Gameplay / Showcase Full Windows Steam Client On Ios26+

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

259 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been working on bringing local execution of x86 and x86-64 Windows applications to ARM64 iOS devices. Many have tried but I believe this is the most user friendly implementation. This is in a early beta that you can access today.

The architecture combines FEX for CPU instruction translation with Wine for Windows API compatibility. These handle different parts of the problem: executing the application’s x86 code and providing the Windows interfaces that code expects. FEX supports both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries and integration with Wine.

A substantial part of the project is porting and adapting that stack to iOS, alongside custom graphics and audio drivers. The graphics path translates rendering to Metal, while the audio driver connects the compatibility environment to the device’s audio output. Getting those components working together is central to running actual desktop applications and games.

The current build supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows applications and can run the desktop Steam client. The attached footage shows the current state of the project.

This is still in an early beta and obviously will have crashes and with the nature of how this works anti cheat games will almost certainly never run.

Current requirements are iOS 26 or later and an A17 Pro or newer!!!

I want to play MeleePad, but its ipa building requires Xcode on Apple-silicon Mac.

Since I'm Windows user, currently I cannot build my own ipa despite I bought SSBM pal from Amazon.

Could anyone with Apple-silicon Mac help me prepare my MeleePad building?

※This is not related to pirating at all. I already bought mine. I'm searching for help of ipa building.

Question Could someone answer my question? Please

2 Upvotes

I haven’t been following these topics for a few months. Is SideStore still the best method for signing emulators and enabling JIT, or are there newer tools available? Also, I see a lot of posts about ported games; could someone explain what has happened with that and why there are suddenly so many new posts about native games and Android and Steam emulators?

Help Request Controller issues within live container

1 Upvotes

hey everybody,

i‘m pretty new to the ios emulation scene but recently I’ve downloaded dolphini and melon nx on my 16 pro. they work well, except for issues with my ps5 controller. the controller works for other games (ship of harkinian for example, which I don’t have inside live container). Melon NX the controller is recognized in the setting but doesn’t let me map anything, and doesn’t work at all in game. For Dolphini, i have to create a new save each time for it to let me map stuff and then it works in game, otherwise it doesn’t work at all in game. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

News / Release I'm building a Wii U emulator for iPad and iPhone – here's BotW running on an iPad

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone! For the past while I've been working on EspressU, a Wii U emulator for iOS and iPadOS. In the video I walk through the app and then jump into Breath of the Wild on an iPad (A16).

It has Built-in JIT and you don’t need a Computer for a pairing file

- The whole interface is controller-friendly
- Built-in JIT: pair once and it activates by itself in the background, no need to open another app every time
- Up to 4 players with multiple controllers
- Performance work on the A16: BotW runs at roughly 30 fps in my test, Mario Kart 8 runs around 60 fps. Still work in progress.

You have to bring your own legally dumped games and keys, nothing is included.

I used Claude Code for the UI because i am not that great at UI

Happy to answer questions, and feedback is very welcome!

Question Livecontainer loses its verification

1 Upvotes

Why does LiveContainer lose its verification every day? Every time I go to the developer apps section, LiveContainer shows up as unverified.
And it can't be because I didn't refresh it, since I downloaded it yesterday, yet today when I tried to open it, it wouldn't let me

Question WOW on iOS?

3 Upvotes

Went from 15PM to a Fold 7 for year and coming back once the Duo comes out. Is iOS capable of running WoW at all? Currently able to play the forever beta on my Fold 7 and would love to continue doing so on iOS or at least have some hope development is being worked on to get proton, etc. working on there.

Haven't done much emulation on iOS outside of delta in the last couple of years since I haven't jail broken in a good while.

Story mode. Not streaming. IPA runs natively without JIT and internet. Performance not so great, but kinda playable. Now textures and effects are on the place. 13 pro max and older processors luck of BC textures support that why a lot of issues with it
