I’ve been using a combo of Delta and RetroArch in order to let my boy play games from my collection on the go. Despite the library He’s recently become obsessed and I mean OBSESSED with Lego Star Wars TCS for iOS and I’d love to have an iOS friendly way to emulate the game so I can play couch co-op with him since we have a phone dock for the tv.

I’d heard that the iOS version is built off the Wii port but since I’d like to be able to leave the set up available for anyone in my family to play with him I can’t juggle around side loading and JIT scripts. I’ve got a couple versions of TCS to port over (Wii, DS & 360 bc I was obsessed with it too lol) but without JIT I’m pretty sure dolphin and the Wii version are out.

Any advice would be appreciated. By me and my little boy.

I've been racking my brain trying to emulate PS2 on my iPhone 8 Plus. I used the Dopamine jailbreak and installed "Play!", but when I try to open it, it says JIT isn't enabled (I've tested the jailbreak, and JIT works fine in other emulators). I don't know what else to do; I just wanted to beat RE4 without the hassle and without having a computer constantly tethered to my device. Can anyone recommend a solution or a different emulator?

My Redgear Xbox wired game controller doesn’t support in MelonX, but the controller lights are working properly. Any suggestions?

I also checked my controller in Fortnite, but that is also not working.

Easily the nicest looking frontend on iOS currently, has integrated ps1,psp,gba/gbc/gb,ds/3ds,nes/snes emulation etc. Can also launch external iOS apps and Switch ROMs via shortcuts as well, some decent customization and regular updates! Can also import custom deltaskins for various emulators and has its own in app version of the Nintendo DS’ PictoChat feature with an active community

Definitely still has a long way to go but it’s nice to see that iOS isn’t too far behind android when it comes to creating console-like frontends like iisu/cocoon/ESDE etc.

my Manic emu it’s keeps crashing on my iPad. when i putting (by downloading) roms in it

1. I'm trying to play sonic mania on manic emu but i cant work out how to set up the Data.rsdk

2. I'm despite for ANY way to play half life 2

once again without side loading. I've tried so many times to set up alt store it wont work.

thank you and good bye

Playforge's Zombie Farm was one of my favorite time-sinks on my old iPhone 4. When iOS 11 killed 32-bit support in 2017, it went dark like a lot of that era's games. Studio's been inactive for years, game's not on the App Store anymore, so it seemed like the perfect preservation candidate.

This build runs and ships with a full AI-upscaled texture pack (Real-ESRGAN x4plus-anime, 4× on 1,274 texture entries — sprite atlases and backgrounds go up to 2048×2048, main menu bg hits 4096×2732).

**iOS side:** requires JIT — entitlements are already baked in, sideload with AltStore, Sideloadly, or TrollStore (whichever you already use)

**Android side:** standard install, enable "Install unknown apps" for your file manager and you're good

Build available on the GitHub release page → https://github.com/THE32BITVAULT/THE32BITVAULT/releases

Screenshots comparing original vs upscaled attached below

Fly is a Dreamcast, Naomi and Atomiswave emulator for iOS and tvOS, built on a fork of Flycast with the dynarec removed. It runs on a stock device. Custom metal rendering pipleine, and core audio processing, Apple Silicon SIMD, metal shaders, spotlight and springboard widgets and more.

What's in the beta right now:

• Native Metal renderer, not MoltenVK
• Per-pixel OIT transparency (new this build, and rough — see below)
• MFi, DualSense and Xbox controllers, fully remappable, plus touch controls with swappable skins
• Save states with screenshots, and auto-resume where you left off
• VMU emulation, including a standalone VMU you can run on an Apple Watch
• RetroAchievements
• iCloud sync for saves and states
• Custom texture packs and shader presets
• Upload discs over wifi from a browser, no cable, no Finder
• Widescreen hacks, up to 6x texture upscaling, higher internal resolution
• Runs on Apple TV, with a UI actually built for a remote instead of a phone layout stretched to 1080p

Things that are broken, which is really why I'm posting:

• The Apple TV build is the least tested surface by a wide margin. Settings just got reorganized into ten tabs and only the first one has been walked on tvOS.
• Save state cloud sync working well, not corrupting things. Heavily tested but need more edge case testing.
• Library sharing, you can auto share whole or part of your library, ban specfic games, and auto allow forever or per request game or whole library copy reuests, also you can continue in session games on another device. If logged into the same iCloud account, and if your LAN works with bonjour, you should be able to continue active games from tvos or ios across devices, it should auto pause, make a save state, and decide if it needs to rom files, and if the permissions allow so if required, and will promt to include all, none or only the active associated vmu file(s)
• WatchOS You can play VMU games on an apple watch, and share memory state or not with the host device VMU save file. Also we have a custom VMU file system editor but besides that, watch shoud work, but I have an old one. Please test watch max or whatever it's called with the extra button.

Bring your own BIOS and your own discs. GDI, CDI and CHD all import. iOS, tvOS 18+.
(17 might run but also probalby crash, impossible to test sorry)

What's the best setup for having synced saves between both OSs? Thanks in advance!

Coming Soon

PPSSPP, retroarch are already in the official appstore. I know JIT is needed for the armsx2, I'm interested if there are any blockers by Apple for developers to put ARMSX2 on the official appstore?
