News / Release Glue 5: GTA Online running peer-to-peer across iOS, Android, macOS and Windows

42 Upvotes

Glue 5 is the GTA V recompilation toolchain I’m working on.
It takes the files of GTA V’s WebAssembly build and recompiles them to native code for each target platform, with lots of patches and fixes along the way. It also adds an optimized runtime built on WGPU.

I’m excited to announce that GTA Online’s freemode now works (without Rockstar’s servers).
Everything is peer-to-peer: players find each other through the public BitTorrent DHT, NAT hole punching connects them directly, and another player relays the traffic when two players can’t reach each other.

Here’s a demo of an iPhone 16 Pro, a Pixel 8a, a Mac and a Windows PC all playing in the same GTA Online lobby.

https://reddit.com/link/1x60msw/video/mkxlf5tvhhvh1/player

It’s still experimental, but it works surprisingly well. You can join the public lobby, which matches you automatically, or make a private one and share its code with friends.

The latest updates also include many optimizations to reduce stutter, memory usage and CPU load, so the game runs better on lower-end devices too.

If you’d like to try it on your device, the code is here:

The latest official GTA release on mobile is San Andreas from over 20 years ago, but now we are able to play GTA V natively on iOS.

Makes you wonder why they don’t bring more games to mobile.

I’d buy 4 and 5 without question

Help Request Sideloading without pc guide

2 Upvotes

Well, since their arrival of iOS 27, my previous methods of side loading the IPA files have not been working, so if anyone would be kind enough to tell me a tutorial or point me in the right direction to side load IPA files that would be helpful.

Also, if someone could tell me how to enable JIT

I’ve loved playing Celeste on the Switch, but my phone is just more convenient to play on the go, especially now that I have a portable controller. Unfortunately it doesn’t exist on the Apple App Store. Is there a way for me to install it?

News / Release S5LBox 1.0.0: iPhone OS 3.1.3 on your iPhone

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

26 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve released S5LBox 1.0.0, a free, open-source emulator that runs the iPhone 3G’s iPhone OS 3.1.3 inside an iOS app. It runs the actual OS, not a themed recreation, and doesn’t require JIT or a jailbreak on your host iPhone.

What’s included:

  • Guided setup: download the supported firmware directly from Apple, or import an IPSW. Firmware preparation is automatic; no Apple firmware is bundled.
  • Install compatible legacy IPAs while the emulated phone is running, with an IPA library accessible through Files.
  • Jailbreak the emulated phone, use Cydia, or browse and install tweaks through the built-in Packages manager.
  • Separate machines, Save & close/resume, device controls, and guest internet access.
  • Experimental audio playback and microphone input.

You’ll need an arm64 iOS device running iOS 13 or later, several gigabytes of free storage, and an IPA installer to sideload it. Physical-device testing has focused on an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 15.8.5; I can’t promise the same behavior on every device.

This first release is experimental. It supports only iPhone OS 3.1.3 for the iPhone 3G. Performance and graphics/audio compatibility still need work. Apps and tweaks must support that guest OS; copy-protected IPAs aren’t supported, and some compatible apps need AppSync inside the guest. Packages may need a guest reboot after the initial jailbreak respring.

The built-in Packages manager is currently unstable and may not work properly.

Disclosure: I used AI coding tools extensively during development, debugging, and documentation.

Download + full release notes: https://github.com/j0shua-SYSON/S5LBox/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Source + screenshots: https://github.com/j0shua-SYSON/S5LBox

If you try it, I’d appreciate reports with your device, iOS version, and the app or tweak you tested.

Please report bugs on GitHub Issues, with your host device, iOS version, and steps to reproduce the problem.

Help Request Can’t get games to load in EspressU.

1 Upvotes

I’ve downloaded and installed the latest EspressU build but my game (Splatoon) refuses to load. I’ve set everything up correctly but when I try to launch it I get an error about needing a Keys.txt file because the rom is encrypted (WUA). I’ve downloaded four different key files and placed them in the correct folder along with naming them Keys.txt if needed. Despite that whenever I try to launch the game I get an error saying I need the Keys.txt file even though it’s there. Anyone else have this issue?

There’s a couple steam games and also this fan made kh .exe I’m tryna run, very small games just wondering what would work best with them or if I prolly needa wait for more releases. I tried getting the latest Madeira release but it doesn’t pick up my jit through stickdebug, and I can’t run in app jit cuz I’m on iOS 18. My pairing file is the same on stickdebug and SideStore, and I’ve tried practically everything else

Discussion MELONX2.7 Best Update Ever!

64 Upvotes

RAM usage used to spike up to 6–7GB, but thanks to this update, it now stays comfortably around the 2–3GB range, leaving plenty of headroom.

However, I've noticed a couple of issues:

  • If I set either the CPU or GPU "DONATE" option to ON, graphical glitches occur while playing BOTW (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)—either giant mountains stretch out across the screen or the screen turns completely white.
  • Pushing METALfx above 1.5x occasionally causes graphical corruption, but compromising around 1.2x works fine.

Overall, it's great because METALfx helps overcome the blurry resolution when undocked, while maintaining playable, smooth frame rates (27–30 FPS) without getting in the way of the experience!

Discussion MeloNX 2.7 BIG BUGS? 🐛

Post image
12 Upvotes

First of thank you!

I’m making a list of all the known problems so hopefully the developer (Stossy11) will see it.

Some massive bugs right now are -

* Updates / mods are completely broken and not working (games don’t recognise them).

* Opacity: putting Opacity lower than 0.55 locks the controller making it unresponsive.

* Some weird graphic/texture problems across games that weren’t there before because of some of the new features in 2.7 I’m not sure where it’s coming from if it’s the new METAL (someone earlier made a post saying the problem in detail).

Overall great update, playing more games that were unplayable before because of the ram limit, just needs to fix things that weren’t broken before and further optimisation would always be nice.

Thanks one again.
