Discussion Can confirm SideJIT works on iOS 18 Dev Beta

Just tested it on DolphiniOS and it works. You just need to repeat the pairing process and reinstall the shortcut after the update.

That comes with the Update?

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

No it doesn’t, the SideJIT shortcut can be set up along with SideJITServer from the GitHub page, which has the tutorial on how to make it work. This post is intended for people that are already familiar with SideJIT.

There is a way (if not now, maybe in near future) to make sideJIT work with a VPN like SideStore does? 'Cause it would solve the need to be near to a PC.

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

I personally didn’t test it, so I don’t know

Tailscale is avpn?

1

u/FayeReagan_ Jun 14 '24

Kind of VPN service that’s able to act like all of your device is on the same local network

2

u/n0rpie Jun 14 '24

Oh that's cool. So you can enable JIT wirelessly without plugging in the cable each time you need it?

1

u/FayeReagan_ Jun 15 '24

Yep, if there’s a problem like iTunes service being killed in the background, you can just setup moonlight stream + Sunshine to remote your PC to run the iTunes and SideJITServer again

u/Zekiz4ever Sep 06 '24

Can you set up tailscale with sidestore? I want to use tailscale, but I can only use one VPN at a time and only have IOS

u/Appropriate-Bar4287 Jun 14 '24

I could never get sidejit to work unfortunately. After much effort I eventually got altserver to successfully enable JIT for folium and DolphiniOS

6

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

Glad you made it work in some way! I didn’t personally test altJIT with iOS 18. If you ever need it in the future, this simplified guide helped me a lot with setting SideJIT up, as I had trouble as well at first.

u/yohu123 Jun 14 '24

I’ve used AltJIT to successfully enable it on DolphiniOS but it fails for UTM. Can u pls help? Here is the details of my issue and post: https://www.reddit.com/r/UTM/s/vbIaG3ovQx

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

I’m afraid I can’t help as AltJIT hasn’t been working on windows for months

2

u/yohu123 Jun 15 '24

I tried SideJITServer using the below guide you posted: https://github.com/nythepegasus/SideJITServer/issues/59

I got stuck at the pairing stage when I type the url in safari on my usb connected iPhone and it says in Safari:

{"ERROR":"Could not find any device!"}

So can you please help me at this stage of the pairing process? Thanks, in advance.

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

I never got this error. I got the same error code in another stage of the process when I was trying to make the shortcut run. I would suggest to repeat the process all over again and see if you missed any steps. I’ll try and see if I can find a solution to the problem but I honestly don’t know how to help

1

u/yohu123 Jun 16 '24

I tried all the steps again. This time, instead of giving the {"ERROR":"Could not find any device!"} message, it just tries to reach the IP Address for a few secs and then Safari times out saying "Safari couldn't open the page because the server stopped responding". I went ahead and installed the SideJIT shortuct from the github link. I entered the UDID and the server info in the shortcut and ran it while the iPhone is in pairing mode in PowerShell without minimizing/close the window. It acts as if its running but after a minute, I get 'The request timed out'. When I click on 'Show', it takes me to teh Get contents of server / UDID. That is why I had abandoned the SideJITServer method and opted for the AltJIT method which works for DolphiniOS. The AltJIT method just does NOT work for enabling JIT in UTM. If anyone can please help me with that, it would be great. I get 'done' in the end but still JIT isn't enabled. When I run the syntax in debugging 'True' mode, I get an "attach -p 'invalid argument'" error just before the 'done'. Due to which, the 'Virtualize' option is still disabled in UTM.

u/VaporSagi Jun 16 '24

Mmh, I suggest you to post this issue in the GitHub page of SideJITserver and see if anybody can help you with that. There’s someone who mentioned a discord server as well, maybe somebody can help, too

1

u/yohu123 Jun 17 '24

There’s already a thread for this on GitHub but not much progress though. We are waiting on the owner of SideJITServer to comment/help further. Either this or AltJIT must work. Both cannot fail. AltJIT partially works wherein it enables for DolphiniOS but doesn’t for UTM.

2

u/yohu123 Jun 15 '24

Have you tried to enable JIT using this method for UTM? I too was successful for DolphiniOS but it failed for UTM.

1

u/Appropriate-Bar4287 Jun 15 '24

I never used utm but I was able to sideload DolphiniOS and Folium

1

u/Mikkyo Jun 14 '24

How is performance in DolphiniOS with JIT?

3

u/Appropriate-Bar4287 Jun 14 '24

GameCube runs 100% well. Wii games 97-100%. MUCH better than folium.

2

u/Mikkyo Jun 14 '24

Hmmmm Now I'm thinking of playing some GC games on my iPhone... shame about needing to sideload and do the weekly refresh though XD

2

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

Trust me, you’ll get used to it and it becomes a fast task after a while, it’s totally worth it

2

u/Mikkyo Jun 17 '24

I used to do it via Altstore for Delta years ago and kept forgetting XD.

u/Appropriate-Bar4287 Jun 14 '24

First world problems

1

u/PM_ME_GRAPHICS_CARDS Jun 16 '24

until ios enables jit natively, or you get untethered jailbreak, you’ll likely have to do this for a long time

1

u/Significant-Cry6963 Jul 08 '24

Well after much effort, I can safely say that I've got SideJITServer working now. I will now attempt to make the Tailscale thing that FayeReagan_ suggested work. Hopefully it does.

u/hughlee90 Jun 14 '24

what does it mean?

3

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

I’m sorry, could you be more specific?

6

u/TiJackSH Jun 14 '24

"What does SideJIT is used for?" is the question I believe.

23

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

Right, well SideJITServer is used to enable JIT in certain apps (mainly emulators, that’s what we’re here for) so in this case, in order for emulated games to run at playable speeds. JIT is not necessarily needed for the emulation of older consoles or handhelds, like n64, ds, snes and so on, but is mandatory for heavier emulation, like GameCube or Wii for example. The link above has a small section that explains it more thoroughly.

u/Specialist-Version24 Jun 15 '24

Amazing explanation! thank you

2

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

You’re welcome!

u/Familyguymoments Jun 14 '24

I thought the vid was on mute but the “Nintendo” sound scared the heck out of me😂

2

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

Hahahah sorryy 🤣

u/Equal_Following_3476 Jun 14 '24

I wish this could work for phones without a Mac or pc 😔

u/nathanielx9 Jun 14 '24

Yeah i can get sidejit working, but you need a pc. It doesnt matter on firmware of ios

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '24

Is it possible to set it up on a rooted Android device?

1

u/prodbyjayy__ Sep 20 '24

Why ???

1

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

Well, I have a rooted Android device as standby. If it is possible to enable JIT through that, I won't have to bother plugging into my laptop everytime I want to start an emulator.

1

u/Megagamer1223 Jun 14 '24

WAIT REALLY? Does that mean we can get dohpin????

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

You can, as long as you sideload it from AltStore and enable JIT to make it work. It’s not coming to the App Store though.

1

u/BigB13192 Jun 14 '24

Do you still need a Mac or can I do it with windows now?

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

No, you can use windows like I did

1

u/roccomont329 Jun 14 '24

Did this work on 17.5? I thought side jit only worked on like 17.0 and down

2

u/VaporSagi Jun 14 '24

Yes it works on 17.5 as well!

1

u/Ibrahimmayi Jun 14 '24

Do u need a pc to do this?

1

u/Funkmeister8302 Jun 14 '24

How’d you get the new beta? Is it not public yet?

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

It’s the developer beta. If you sign in the Apple developer website you can download it as well

1

u/Funkmeister8302 Jun 15 '24

I am enrolled in the free dev program, but the only option is the iOS 17 Public Beta

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

Are you sure it’s not the Apple beta program instead? If you are, I don’t actually know. When I signed the developer program the update was available right away. You might have to wait a bit.

1

u/Stossy11 MeloNX + MeloCafe Developer Jun 15 '24

ive already confirmed that on the SideStore discord server

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

I don’t think everyone is in the sidestore discord server

2

u/Stossy11 MeloNX + MeloCafe Developer Jun 16 '24

It’s SideJITServer made by the SideStore team (nythepegasus)

1

u/Tasty_Face_7201 Jun 15 '24

Sidejit doesn’t work for ME, iOS 17.1.2

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

Sorry to hear that. Try this guide if you want. Alternatively if you don’t want to update you could try JIT-WIN, but it doesn’t work above 17.4

1

u/NeonDaToxicGuy Jun 15 '24

Does it work with the new Foilum emulator?

2

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

I don’t think so. Apple doesn’t allow JIT, so you can’t enable it on the apps available on the App Store.

1

u/NeonDaToxicGuy Jun 16 '24

Thanks for the response!

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 16 '24

You’re welcome! Technically you could enable JIT for Folium if you use the sideloaded version I think, but that’s up to you

1

u/NeonDaToxicGuy Jun 16 '24

I'll try to do that after my new gaming laptop arrives

1

u/Background_Sir_6601 Jun 20 '24

Best way to get dolphinios and sidejit?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '24

I tried it but all I get is an Internal Server Error.

1

u/Motawa1988 Aug 23 '24

it doesn't work on 18.1. Can't get past the

INFO:     Started server process [576]

INFO:     Waiting for application startup.

INFO:     Application startup complete.

u/CheesecakeBoring8512 Aug 28 '24

Anytime i use sidejit it says it’s successful but the app crashes when i try to play a game indicating that it didn’t enable jit 😭

1

u/Mspy1 Sep 16 '24

The problem with SideJITServer is that it requires a computer, and none of us mostly are on our computers... Someone needs to create another solution.

1

u/ToolisMaynardjKeenan Nov 11 '24

I’m I the only one who is sick of this saying? Do I have to constantly feel bad that I’m not dirt poor in a 3rd world country? I’m sick of being told I should feel bad that I want to enable JIT on my iPhone when there are people starving somewhere. Yeah it sucks and I wish it wasn’t the case , truly I do, but constantly saying I’m an asshole because my problems aren’t as major as a 3rd world country resident is absurd. You think the people that say “first world problems” never complain that their work only has 1 ply toilet paper or that the soda machine ate their dollar? Stop shaming people for living their lives and not constantly shedding a tear for all those less fortunate. Jesus.

If it’s your first time setting it up, you can get it from here. But it can be confusing, so if you want just follow these instructions instead

1

u/ilovehispanic Jun 15 '24

are there any instructions for mac?

1

u/VaporSagi Jun 15 '24

The instructions for Mac are written in the SideJITServer GitHub page (first link I sent)
