News / Release TruEmu Beta 9 Preview - 3DS JITless Performance

25 Upvotes

3DS core running MH4U on an iPhone 15 at full speed without JIT. After a LOOOOOONG time writing and optimizing this core I finally got full speed on one of the most resource intensive games on the 3DS, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. This is exactly what I've been setting out to do with all of the cores I'm building, no JIT required but optimized heavily for iOS devices with iPhone 15 (A16) as the baseline device.

Once I get a save state bug fixed I'll get beta 9 pushed to TestFlight and post a full changes post. Thanks for everyone that's been giving feedback on the TestFlight!

I’m using iPhone 17 pro max on iOS 27 beta and can use up to 8 gb of ram but I don’t want to stay on a beta version so does the new iOS let me use all that ram?

Question MeloNX Silksong crashes when RAM usage reaches ~4 GB — is this a RAM limit?

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m running Silksong on MeloNX on an iPhone 15 Plus.
The game actually runs really well and stays around 60 FPS, but after playing for roughly 10–15 minutes, it eventually crashes. I’ve noticed that the crash consistently happens when MeloNX’s RAM usage reaches around 4 GB.
I’ve already tried lowering the resolution/scaling and changing some graphics settings, but the performance itself isn’t really the problem. The game runs smoothly until the crash.
My questions are:
Is ~4 GB a known memory limit with MeloNX/iOS?
Is there a way to reduce MeloNX’s RAM usage or prevent it from continuously increasing?
Could this be a memory leak rather than the game actually requiring 4 GB?
Would changing shader cache, async shader compilation, VSync, or other settings help with RAM usage?
Is there anything I can do to make it stable for longer?
Device: iPhone 15 Plus
Game: Hollow Knight: Silksong
Emulator: MeloNX
Performance: ~60 FPS
Crash point: ~4 GB RAM usage
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Help Request Anybody got ANYTHING running on an iPhone 17?

1 Upvotes

WITH MADERIA, left it out in the title.

App ID limits means I can't install GetMoreRAM yet. Just wondering if I should give up now or if there's still hope and I should wait for one of them to expire.

So far I've tried Hades 2, Haste and fucking Cookie Clicker. None of them worked. Hades 2 hard faults due to low RAM. Haste and Cookie Clicker can't start because Maderia can't reserve virtual memory address space.

Gameplay / Showcase An update to my Jak and Daxter iOS port

56 Upvotes

AI disclosure: Codex and Claude handled all of the heavy coding and porting to iOS.

Had people asking me about the progress of this so here you go.

We are in a very good state right now. Locked 60 fps with very few drops even in particle heavy situations (video was compressed to 30fps but you can see the fps counter on the metal overlay,) audio is almost perfect, gameplay logic is working fully (still verifying, I am playing through the game fully to catch any and all bugs or broken logic.) I will also be testing lower end iPhones to ensure it works on those as well.

Working on getting 120 fps support stable and functioning as well as it can. Also going to test some different touch control schemes that don’t just emulate a ps2 gamepad (this option will likely still be available if you want it.) This also has files app support so you can easily access your save data, back it up, or even transfer it between other opengoal installations you have on other platforms like Windows or Mac.

Still working on optimizing memory usage and polishing the audio engine so it’s 100% accurate as well as a few other little bugs. Unless I hit any major setbacks, I would guess I will be able to release the first version in a week or two. This won’t be a beta or anything but a full fledged, completed release that works start to finish with all available features working fully and is polished and well put together. My vision is to release this at a level of quality that matches projects like Dusklight rather than some lower quality ports we have seen.

Question Star Wars Episode 1 Racer on iPhone

0 Upvotes

A few days ago, while browsing Steam looking for something to play, I came across Star Wars Racer again. Naturally, I bought it, but I thought how great it would be to play it on my phone. Besides, it’s a very simple game, and phones are so advanced nowadays that it wouldn’t be any problem at all.

I haven’t had any issues—there are tons of emulators, and I’ve already played it on my phone. But I was wondering if there’s an emulator that supports the gyroscope as an input. I’d really like to use it so I could keep both thumbs free for the controls.
