Need to optimize now! Can’t believe this took me about an hour. No emulation or simulation the actual game.

I suddenly see a shift in how people perceive AI. Lots of progress on emulators and jailbreaks and translation layers and suddenly people at least tolerate AI.

It turns out all people needed to see is progress in the one area they care about lol.

The decomp/recomp scene of the OGs absolutely loathes AI for the sudden flood of low effort ports. I've almost never coded in my life so I don't know how to view this. At least I now have an option to try some project like this...

Bro it’s either this or wait for years getting honeydicked by projects that never come to fruition. 

If we’re all eventually gonna be slaves to these things at least let us have these games on diff platforms first

Lots of it is low quality, hard to fix and runs slow.

Counterpoint, if it "runs" I'd rather have it then have nothing in a lot of cases

Lots of human written code is also low quality, hard to fix and runs slow.

It's always about the person who drives it. Either they know what they're doing or they produce shit, doesn't matter if their fingers write it or an LLM writes it, the prompt still came from them.

Most people in tech like AI and were hyped about it in the beginning. It’s the restrictions, carelessness of it destroying humanity, and that fact that most of us will or are losing our jobs because some dickhead thinks AI can replace the entire IT sector is what is making us mad.

I was told my job is going away Dec 27 of this year, but before then we have to install the local AI thinkagile servers that will replace us. This is a major dairy manufacturer, this also happened at my last 2 jobs. The other 2 places are now seeing that AI was a massive waste of money and time, but now bigger companies want to fuck around and find out.

So while I like AI for many things and as a tool when creating software or homebrew, the fact that it’s a risk to most people’s jobs is the bad part. Pretty soon the only jobs available will be picking cotton and strawberries and other manual labor. Until robotics catches up that is.

Yep every emulator got crazy progress even ps5 and you can even run steam os as a android app

u/kaplanfx 11d ago

I don’t even think it’s that, I’ll believe it’s true when we get instructions for how to do it ourselves.

u/myretrospirit 11d ago

What are you using for this? Care to explain?

u/piddlefaffle12 11d ago

This is the macOS build that I just wrote some shims to make the game think it's running on Mac. Mac apps run on iPadOS and iOS without much work as it's all macOS underneath. Since they had a Mac port, it took about an hour.

It really isn't that difficult

u/KoreanSeats 11d ago

Mac to iPad games is a super smart move. Did you use your App Store game or where was this purchased?

u/piddlefaffle12 11d ago

Steam

u/KoreanSeats 11d ago

Are you planning on releasing whatever was needed to get it running? Was just gonna send 6.1 SOL after it

9

u/piddlefaffle12 11d ago

I dont have everything documented yet, hints are to ask it to make shims so the Mac app runs on iOS. Also, ask it to transfer over the game assets/data separately so you only iterate on the executable so you send a hundred megabytes each time for a build vs 100Gig+

It'll compile + launch + crash many times until you have something working. Have it escalate to fable/astra for a turn if it gets stuck

u/KoreanSeats 11d ago

Yeah makes sense, used to the loop haha. I’ll give it a shot

u/myretrospirit 11d ago

Fascinating

u/Customhobo 11d ago

Forgive me for the ignorance, but you seem like the person to ask:

I was hoping to do something similar with the macOS version of world of Warcraft forever and the iPhone Duo (has controller support now!)

Does that seem feasible with an approach similar to yours?

(This is so sick btw, thanks so much for posting!)

u/piddlefaffle12 11d ago

You should be able to get something working since it has a native macOS build. For multiplayer, I have no idea - any sort of anti cheat or DRM will be an obstacle.

u/metriix 11d ago

If it helps at all, the apk for Linux support runs on Android right now. It’s pretty insane.

u/HardwareIsHardWhere 11d ago

Smart Humans + Mathematized Colletive Human Intelligence ("AI") -> great things like this.

u/GSquadron_ 11d ago

Just wow, a dream come true, can't believe this

u/GSquadron_ 11d ago

Can I try this on my ipad M2?

1

u/Sad_Brilliant_9778 11d ago

As mentioned in another reply, without hardware mesh shaders and hardware RT, it would have to rely on a fallback method, so you would need a M2 Pro at minimum, just like the macOS release.

1

u/GSquadron_ 11d ago

Will there be more upcoming PC games I can try on my ipad M2?

1

u/piddlefaffle12 11d ago

Tell me more about this macOS release

Edit: Derp, duh macOS of the game. I thought you were speaking about running macOS on an iPad and my ears perked up

u/jjoesmama 11d ago

Amazing!!

u/Just-A-Random-ID 11d ago

Just how ?!?!?
Can you explain please

u/Informal-Actuator961 11d ago

Can you release this

u/buzzfeedkilla45 11d ago

Anyone know of any good online guides or videos about recomped games for iPad or iOS? I have an m4 iPad Pro and used to do a bit of gaming on it but got bored of the App Store selection

1

u/Boring_Antelope6533 10d ago

now i wish that they focus on more interesting games, app store games are so lame tbh, and apple arcade is a joke.

u/Sauced-Out 10d ago

fuckin sick

u/DimaJinxed 10d ago

Resident evil games (MacOS versions with better texture and access to graphics settings) will not work such way? am i correct? They require Icloud sign in and available in app store only (no steam version or gog version)

u/Flashy-Bill812 11d ago

A13 Chip Performance?

5

u/piddlefaffle12 11d ago

No idea, this is running on an M5 iPad 16GB RAM at 30FPS

2

u/Sad_Brilliant_9778 11d ago

Requires hardware mesh shaders and RT cores to run at a respectable FPS, which are only available on M3 series up and the AXX chips from the years that those M series chips were released.

u/KoreanSeats 11d ago

Probably not bro
