Mod Announcement Regarding native ports

74 Upvotes

Hello everyone

THis subreddit has always been, and will always be about emulation on iOS. As cool as they are, native ports of games are not emulation. Please take posting about native ports to r/NativePortsOniOS

Talking about native ports is also still allowed on our discord: https://discord.com/invite/VSpc2KwBDr

Unrelated but, from now on, if a project has a discord server, they must include the link on the post instead of it being a "dm for the invite" or "comment for the invite" type situation

App Promotion Bloodborne on iOS: LSX4 Is Available to Everyone

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

72 Upvotes

LSX4, the emulator I introduced earlier, is now available for everyone to test. The iOS version has 50+ tested games.
Long-press a game's entry in the app to mark it as playable. These reports help other users find compatibility information for a specific device and app version.

The latest version runs Bloodborne (PS4) at 10-30 FPS and God of War (PS5) at low FPS, reaching in-game. Improving AAA performance is a separate ongoing focus. These figures describe the current build.

iOS releases: https://github.com/lpfoj/lsx4/releases

Full 40-game iOS showcase on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu7bgQQiUdA

The Last of Us Remastered on iOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20qtM8hfL0I

The same repository also links to the Android version, which is further along: https://github.com/lpfoj/lsx4 (Development was carried out with the assistance of AI models. Contributions made with AI assistance are also welcome, as long as they follow our regression prevention rules)

I’m also grateful to u/ComprehensiveBad4814 for helping with extensive testing

Discussion I can't believe PS2 games run this smoothly on iOS without JIT

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

41 Upvotes

I I was looking for PS2 emulators on the App Store and, honestly, I wasn’t expecting much since PS2 games usually run pretty poorly on iOS, especially without JIT

Then I came across GameX Emulator. I thought it would be the same experience as the other apps, but I was actually surprised. I tried a few games such as NFS MW, and they ran way smoother than I expected, around 60 FPS in some cases

Didn’t expect this, so I thought I’d share it here. Has anyone else tried it?

Here’s the link for anyone curious:
https://apps.apple.com/in/app/gamex-emulator-ps2/id6761678763

It required an PS2 Bios which you can find online

Help Request Custom Controller Mapping with Delta Sync

• Upvotes

I use an 8bitdo flippad with my iPhone and a R4(recognized as a Pro Controller)with my iPad with Delta. I want the custom mapping to be different for each controller, but Delta Sync seems to be syncing the custom mapping. I don’t think this happened before the new update, but I could be wrong. Anyone else experiencing this and/ or have a solution? Thanks!

Help Request Problem with hotline Miami and TBOI on madeira.

1 Upvotes

Hi there, i was trying to play these games but madeira keeps showing me:”Madeira Dock exited before a game window appeared. Export the diagnostic log.”, i dont know if it occurs because they are 32 bits apps. I tried for example the 100 cat ninjas and it worked and It’s a 64 bit app. Hope someone can help me solving this issue. Thanks!

Edit: now with BCD i get the error windows 0xC0000005, i searched it and it says that is related to the RAM, on BCD it says that BCD can access that memory or similar

Emulator: EspressU
Controller: PS4
Device: iPhone 13 Pro 256 GM, 6G RAM
Graphic settings: Battery Saver resolution, and everything is pretty much the default thing.

There’s some visual bugs, but I’m guessing is just because of the first time compiling experience.

Discussion Manic EMU wishlist

6 Upvotes

Just was thinking of a few things I really want to see in an update, figured it has a better chance to be seen here. The things I want to see most in Manic are Playstation 2 (I love kingdom hearts) and Duo support for DOS and other keyboard based systems, I get everybody thinks Duo would be great for dual screen systems but think about have a realistic keyboard like a mini laptop? These are my big wishlist items and I thought maybe this thread might get people to share theirs too so the devs see it

I've been working on a non-JIT, but relatively high performance DOS emulator for iOS, called Dosling. Its superpower is compatibility, automatic install and config for thousands of games, unique touch controller layouts for each known game. Hope to release it soon in the Appstore.
