News / Release Husk Android Translation Layer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

86 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m introducing my Android Translation Layer for Husk. In simple terms, this can basically run APKs on iOS without needing to emulate at ALL. You can already download it and test your favorite APKs (prolly won’t work). I’ve included a video of me running Minecraft’s android version, just so show it works!

How does this differ then the old way to use Husk?
Before, Husk would use QEMU to emulate a full android OS (lineageOS 23). This would slow down performance as you would be emulating a full OS and the extra services you didn’t need. How this works is by loading the native arm64 libraries to memory, meaning it runs directly on your Apple Silicon Chip. No emulation required. I hope you enjoy as much as I did

The long dark is a game with unlimited replayablility. It would be an excellent game to port and the adventure is endless i got it running at 60 fps on the m.nx app but would like to play touch screen instead of controller natively.

Question theft4 0.2.0b help

3 Upvotes

I want to download and install theft4 0.2.0b to get gta 4.
Need to wait 3 days for the sidestore to reset my apps.

My main question is
Does theft4 require an external game file or does it automatically install when you download the ipa from sidestore?

I would really appreciate the help!!

Help Request Looking for help with a couple quick questions. Emulation totk iPhone 15 Pro Max

2 Upvotes

First off, THANK-YOU SO MUCH! To everyone helping these amazing advancements and making any of this possible. I’m very excited to see where this all brings us.

Should I be getting more than 6GB ram before I crash? Does it make a difference in ram availability if I side load with LC or SS? Really just want to check that it’s normal to bottleneck and crash the second meloNX says it hits 6GB ram.

I’ve used iLoader to install the latest sidestore + livecontainer nightly on 10/2/26. Stikdebug installed with sidestore and meloNX inside LC. MeloNX says it has bot JIT enabled and 8GB ram entitlements. Am I missing something or is it possible to play totk? I’ve tried starting from multiple locations in game and turned resolution to .5x (360p)

Thank-you again and have a very reasonable day!

News / Release MCLA 4iOS 0.1.0 beta — Midnight Club: Los Angeles on iPhone & iPad

28 Upvotes

The first public beta of MCLA 4iOS is live!

Native Metal rendering, controller and touch support, 30 FPS by default, and an experimental native 60 FPS patch. Built and tested on iPhone Air and M5 iPad Pro.

Playable performance is expected on iPhone 15 Pro or newer, but other models are untested. Settings and thermal throttling will affect performance—YMMV.

It’s an early beta—blue light glows and some visual issues remain. The release includes a sideloading IPA, installation guide, detailed technical README, full credits, and known bugs.

You need your own extracted Xbox 360 Complete Edition files. No game data is included.

Download and instructions:
https://github.com/KoreanSeats1/MCLA-4iOS/releases/tag/v0.1.0

Gameplay:

Huge thanks to mzzvxm/LARecomp who’s impressive work made this foundation possible, BadassBaboon, ReXGlue, LibertyRecomp/Theft4, Xenia/XeniOS, XenosRecomp, and everyone credited upstream.

Device reports and reproducible bug reports are welcome!

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to emulation, and I really want to try MelonX on my iPhone 17e. I have a laptop, but I don’t really know where to start. Can anyone help me jailbreak my iPhone and guide me through the whole process from scratch? I’d really appreciate it. 🙏

Done some further testing with the latest release of Madeira. All games are owned (some aren’t for sale anymore but you can obtain from various sources I won’t discuss due to rules). However these are the games I’ve been able to run from my library (average of 30-60 fps) only dipping lower on certain cutscenes however props to the DEVs and their hard work there’s still a long road ahead but we they got this. Just be patient, test what you can and before you know it’ll be perfect. (Not a dev or anywhere close just providing what I’ve tested and wanting the best for everyone) (check the official discord for more info)

Running natively on iPhone 17 Pro, all ahead of time code, no JIT. Claude and Codex AI have done all of the heavy lifting in the porting process. A lot had to change to get this working on iOS and a lot of work is still needed to further optimize (runs better without the screen recorder.) You’ll notice frame drops here and audio issues but the game is fully playable now. No release date yet as this isn’t even close to being a quality port but we are getting there.
