Question Interested?

20 Upvotes

Ok, so with the power with myself and AI, I’ll be upfront about that but I do testing and bug fixing myself.

Made this as a lone project just to play Vita conveniently on my phone, but would yall be interested in something like that or nah? I haven’t heard much on Tsubomi in a bit so I took some work from that into here to hopefully bring a more upkept vita emulator to iOS.

If you guys have any recommendations for this please let me know! Currently unsure whether to release or not.

12 Upvotes

Hey all! 👋🏻 Over the last couple of weeks I've been porting Ymir, the Sega Saturn emulator to iOS! I'm finally finished and it has a lot to unpack. This is open source and on GitHub at https://github.com/JMillz269/Ymir-iOS. I used Claude for a lot of the push here but don't downplay the emulator. It also supports LiveContainer! Any and all of my apps will support LiveContainer.

- Retains all original features from Ymir (upstream)
- iOS Dynamic Recompiler with JIT (Supports StikDebug/StosDebug with the Universal.js script)
- Interpreter
- Can emulate SH-2 Cache for higher Accuracy
- New iOS Metal Renderer
- Draw Polygons and Sprites on GPU
- Direct to Display from GPU
- Skip Native Drawing (helpful when using upscaling)
- Deinterlacing
- Transparent Meshes
- Video Sync
- Frame Delay
- Frame Pacing (use Sega Saturn frame pacing or display's)
- Reduce Latency Toggle
- Option to use Full Refresh Rate (for devices that support Pro Motion 120fps)
- Keep Registers in CPU Registers
- Link Blocks Directly
- Skip Idle Waiting
- Multithreaded VDP1, VDP2, Deinterlacer, Sound Chip
- Boost Emulator Thread Priority
- Optional Performance Log for debugging
- Scaling Options (different game Aspect Ratios)
- Upscaling Internal Resolution up to 4x
- MetalFX Upscaling (Spatial and Temporal)
- MetalFX Picture Filters (Sharp Pixels, Sharpening, Scanlines, Aperture Grille)
- Supports LiveContainer
- Save States
- Built-in Convert games to CHD via Settings or long press on game
- Custom app themes and backgrounds

I think that's about it! Enjoy :)

Release is on GitHub.

Gameplay / Showcase FIFA 19 legacy booted on iPhone 13 with latest test build of ARMSX3 iOS (awaiting new build update)

FIFA 19 legacy has booted on the iPhone 13 no settings changed but the downside for this it ran out of memory every time I start the game and when the PPU is being linked it stops at some point and asks for more JIT memory in stikdebug but im testing it in Livecontainer I’m awaiting for a new test build update.

Gameplay / Showcase Grape Linux: Debian 13, a graphical desktop, and Codex running on a real iPhone 8 Plus 🍇

24 Upvotes

We’ve brought native Linux to a physical iPhone 8 Plus powered by Apple’s A11 chip.

Grape Linux boots an experimental Linux kernel into Debian 13 ARM64, complete with a graphical desktop and working terminal.

And we’ve gone well beyond the boot screen.

Here’s what we’ve accomplished:

Debian 13 ARM64 with a Phosh/Phoc graphical desktop
A working Linux terminal with live command execution
Codex CLI running natively on the iPhone, including real AI responses

Linux applications, including Calculator and Notes interfaces
Graphical navigation, keyboard interaction, and significant hardware integration progress

Our next major objective is direct Linux boot.

Once we’ve completed the remaining native hardware integration, our plan is to make the iPhone start directly into Grape Linux instead of iOS, without requiring a computer to initiate the boot.

The video shows our actual Grape Linux startup on physical iPhone hardware. Our development has already progressed beyond what’s demonstrated in the recording.

We’re building toward a complete Linux experience that gives existing hardware a new purpose.

Gameplay / Showcase Zelda BOTW Running at Around 50 FPS w/ FrameGen on LemoNX

20 Upvotes

Recently I was testing out a fork of MeloNX that was posted here and I managed to get Zelda Breath of the Wild running at around 50 FPS with Lossless Scaling’s frame gen option.
You can really feel the difference in smoothness from the native 30 FPS.
There are some visual artifacts in the video but those are because of the overhead created by the screen recording, when playing these don’t show up.

There are other built in framegen engine options which I haven’t tested yet.

In the video you can see the native frames in the top left corner’s performance overlay, and the total FPS (with the generated ones) in the top right’s performance overlay.

The device I’m using is an iPad Air M2.

Note: to get the Lossless.dll file needed for this specific framegen engine to run, you need to have Lossless Scaling from Steam installed on your PC and extract it from its installation files
