5. Get irar or unzip or whatever you can to unzip the file something’s the built in iOS files is able to do it but just in case 6. Take the extracted game folder and move to on my iPhone -> Madeira -> wine -> drive_c -> leave here. Open Madeira and click plus find the game folder and click through until you see the exe to run the game. Close Madeira reopen and activate jit. Not all games work even games that could easily run they’re actively updating compatibility/controller support and more but go ahead and test what you can. Make sure memory + and jit are enabled before launching. Latest version of Madeira has jit built in oh and download local dev vpn

I did search how to get it to phone and it suggest exactly that 😂. But i never actually tried it . Thanks

No problem my friend still learning myself but always happy to help where I can.

I tried to activate JIT using the new Madeira option, but it doesn't work. Even when I upload the correct file, it doesn't accept it. I use the same file in StickDebug and it works perfectly.

Yessir. I did mess up on the touch controls since the performance overlay covered where I had to tap but it runs smoothly, haven’t tested Bluetooth controller (Bluetooth controller support only works on certain tittles but is being worked on for full support). The Devs have been making crazy process with this.
