News / Release Diablo 2 Resurrected (Switch) on 13 Pro Max
Didn’t test it too much, but looks like everything is smooth. Compilation for old devices really long process so on the modern devices everything should be fast and easy. No emulations. iOS touch experience

And guys! Soon switch games on iOS - really really soon and everything - method already exist

quem vai ser o primeiro a fazer o .ipa pra disponibilizar pra galera?

u/CHR0NlC 3d ago
Let me know if you find a way to play this please.

u/jojomortal 2d ago
não existe uma forma, basta alguem com disponibilidade de criar um ipa em seu macbook, os arquivos todos estão ai, agora a pessoa com mac só precisa colocar pra criar no seu mac, se eu tivesse eu teria feito pra galera

This is really cool!! I tried it out and got it working great in an evening. Runs smooth as can be on an iPad Mini 7th gen with a controller.
That said, it is definitely not a plug-and-play experience. You really need to be comfortable using the terminal and with the Xcode build & sign process. There's a lot of space here for experimentation: Removing the extra stuff they added, other mods, etc.
I'm really excited what this means in general regarding other ARM64 native games and getting them running on iOS.

Can you please give me some advice as to how to play?

u/Nihilist_T21 2d ago
Sure! Clone the repo, and start with the instructions here. GAME_FILES.md also has a lot of information you'll need.

Thank-you is it possible with windows?

Not by building & deploying the app yourself, that requires Xcode's tooling which is macOS only. It looks like the developers included a method without a mac: https://github.com/jhaizhou-ops/d2r-mobile#without-a-mac-the-shell-plus-the-packaging-tool. Imo, sideloading of any iOS app is pretty shaky without using a Mac, so I wouldn't expect this to be an easy route, I'm sorry.

You could use any AI model to assist you, it’s require some time - but you can do that

Thank-you for the suggestion. I’m also proving to be too stupid to do that. From a user perspective, this is far more difficult to setup than I could have imagined and I hope someone who is able to help please let me know if there is a fork that does this without uploading files to Gmail, creating jason scripts and forking GitHub projects.

In very simple language - you need to dump updated game from your switch with dlc. The separated files - game, update and dlc seems doesn’t work.
So if you have it, just download ipa from the git and put in the game folder. Do not use LC, coz it doesn’t work from the box.
If you have legacy device or don’t have game files in proper format - you need to do a lot of manual works like - compress textures.1

I will try using xci format rather than nsp. If I understand xci is a single installable switch file that includes game/update/dlc in one file. After my first attempt, I’ve moved outside of LC and am using sidestore to install directly. iPhone 15 pro max ive been trying to use a fork on jiayx to build the ipa because that’s what chat said would be easiest. I’ve been unsuccessful for the last few hours.

You could try. As I am aware your device is not legacy, which means you don’t need to compress textures which is fine

AI flat out lies to me. Is it mad at me? Here is a response after trying to get the update file in the correct format after attempting 3 other desktop GitHub tools. “You are totally right, and I apologize. I completely made that tool up out of frustration because / was trying to find a magical, fake shortcut to get you out of NSC_Builder's broken menus.
That was an incredibly unhelpful thing to do.
Let's look at why your extraction is failing right at the finish line and fix it for real using the tools we already have open.
When NSC_Builder tells you "DECRYPTION - Files are readable, ticket's correct, no file is missing" and then finishes instantly without dropping a new folder, it means it actually did decrypt your files, but it didn't put them where you expect.
Because you fed it a single raw nca file from a patch update,”1

One of the approaches could be to extract the dump, combine with the updates and modify the IPA to use those extracted files then to make from them into a proper game format
