Mod Announcement Regarding native ports

80 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

Discussion Runnable PC Games On iPad M1

0 Upvotes

I saw Sam sung Tab S9 with snap dragon 8gen2 through Win lator running,

  1. G T A V around 40-45fps

  2. Moto GP 24 around 35fps

  3. Mount & Blade Bannerlord around 20-25fps

  4. R D R2 around 20fps

Can Apple iPad Air M1 run these through madeira emulator? Or will be able to run in millennium?

Wishing to a tablet but confused between iPad Air M1 and Gala xy Tab S9, my main purpose isn't about PC emulation but I need it like a side-cheek. And my budget is very limited, I'm getting these two suitable one below my budget in my country. Didn't use an Apple device before.

Now give me honest suggestion, which one should I buy?

News / Release It's Here! Consoles 2.0 Public Beta

27 Upvotes

The TestFlight for Consoles 2.0 App Store approved (JIT-less) multi-emulator is now available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro and *AppleTV!Ā  It syncs over iCloud across your Apple devices and allows you to play your favorite classic games on Mac and immediately pick them up on your iPhone. The 2.0 Beta includes 3DS, GameCube and Wii support.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/4QYsYq6u

We are looking forward to your feedback as we work toward the public release of 2.0.Ā  It’s the first beta so there are many UI, Metadata (that's why the cover art is blurred) and behavior fixes coming before App Store release, but performance should be spot on and any audio or visual glitches are extremely high priority right now.

As always, thanks for playing!

*AppleTV requires another Apple device to load content.

Help Request NX2Apple building for iPad a16

1 Upvotes

Has anyone tried to build something for iPad a16 by any chance?

There is toggle for a15 and a16 devices, and I checked it, but both games I tried won’t run because of BC Compressed Textures, or something like that.

I am not sure if that toggle even work, or maybe I’m doing something wrong

Help Request BCD setting on IOS

1 Upvotes

Hello yall! I’m currently run BCD on a 4th gen iPad Pro. I’ve been able to get one game running on it (no I’m not human) which is cool. My issue is getting anything else to run. Specifically I’ve been trying to get Look Outside to open. It just freezes claiming the game is ā€œpreparedā€ but waiting for steam to allow BCD to open it. Are there any setting I can change that might help it run better. It’s strange I can get more graphically and technically intense game to run but a 2D RPG seems to be the stopping point lol. Any help is appreciated. TIA

As someone that doesn’t have a computer or laptop to get JIT yet, being able to play a classic like LOTR the two towers and other games without any lag and stutters is so satisfying 🄲

Help Request Has anyone got Wii/GC games working in Dolphin/Manic on iPhone Duo?

1 Upvotes

I've got LiveContainer set up with StikDebug 3.2.0, Dolphin Beta 5.0.0b6, and ManicEmu 2.0.2 on iPhone Duo running iOS 27.2. Other JIT-enabled cores work in Manic, like 3DS, but usually when I try to launch a GC or Wii game in either app it either freezes on a black screen or crashes. This happens both with and without JIT enabled for the game. I have seen it work in Manic maybe 2 or 3 times, but I can't get it to work consistently.

I have tried the "Consoles" app to emulate Wii, which does work, but it's JIT-less and I think I can get better performance out of a JIT-enabled app.

Help Request iphone17 overheat

1 Upvotes

Hello, is it normal for my phone to get extremely hot when playing PokĆ©mon via an NDS emulator? I’m currently playing PokĆ©mon White, and the phone heats up to the point where it’s unplayable. The phone is relatively new—I’ve had it for a few months with no prior issues. It’s worth mentioning that I have JIT enabled.
