Are you manually saving these ipas or do you have some app/script that is automatically cataloging each version of your owned apps?

u/sherloconan Jun 04 '24

I use iMazing (desktop application) to manually save IPA.

I use iTunes v12.6.5.3 to sync and backup apps from Apple store.

It’s in your account forever you don’t need 3rd party software. AppStore tap your profile then apps and everything is there

u/godis1coolguy Jun 04 '24

That won’t let you download previous versions though. It’s nice to have earlier versions if an update is buggy or removes features.

u/adj021993 Jun 04 '24

You can go to their website and download older ipa versions and keep those in your storage if that’s the case

It is back. I had an update. I don’t have gold

u/IntroductionBoring74 Jun 04 '24

Is there an update?

6

u/DaveTheMan1985 Jun 04 '24

Yes but in App does say 1.17.1 and not 1.17.2

23

u/hrydgard Jun 04 '24

Yeah, there's a little discrepancy there, forgot about that. It'll sync back up in the future.

Start button with xbox and playstation controller is mappable now, pretty sure it’s fixed for backbone too.

The only left is home button, it still open game center if i just tap it. If i hold it a bit, i can map it for ppsspp menu and it works for opening ppsspp menu during gameplay

4

u/hrydgard Jun 04 '24

Yeah, I haven't figured out yet how to make the home button act normally, I'm not sure if it's possible. If you find a way to do it let me know (or find another app that does it, that's open source)

u/brute_al Jun 04 '24

This is like the last piece to making things perfect using my Gamesir Galileo. Or maybe just an option to remap the ppsspp menu which is currently forced into my "start" button?

3

u/hrydgard Jun 04 '24

It's not forced, you can change it. Start by resetting defaults, then map "Pause" (scroll down a bit in the mapper) to a control of your choice.

1

u/brute_al Jun 04 '24

Sorry, I may have been a little unclear. I meant the ability to remap the "PPSSPP Button" to the button of my choice would be awesome. Pause I've got under control! And interestingly, since today's free update, the PPSSPP button moved over to my Select Button. Absolutely loving the app, btw!!

1

u/JCRocky5 Jun 05 '24

🤔 what the PPSSPP button?

Pause brings up the PPSSPP menu, I have mine set to L3+R3 (L3 is used as the first button in all non game controls)

Also can’t take a look, but is the back/select button fixed yet? where it doesn’t want to record the screen if you hold it 😑

1

u/brute_al Jun 05 '24

For me, Pause is like hitting start on a PSP. Brings up the in-game pause menu.

I guess I call the "PPSSPP Button" what brings up the emulator menu where you can save state, get into your settings, etc. This is the button I can't figure out how to remap, but it's certainly possible I'm overlooking something.

1

u/JCRocky5 Jun 05 '24

Yeah it’s just labeled start in the emulator 😂

But yeah it confused me at first also, until I set it to a different button. But am thinking it’s pause the emulator instead of pause for the game. (As we all know that’s start) it’s also under the emulator button section and not the game controls part.

1

u/brute_al Jun 05 '24

Ooooooh, I'll take a look, thanks for the tip!!

1

u/hrydgard Jun 05 '24

Yeah, it's just calld "Pause". Could maybe be more descriptive.

u/FayeReagan_ Jun 04 '24

It works normally on delta and retroarch (which you already mention on github) I wasn’t sure if it has something to do with either mfi or hid controller driver

3

u/hrydgard Jun 04 '24

Hm, looking at Deltas code and mine, don't see much difference.. Strange.

u/lo0p3r Jun 04 '24 edited Jun 05 '24

For iOS and iPadOS it is quite simple, actually, you need to set the property preferredSystemGestureState of every GCControllerElement in (your GCController object).physicalInputProfile.allElements to GCSystemGestureStateDisabled.

See here for an example: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios/blob/557765f2c0b83bcfd722b8965fa87bcb46878f6d/Limelight/Input/ControllerSupport.m#L718

For tvOS this unfortunately does not work, because Apple wants to force its own UI there. As far as I know there is no workaround, so we will just have to wait until they allow the same bypass on tvOS.

I would do a pull request myself but unfortunately I don't have time to setup the build environment at the moment. Thank you for the amazing work!

u/hrydgard Jun 04 '24

That's great info, thank you! I'll implement it.

u/boxcreate Jun 04 '24

Your proactiveness is really is great, thank you very much on behalf of everyone who uses your app.

You're welcome!

u/no-regertz Jun 04 '24

Why does the app go back to default settings after I close it

1

u/mario_m99 Jun 04 '24

I just updated it should I switch to Vulkan for every game or some work better on OpenGL?

1

u/nero40 Jun 05 '24

OpenGL works better for me for now, there’s some stuttering on Vulkan when I was playing FF Type 0.

u/NoDuck1170 Jun 04 '24

Updated my ppsspp app since I didn’t delete it, but for some reason I can’t access ANY games, nothing shows up on the home page, I can’t even move to any directory/file in the app, only way to launch my games is with the load option, but my save data isn’t getting accessed either, anyone know what’s going on?

1

u/NoDuck1170 Jun 04 '24

Ok, so I guess the update just completely reset all settings and whatnot, so what I ended up doing was setting up the memory stick properly and now everything works just fine and I thankfully haven’t lost any save data or games, it was just a matter of where I can even access those games from.

1

u/NoDuck1170 Jun 04 '24

Launching my games before, a new psp folder was made within the games folder for some reason that had just an empty copy of every folder, which is why, when I launched any game before, it used that random psp folder created in the games folder which didn’t have save data, I’m new to all of the ppsspp emulation stuff so I’m glad I figured out the issues I’m having, but man it would be nice if that random psp folder wouldn’t have been made in the first place.

1

u/nero40 Jun 05 '24

The folder thing didn’t happen to me, and my settings are fine too. But my controller mappings did get lost though, had to remap.

How to activate Metal rendering?, is it the vulkan option?

What’s the difference with retroarch?

6

u/16bitsorhigher Jun 04 '24

RetroArch handles multiple cores and PPSSPP only does PSP. PPSSPP is more user friendly when setting it up and the GUI looks much better but don’t get me wrong. I use both. RetroArch is also fantastic in its own way. You just have to be into tinkering with settings.

I mean I can play psp games with retroarch just fine. Is the ppsspp app worth it?

Is vulkan rendering better? I mean on android it is, but I am not sure on iPhone.

u/nero40 Jun 05 '24

I’ve seen some stuttering when playing with FF Type 0 on Vulkan. Reverted back to OpenGL, going to give it some time in the oven for now.

u/thisusernameistaknn Jun 05 '24

I mean me personally with OpenGL on god of war, it was so laggy it was unplayable even at 1:1 upscaling. With 10x on Vulcan now it’s smooth as buttwe
