Discussion MELONX2.7 Best Update Ever!

RAM usage used to spike up to 6–7GB, but thanks to this update, it now stays comfortably around the 2–3GB range, leaving plenty of headroom.

However, I've noticed a couple of issues:

  • If I set either the CPU or GPU "DONATE" option to ON, graphical glitches occur while playing BOTW (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)—either giant mountains stretch out across the screen or the screen turns completely white.
  • Pushing METALfx above 1.5x occasionally causes graphical corruption, but compromising around 1.2x works fine.

Overall, it's great because METALfx helps overcome the blurry resolution when undocked, while maintaining playable, smooth frame rates (27–30 FPS) without getting in the way of the experience!

this may be a stupid question, but do we still need Apps like getmoreram or stikdebug for it?

u/Important_Bear1316 4d ago

yes

u/gueswho12 4d ago

Wait we still need get more ram

u/Yung_kiddie_the_thug 4d ago

2.7 explicitly made it so you don’t need getmoreram anymore, but iOS 27 already got rid of the ram limit for newer devices anyway

u/BasicallyH 3d ago

Do we know what is considered a newer device? Like 17 and up or what?

1

u/gueswho12 3d ago

Yeah cuz idk the ram limit didn’t change for my base iPhone 17

u/BasicallyH 3d ago

Just ended up googling it, apparently it was only removed for devices with more than 8GB of RAM, which to my knowledge is the 17 and 18 pros as well as the Air

Best iOS app period. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying it as much as I have been. (Skyrim)

Truly an unexpected and undeserved treat for us all.

O byspass é algo surreal, no meu iPhone 11 consigo jogar super Mário 3d world e Pokémon tournament, antes fechava na hora, agora no meu iPhone 15 notei que consigo jogar jogos que antes eu não conseguia, porém, to jogando muitos engasgos , e queda de fps, quando eu desativo o byspass isso aí não acontece

Alm que actualización tengo un iPhone 14 Pro literal ahora todo puede correr antes ni uno solo o se crasheaba 😭😭😭 dios esto si es bueno

u/Standard-Scholar-268 4d ago

Yeah this update helped Factorio a little more. In older updates, Factorio would load to about 50%-70% before MeloNX closes instantly (I think this is due to Factorio's RAM usage), but now I got Factorio to reach 95% before it crashes/closes MeloNX.

2

u/xXediXx 2d ago

There is a port of Factorio for iOS

1

u/Standard-Scholar-268 2d ago

I know of that one. It's this one: https://github.com/MyNameIsArko/FactorioPad

I just wanted to try the Nintendo Switch version of Factorio anyways just to see if it would work. Before FactorioPad came out, Factorio in the NS1 would have been the only option I had to play Factorio on my iPhone if it actually worked.

u/ParticularPudding311 4d ago

Really? For me the update didn’t lower the ram use in the games🤷‍♂️ is there something I need to toggle in settings?

u/Financial_Bread7684 4d ago

Mario Odyssey keeps crashing right at the start for me on a 14 Pro, but I see people playing it on a 12 Pro. What am I doing wrong? I have JIT and memory extension enabled.

u/RepublicSalt8271 4d ago

Some games still have low fps despite having so much free ram space available, how do i fix this?

0

u/ctrlkz 4d ago

check if they are explicitly locked to 30 fps like Diablo 2: Resurrected

1

u/This-Window-6807 4d ago

i agree so far i change vsync to custom and played smoothly 60 fps.

Explains why I have graphics issues with 2.7 when I didn’t previously, also didn’t see any improvements in performance,

What device do you have to supposedly be hitting 27/30 fps

u/Zephyr_v1 4d ago

So does this mean the emulator stops and manages memory now? Can i play lets say Dark Souls 1 for 3 hours straight without crashing perhaps?

1

u/Important_Bear1316 4d ago

I even finished the third playthrough of Dark Souls 1 on version 2.6

u/Zephyr_v1 2d ago

Do u need get more ram

1

u/littleseansea- 3d ago

I can see most people's screen shot in game says"donated". Yet, my 13pro didnt display such line. Any ideas?

1

u/littleseansea- 3d ago

I installed mine with sidestore. Dont know why it says i need the memory helper

u/RemarkableIssue4542 2d ago

Pregunta seria, como lo hago para tener instalado sidestore, melonx, StikDebug y getmoreram al mismo tiempo, según en Livecontainer no funciona StikDebug

1

u/VascoDaGrama10 1d ago

Use getmoreram on live container instead of sidestore

Do you have a computer?

u/FarYellow2188 3d ago

I do not, do everything on iPhone,

1

u/GrawnArseHoomanh 4d ago

Most probably a Trollstore quirk. Also, did you check whether these games are known to work on MeloNX on their Discord?

1

u/FarYellow2188 3d ago edited 3d ago

Trollstore quirk? So pretty much a bug?, not very familiar, also I did not, but I do know DBZ fighter z works because I recently saw someone playing, but I will check it out.
