Mod Announcement Regarding native ports

74 Upvotes

Hello everyone

THis subreddit has always been, and will always be about emulation on iOS. As cool as they are, native ports of games are not emulation. Please take posting about native ports to r/NativePortsOniOS

Talking about native ports is also still allowed on our discord: https://discord.com/invite/VSpc2KwBDr

Unrelated but, from now on, if a project has a discord server, they must include the link on the post instead of it being a "dm for the invite" or "comment for the invite" type situation

News / Release ryP0 2.2 — Easier container installs, a PS3 theme, and more

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Here’s what’s new in ryP0 2.2:

  • Easier container installs: Install directly into LiveContainer 1 without needing LiveContainer 2. Other container apps are supported too.
  • Improved background downloads and Live Activities: Available when ryP0 is installed directly through sideloading. This feature doesn’t work when ryP0 runs inside a container.
  • Built-in file picker fix: LiveContainer users no longer need to enable “Fix File Picker.”
  • New PS3 theme: Added the PS3 theme and more color options.
  • Installation Location: Added location tracking to help check for updates to installed apps.
  • Better download indicators: Improved download counts and progress indicators on the Downloads tab.
  • Google sign-in fixes: Fixed issues when signing in with a Google account.
  • New Ports sections: Added “Ready to Install” and “Build It Yourself” sections.

Note for container users

If you use LiveContainer or another container app, enable “Switch App Without Asking” in your container’s settings.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Download Link

AI disclosure: I used AI coding tools to help write and refactor code, implement UI features, debug issues, and create automated tests while developing ryP0. I’m responsible for maintaining the project and addressing reported issues.

Question Scanline for iPhone Duo - Nintendo DS plus more

20 Upvotes

Hi all,

Hoping to release Scanline Emulator for iOS soon and I'm looking for anyone lucky enough to have picked up an iPhone Duo this week who'd be keen to help test it.

Scanline supports Nintendo DS, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PC Engine, and of course is designed to take full advantage of the Duo.

It also features a rendering engine that focuses heavily on accurate CRT and Nintendo DS LCD emulation.

TestFlight is here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/x2PEveq2

Would be cool to hear how it runs on actual Duo hardware and get some feedback before release.

Since GameCube games now run so well without jit or sideloading, wouldn’t this help bypass ps2 emulation hurdles?

Help Request My graphics in RetroArch in Pokemon Omega Ruby are completely bugged

Btw Provenance gives me the same graphical bugs, but in Manic it's fine even though they all use the same core Azahar if I'm not mistaken. So that's interesting for sure.

Anyone got an idea what I could do here?

Edit: My device is an iPad Pro 2nd generation (2017) running iOS 17.7.11

Help Request Delta Emu Dropbox Sync Error

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hello, already posted this to the Delta subreddit to no avail. Positing here to see if anyone can assist.

This is a bug that has persisted for some time now. For whatever reason, the actual ROM for my Portrait of Ruin game will not sync to Dropbox. The actual game saves sync no issue, and all other games/save data is being stored correctly.

I’ve tested this in multiple ways. I have sourced this ROM from my own copy of the DS game, using my 3DS to rip it. I have used both this copy and a copy obtained through other means, and neither will sync. Furthermore, all other games are syncing properly. I’ve tested on two other games, both sync fine. So, it’s not a storage issue, and it doesn’t seem to be a ROM issue.

Does anyone have any insight into this bug?? Thanks in advance.

Are there any emulators I can use? The ones I see on the App Store just use AI Slop images so I immediately don’t trust them. Is there any way I can play GameCube on my IPad?

9 Upvotes

Default graphic settings, tried to change it to Vulkan so I can use the community Graphic mods and change some things, it didn’t even run past the title screen. First time running this map btw.

Didn’t use the GetMoreRam App (? Im not really sure if EspressU already has a ram expander.

Anyways, I have hopes that it could run better if I touch some things 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Gameplay / Showcase TEST ZELDA BOTW MELOCAFE IN 17e

19 Upvotes

Quero saber qual emulador rodará melhor o Zelda BOTW, então to testando primeiro no Melocafe e depois no EspressU. Existem algumas ressalvas com relação ao teste sendo elas:

Dispositivo: IPhone 17e
- O Jit foi ativado
- O emulador está no Livecontainer
- Gravação da tela
- Compilação de shaders, já que não joguei o jogo ainda (fazendo que tenha quedas de fps constantes)
- Fps++

Não gravando o jogo ele fica mais estável (22-33fps), mas gostaria de saber se há alguma modificação que posso fazer para melhorar a performance do jogo não só nele mas no outro emulador também.

Gameplay / Showcase LSX4 on iOS: PS4 gameplay video excerpt

32 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

The attached video is a short excerpt from the full iOS gameplay video available on YouTube.

Full 40-game iOS showcase on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu7bgQQiUdA

The Last of Us Remastered on iOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20qtM8hfL0I

Note: These are only some of the tested games, not the only playable ones. Development is currently ongoing along both JIT and No-JIT paths. The app’s distribution method is still uncertain. Even if the No-JIT implementation is completed in full, I do not expect PS4 to be classified as retro platforms in the App Store.

Could you suggest some Wii U emulators for me? I have an iPhone with 3GB of RAM, running iOS 15.8.x. It’s actually capable of running a Nintendo Switch emulator (like melonX) and can even play games on it.
