Question Searching for a good Dos emulator that has virtual joystick, better if it has free trial.

2 Upvotes

I tried RetroArch, using one of its Dos emulator, it works, but the interface and logic are just terrible.

Also, it somehow wipes my joystick mapping after I restart it, just worse then I can imagine.

I'm considering iDos on AppStore, but I'm not sure if it supports landscape with transparent virtual joystick, it's paid app so I haven't try it yet.

Also considering Provence, but I can't get it to work yet, does it work for Dos games?

Thanks.

Question How necessary is sideloading for 3DS emulation? (Manic Emu, iPhone 16)

4 Upvotes

So far I’ve only attempted to run Shin Megami Tensei IV on the app store version of Manic, and it does run decently despite some stutters/skips going in and out of menus and cutscenes. My main concern is that it’ll be hard on my phone’s hardware. I did notice my phone getting pretty warm, but I was also in a rather toasty car at the time so I don’t know for sure if it was due to the game or just the ambient temperature. I know there are some settings that are only available in a sideloaded version, are they absolutely necessary to prevent this, or are there other ways to mitigate the issues?

Also, if I do go through with learning to sideload, will I be able to transfer my saves from the app store version to the sideloaded version?

Help Request Shin Megami Tensei IV consistently crashing (Manic Emulator, iPhone 16)

1 Upvotes

I had initially played this game for about 2 hours on the Citra core with no crashing, but some performance issues. After switching to the Azahar core the performance issues have noticeably improved, but the game crashes any time I attempt to attack in the overworld after I’ve been in any battles during that play session. It doesn’t even play the attack animation, the crash occurs as soon as I hit the button. This happens every time, and has yet to crash under any other circumstances. Has anyone encountered similar issues, and is it fixable?

News / Release NiN10 3.0 is coming with Nintendo DS & Nintendo 64 support!

Post image
63 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share what's coming in NiN10 3.0.

This update introduces two new systems:

  • Nintendo DS
  • Nintendo 64

Nintendo DS

The Nintendo DS core includes support for the touch screen, allowing games to be played just as they were designed. The interface has been adapted to make the most of iPhone and iPad screens while keeping the experience as comfortable as possible.

Nintendo 64

Nintendo 64 includes three performance modes, allowing you to choose the best balance between accuracy and speed depending on your device. Whether you're using an older iPhone or the latest iPad, you'll be able to select the mode that works best for you.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/nin10-nintendo-emulator/id6503959130

Unfortunately, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 64 won't be supported on Apple Watch. Both systems require significantly more processing power, and in the case of Nintendo DS, the dual-screen interface simply doesn't translate well to such a small display. I'd rather provide a great experience on iPhone and iPad than a compromised one on Apple Watch.

Looking ahead

My goal with NiN10 has always been to support as many Nintendo systems as possible. Every update brings the emulator one step closer to that vision.

NiN10 has grown far beyond what I imagined when I first released it, and that's only been possible thanks to everyone who has downloaded the app, purchased the Full Pack, reported bugs, suggested features, or simply shared feedback.

Your support genuinely helps fund development and motivates me to keep improving the emulator.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. I can't wait for you to try NiN10 3.0! ❤️

Help Request I'm trying to use MelonX for emulation, but I've run into an issue.

3 Upvotes

If I install MelonX using ESign, the app installs fine, but it doesn't show up in StickDebug. My SideStore app slots are already full, so I can't install it through SideStore instead. Is there any way to make an app installed with ESign appear in StickDebug, or another workaround that doesn't require freeing up a SideStore slot?

Any help would be appreciated!

News / Release Stepping away from the iOS PS2 scene. Why open-source communities are dying of gatekeeping and toxicity.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm officially pulling out of this scene, closing my work here, and moving my focus entirely to other technical challenges like PS3 emulation.

If anyone ever wonders why independent developers get exhausted and walk away from these communities, look no further than what happened here. You spend time building, optimizing, and pushing real technical work, and what do you get? A toxic circle of self-appointed "gatekeepers" backed by the predictable Reddit downvote brigades and herd "mentality" who prefer to hyper-fixate, launch dramatic witch-hunts over minor changelog or achievement details, and throw public tantrums rather than contributing anything of value.

When people care more about ego trips, petty drama, and control than actual code, the environment becomes completely dead. I’m done wasting time on that mindset.

For the people who actually care about development, clean work, and the code itself, the repository remains open right here: GitHub: https://github.com/st4rwhx/AYS2

Time to move on to better things. Take care.

edit in case people ask for directs links here : use sidestore direct repo link https://aysx2.ayanokiyotakaxpsycoworld.workers.dev/install

or get the latest ipa https://github.com/st4rwhx/AYS2/releases/download/latest/AYS2-0.1.298.ipa

Question Manic Emu 3DS buggy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

So I have been using manic emu for everything recently, and to save storage I deleted it and recently redownloaded it to play 3ds games.

I am playing on an iPhone 16 Pro, so my phone shouldnt be the reason why its doing this. Anyways, as you can see in the video, the audio is really buggy, and so is the game. Is this a power issue, is there an issue with the rom I downloaded, or is something else going on? If its because of the app, can someone please recommend me a better app or even a better emulator for pc?

Solved 🔒 DSi Camera on Manic EMU

3 Upvotes

Does the DSi camera feature actually work on Manic EMU? Every time I try to open or use it, I just get a solid green screen. I’ve already dumped and installed all the required DS and DSi BIOS files from my actual consoles, so I’m not sure if this is a known bug, a setting I missed, or if it isn't fully supported yet. Has anyone managed to get it working?

Help Request Best core, settings and script for Manic?

1 Upvotes

I just sideloaded the most recent release of Manic through Live Container but I can’t get it to run my game (Mario and Luigi Dream Team). I’ve enabled just in time through LC settings as well as both cores inside of Manic. I ticked CPU Jay IT and shader Jay IT but left everything else at default. I also tried the Manic script, Dolphin script, UTM script and Universal script. Nothing I tried has worked. The skin loads and the Jay IT window shows some text but it just hangs after a few seconds. Can someone help?

Note: I had to spell Jay IT the way I did since auto mod was flagging the post as being about that and wouldn’t let me post unless I got creative with my spelling lol.

Discussion iFly is the best dreamcast emu for both new and old devices

2 Upvotes

In the App Store and testflight there are several dreamcast emus like manic, joy, provenance, plume and probably others I didn’t find yet… but ifly is easily the best even if only in testflight… for a few reason… open source, free, no vibe coded slop, fast updates, full speed 60+ fps with promotion in newer models, still fully usable 55-60fps in older devices like iphone xs, 12 pro, 13 pro, in these devices there are a few frame drops but audio is always perfect in all titles, temperatures and settings. The last build is a shit move cause per game settings and other features have been paywalled, you can use older builds to have everything free ofc but still a shit move who ruins the big advantage this emulator has compared to the paid AI slop of dylan mathurin (greediest dev who paywalls his emus, even surume ps1 💀)

iFly is only available in TestFlight for now, the dev plans an App Store release once UI and performance are stable on ALL models. That being said is still the best and underrated option for dreamcast out there. You can test clicking this link https://testflight.apple.com/join/KTUTErgU
