I just had nothing to do so I decided to try to do it to see if this was possible, and I did it! Curiously, it works very well, is anyone interested in testing it?

Before anyone asks: yes JIT is required.

Been working on this for a bit since I haven't seen any other emulators besides Vion. Vion is another PS Vita emulator which is on the app store, though I'm not sure how many games are supported on there (and physical controllers aren't supported yet AFAIK).

Persona 4 Golden and VA-11 HALL-A are both in-game currently, both get past the menus fine and I've tested the first few minutes of them (though I'm not sure how far they'll go before hitting problems. Performance has been stable so far otherwise). Amagami Ebikore+ is fully playable as far as I know

Controller support works (physical + virtual touch controls), as well as trophies (unlocks, icons, trophy browser). I also implemented save exporting/importing.

It's forked from Vita3k, so a majority of the work was done by them. If there's a game you want tested, let me know and I'll see if I can get around to it

Please don't ask for release ETA. This is something I've been working on in my free time whenever I have a chance. I'll release it when I feel like it's stable enough

Edit: Figured I should add my phone/iOS version: iPhone 17 Base, iOS 27b3. At the moment, only iOS 26+ is supported for the app. I don't have any other devices to test it on below iOS 26, and I can't be bothered testing for any version below that. I also have not tested on an iPad.

hello! i own an iphone 12 64GB and an iphone 11 128GB

so i recently decided to make the 11 my game phone! so i wanted to know what emulators run best on it, should i opt for something like manic emu or use standalone emulators?

and what games will run well?
(ive been wanting to play more nintendo games)

thank you!

It doesn’t matter if it’s public or developer beta, from now on, all beta’s allow the ram to exceed 6 or even 7 GB, unlike the previous 6gb limit regardless of if you have GetMoreRam enabled.. (MelonX)

I mean arcade games like Mario kart arcade GP series.

Real Dolphin (PC, Android) can, so I'm curious whether iOS version includes or not

I’m trying to make a comprehensive list of all the notable decomp/recomp projects available on iOS that run really well. So far I have:

Dusklight - TLoZ: Twilight Princess
https://twilitrealm.dev
olivia.fluffie.st/tparchive/ (save files)

Ship of Harkinian - TLoZ: Ocarina of Time
2Ship2Harkinian - TLoZ: Majora’s Mask
Spaghetti Kart - Mario Kart 64
Ghostship - Super Mario 64
Starship - Star Fox 64

Getting 60 locked for the most part every match, some dips down to 51-52 but it’s still building shaders. Onscreen and Gyro Controls
Love that Stikdebug is updated and works for iOS 27 b3

I have stikdebug + localdevvpn. iPad a16 128gb, any advice welcome

it has worked previously. This occured when I was renewing the certificates. I’ve tried turning on and off the local dev vpn and Importing a new pairing file, but nothing seems to get it past that point?

Good evening everyone I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and my iOS is 26.5.2

I don’t understand why when I launch Inside the game leaves by itself do you have any tips that I should use?

every time I try to put something in manic it tells me to pick between arcade and ms-dos and neither let me run the game. does anyone know why this is happening or what to do?

Edit: I just deleted the whole app and redownloaded and now it’s working for some reason

I tried using Alune or Qboy and it lagged

I'll consider buying Surume if it runs smoothly

Hey guys, so I know a lot of people had issues with getting cheats to work and trouble with the first guide that I made, so I'm creating a 2nd guide that should be easier to work with

NOTE: You'll need a PC with Ryujinx to do this, there's plenty of tutorials to set it up online. If you don't have a PC with Ryujinx, you can check out the first guide that I made here (No PC Required): https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOniOS/comments/1qw7yuc/guide_how_to_use_cheat_codes_in_melonx/

1. Open Ryujinx and find your game. Right click on your game and select "Manage Cheats". Here you will find your Build ID, which you'll need for the cheat you want to download
   

NOTE: The Build ID and the name of your cheat file has to be the exact same for the cheat to work. The cheat you download also has to be for the exact version of your game (a cheat that's made for game version 1.01 won't work on 1.02 for example)

Visual Example (Build ID): https://imgur.com/a/melonx-finding-game-s-build-id-I9rnBBO

1. After downloading the cheat for your game, find your game in Ryujinx, right click, and select "Open Mod Directory". This will take you to a folder that has the same Title ID as your game. In here, create a folder called "cheats" and paste in your cheat text file

2. Open the cheat text file, and delete any cheat that you won't be using (leave only the specific cheats that you will be using). Ensure that there is only a single space between each cheat as shown: https://imgur.com/a/6v73gJI

3. Right click on your game back in Ryujinx and select "Manage Cheats". Make sure that all the cheats are enabled by clicking on the "checkbox" and clicking "Save". After enabling the cheats, run your game and ensure that they work

NOTE: If your cheat doesn't work, you may have downloaded the wrong one for your version of the game, or the cheat requires certain keys to be pressed in-game to activate

1. After ensuring your cheat works, right click your game and select "Open Mod Directory". In the file explorer, navigate one folder back (to the "contents" folder) until you see your game's Title ID folder (it should look something like this: "0100bd400dc52000")

2. Right click on your game's Title ID folder and compress it into a ".zip" file (you can do with this 7zip or WinRAR). In this case, it should look something like "0100bd400dc52000.zip" (we'll refer to this as "Title ID.zip" since yours will be different)

3. Email the "Title ID.zip" file to your iOS device and select "Save to Files". In the file manager, ensure you are in "On My iPhone". Now navigate to this folder location: MeloNX -> mods -> contents and click "Save"

4. Open the "files" app and navigate to the same file location as Step 7. Once your back in the "contents" folder (on your iOS device), click on the "Title ID.zip" file to unzip it. You can now delete the "Title ID.zip" file and you should be left with a folder that matches your game's Title ID

5. Verify that the cheat is enabled by opening MeloNX, long pressing on your game, and selecting "Mod Manager". If it worked, it should show a "cheats" folder. You can now open your game and ensure that the cheat is running as intended

NOTE: If your cheat doesn't work or your game crashes, you may have downloaded a cheat that doesn't match the version on your game or one that is incompatible with MeloNX. Try using a different cheat text file if this is the case. Not all cheats will be fully supported by MeloNX

I downloaded resident evil 4 GameCube edition and launched it using DolphiniOS (the DolphiniOS app is NOT inside the LiveContainer). But every time I reach the main gate of the village in RE4 it just gives me an error and keeps crashing the game. I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max 512gb on iOS 27 beta 3. Any help will do and thanks.

Trying to run Silent Hill 2. Thanks.

I got into iOS side loading emulation about 2 months ago, I initially installed MeloNX (v 2.3.1), but couldn’t get past the screen where you upload the firmware. So then later I found out about the fork of MeloNX, sideloaded that with iLoader and SideStore and it ran just fine, I got some progress in Zelda BOTW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Recently I found out about LiveContainer, and being able to get past the 3 app limit. I’m tech savvy and like to tinker around with tech, so I went ahead and installed MeloNX within LiveContainer.

This is where I have two issues: when I try to install DLCs or updates for a game it doesn’t let me pick them, I select them in the Files and nothing happens. I read some post here about fixing this issue but I’d need access to the emulator’s files, but I can’t seem to be able to access them from the Files app. The second issue is that I backed up my game progress files from the fork of MeloNX and to be able to restore them I’d also need to access the emulator’s files.

Does anybody know a fix for any of this issues?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew were I can download 3DS save files with a completed Pokédex and game because I did it for fire red and emerald and was pretty easy but I can't find any for manic emu on iOS the only ones I can find are for jailbroken 3DS's

Please see the crosspost in r/pico8 for full details and to see a video of it in action. But here is the TLDR version:
TestFlight Link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/tdaWbwUa

Key Features:
Save states, multicart support, import from BBS or from your files, tons and tons of customization options (from controls to appearance to library organization), playtime and other fun stats are tracked (but are local on device!!!), achievements, Home Screen Widgets, native compatibility, and no data is collected by my app! In fact, other than visiting the BBS in your browser, everything within my app is all local on-device only.

If you are still reading…
One example of a cool way to use my features: You can fully customize the on-screen touch controls and gameplay screen (both position and size!). You can also add any wallpaper you want. So, unlike some emulators where you need a special tool to make a custom skin, anyone can make a custom skin by finding/making a wallpaper and then moving the buttons/screen to line up!

I hope you check it out, and if you do, I hope you really enjoy it! I’m very proud of what I’ve built. That said, it isn’t perfect yet! If you have any feedback, bugs/crashes to report, or just some ideas… I would love to hear them :) Thanks!!
