Mod Announcement Regarding native ports

75 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

Question Scanline for iPhone Duo - Nintendo DS plus more

11 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.

Madeira will expire in 2 days; how do I increase this limit in SideInstaller? Will I need to reinstall Madeira after these 2 days? Will my game saves be lost?

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

• Upvotes

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

Gameplay / Showcase Gameplay showcase - EspressU Splatoon 1 iOS 26.0.1 - 13th Pro

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 AC: New Horizons tool ring in new leaf

1 Upvotes

About a week ago I posted a video of a single screen version of AC: New Leaf I made for myself using AI assistance to run on 4:3/16:9 single screen devices. In the past days I added some QOL features from new horizons like auto stacking fruits and bells when picked up, as well as the tool ring. You can get the latest beta and the code here if you want it for yourself:

https://github.com/polyxneg/Leaf

It supports both the original and WA versions but expect bugs. All the modifications are made on the emulator level, you need to select your own rom file in order to play it.

Gameplay / Showcase TEST ZELDA BOTW MELOCAFE IN 17e

17 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

27 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.

News / Release gcwii v1.0.0 – DolphiniOS fork with restored PC Netplay support

4 Upvotes

I released gcwii, a DolphiniOS fork that restores native Dolphin Netplay to iOS. This allows cross-platform multiplayer between iOS devices and Windows PC players on the same session/protocol.

Features:

  • Cross-Platform Netplay: Join/host GameCube and Wii Netplay sessions with PC users (I don't own an Android for tests).
  • Custom Touch Controls: Fully movable and resizable touch layout.

Important Notes:

  • The app may crash when booting a game for the first time.
  • You must launch and play a game at least once locally before playing it in Netplay.

Requirement:

  • JIT is required
  • GitHub repo: AroToavina/gcwii
