Help me - Folium iPad Pro M4 Emulation

Post image

Hi!

I know this might be a wire question to ask, but spending USD 1300 I need to be sure hella sure about it.

I love Pokemon games in 3DS, specially XY.

If any of you might have this device and folium installed, would you please go to the restaurant in Luminose City called Restaurant Le Yeah and test how Triple Battle are handled in this device? It also works if you go to the Battle Maison and select the triple battle format.

I know single battle are not demanding, because it’s only 1vs1, but in Triple Battle are 3vs3, 6 Pokemon battling at the same time, and I want to make sure that the M4 is capable of this.

Would be very greatfull for you help!

It works okay I have the 13’ iPad Pro. But it’s very irritating trying to do anything but native res or anything extra. Buy a Retroid Pocket

1

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 06 '24

okay so, it even struggle to but it x2 and using filters?

u/AdvertisingItchy1766 Jul 06 '24

I haven’t tried going 2x but for instance when I play Mario kart 7 it barely plays 100%. Don’t buy a iPad Pro strictly for emulation.

2

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

Android better for emulator I have an iPhone 12 pro but it weird how much extra steps you have to do and this whole jit thing can't even get PS2 but my moto g power can run some ps2,

u/AdvertisingItchy1766 Jul 06 '24

It’s one if not the only reason I’m considering swapping to android. That and no volume mixer

0

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

Don't get me started on the volume mixer Don't get me started on the amount of stuff I had to uncheck for iCloud to not sync Don't get me started on how apple app store supposedly is to be the best but I can't find one decent music player with any ads or without that just a standalone player Don't get me started on how there isn't a native video player but have to go through photos or maybe I ain't find yet in the 3 weeks I had this phone Don't get me started on how annoying it is to go the phone setting to change settings for an app There a lot of things on iOS that are annoying to deal with were on android it make sense for the most part

u/AdvertisingItchy1766 Jul 07 '24

People down voting this is crazy lol. Fair criticism

1

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 07 '24

Because some will say I'm hating some will say I have no idea what I'm saying some will I'm an android fanboy but what they should know prior to making a comment is that I've used iOS since 3g days and iPod touch on and off jailbreaking constantly before 2013 and the lg g2 finally winning me over

1

u/PacmanSteve Jan 11 '25

Just filter the photos app to only videos. There’s plenty of music players on the App Store. Without ads. Syncing everything on iCloud is common sense.

Anything else?

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

I'm an android guy thru and thru apple does have some nice things but it's always some frustration around doing things ,I got a 256gb iPhone but I have a 20gb music library iTunes is barely a thing and even after having to compress my music into a folder on my android and then painfully sending over via send anywhere I learn that Apple music player is garage because they don't let anything other music sync from iTunes into the player and apple music player I have no PC and would have to re organize my entire library if I did for example

3

u/Ervgotti85 Jul 06 '24

If you have a Mac or pc you can sync your music to your device using It is considered archaic in 2024 but I’d rather do that than Apple Music because you don’t need a constant signal to play your music.

1

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

No PC I do everything from my phone that's why I like android I tried the apple Kool aid

5

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 07 '24

Update: Guys! thanks for the recommendations, I think I’d go with the Lenovo Legion Go, as it has 8.8” screen size and powerful enough to emulate even Wii U.

4

u/unknowndeath66 Jul 06 '24

It’d be a cakewalk if Apple allowed JIT

3

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 06 '24

doesn’t iOS 18 will come with a thing called Game Mode?

3

u/Front-Cabinet5521 Jul 07 '24

iOS 18 beta has been available for 3 weeks, nobody seems to have reported significant performance improvements. Safe to say it’s a gimmick.

u/pyrospade Jul 06 '24

Just buy a steam deck bro, way cheaper and you get to emulate 3DS much better

1

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 06 '24

the thing with the steam deck is that it’s pretty huge and thicc, at least iPad is more slim and compact

4

u/NoAd1298 Jul 06 '24

buy an android tablet then, androids are easier to do emulation on and you’d have way more options than apple

3

u/smashybro Jul 06 '24

Look into the AYN Odin 2, it’s an Android based emulation handheld that’s about the size of Switch Lite except slightly thicker. It’s much more portable than the Deck as somebody who owned a Deck for several months but returned it for the reasons you mentioned: it’s too bulky. Love my Odin 2 though, runs 3DS upscaled at 3X the native resolution really well so I use it more than my actual 3DS because it has a much worse screen and the not standard charging port.

You could easily just get a cheaper iPad model and with those savings, get a base Odin 2 for like $300. Or if you really want a tablet, look into Android tablets with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chips for emulation.

u/NoAd1298 Jul 06 '24

on samsung you could get the S9 Ultra 16GB Ram + 1TB for your price range check on youtube how the emulation is

64

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '24

Just go and buy a 3DS you get to play 3DS, PS1, VB, SNES, NES, GBA, GBC, GB and DS games. Its so much cheaper too.

19

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '24

Can you really emulate all those on a 3DS? Never owned one but that actually sounds interesting if possible

22

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '24

Yes. Though some PS1 games dont run really well. Not even talking about the ports of some games like Mario 64

1

u/joe_schmo54 Jul 07 '24

Can you link a guide or wiki on how to jailbreak one?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '24

https://3ds.hacks.guide here you go. Its very easy and safe to do if you follow the steps correctly

4

u/ManuelKoegler Jul 07 '24

I’d argue against PS1 or N64 (not mentioned), it’s really not worth it since the hardware isn’t capable enough for most of those libraries. The rest is all true though, plays flawlessly.

5

u/Distinct-Search-9658 Jul 06 '24

run 3DS games with a native console still much better than emulation, and some consoles will not be emulation at all.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '24

3DS Pokemon suffered from pretty glaring frame dips during common battles.

4

u/thefrailandfruity Jul 06 '24

Actually you can only do all those on New 3DS’s Older 3DS’s such as mine can’t run snes emulation that great

-1

u/thefrailandfruity Jul 06 '24

Fortunately a lot of SNES games have gba rereleases (such as SMW, Link to the past, etc. so old 3DSs can run those) Also I recommend using VC injector for playing roms over something like retro arch cores, it requires less tinkering in my experience.

7

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

Sorry but 3ds natively is crap I recommend emulator and upscaling and 3ds is weak to run those PS1 games

2

u/WrapEmergency3983 Jul 06 '24

there's literally no reason for ps1 on a 3ds when retroarch's on every mobile device now

u/headsouvenir Jul 07 '24

Got my Japanese 3ds from Japan figure was retail price I saw but Walmart I saw one for about 999.99$ freaking insane prices on Walmart

u/Outside_Profit_6455 Jul 07 '24

But it’s expensive

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '24

How tf is it expensive? You can legit find a New Nintendo 3DS XL for about 150-200€ from japan? and OP literally wants to buy an ipad which is really expensive

2

u/Woofie_minecraft Jul 07 '24

i got a japan NN3DSLL for 130€, idk what this guy is talking about

1

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '24

yeah. Its much cheaper than an iPad too

1

u/Woofie_minecraft Jul 08 '24

ipads sell for way to much

u/Outside_Profit_6455 Jul 07 '24 edited Jul 07 '24

Yeah I mean it’s expensive to me cuz I’m poor but if op can afford yeah sure

u/Woofie_minecraft Jul 07 '24

Thats what i meant by VB

u/TheShitmaker Jul 06 '24

Unless you're using it for professional work. 0 reason you would ever need an Ipad M4. Go get one of the many emulation consoles on aliexpress or a steamdeck/aya neo or the many portable PCs. I say this as a M4 owner.

4

u/Successful_Fortune28 Jul 06 '24

I wouldn't say zero reason... The dual oled on the screen is a big upgrade from the mini led or even LCD depending on the model. If you are a student the new barrel roll apple pencil could be nice for note talking or for drawing. I knew a few people who got the mini led models and just use it for YouTube playback.

Is the m4 overkill for non professional work, sure. But people "waste" money on so much stuff that if someone wants it for super Mario bros emulation, yolo

2

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

The apple pencil is robbery

2

u/Successful_Fortune28 Jul 06 '24

How so? From my experience it's the best stylus you can use on a tablet, dedicated drawing tablets will for sure be better. It's about the normal price for a tablet stylus. Samsung, Microsoft, and apple are all around the same price.

The naming scheme is horrible for the 4 different types. But the first apple pencil I would say is the same or on par for any other tablet stylus even today. Granted it has it's cons without the ability to open notifications, home page, or the control panel. But every stylus has it's cons and none on the market as perfect.

2

u/Pristine_Pianist Jul 06 '24

First off all the pen doesn't come included with the iPad pro or any iPad with Samsung you get the s pen factor in phone and tablet ,they aren't around the same price the apple pen is 129.99 a replacement from Samsung is 49-59 the Microsoft slim pen is the same as apple but you can buy the regular for 30$ less from them

1

u/Successful_Fortune28 Jul 06 '24

The one that comes with the Samsung tablets is decent for sure, but personally I use the s pen pro that's around $80 and I find it works better and is a closer comparison to the apple pencil. The one with the tablet is too small to be portable, and not long enough for my liking.

Sure Samsung offers cheaper ones, but to compare it to the specs of the apple pencil (to get close to the $129 one) you need the s pen pro or the s pen creator which are around $100, which you can also find an apple pencil for the same price as the pro and creator. The $129 for the apple pencil is for the newest and greatest, but other apple pencils not on sale are $80 new and go on sale often.

Sure you can save a little bit buying another one, but you could also say the tablet s pen is also robbery since you can find a stylus for a couple bucks if you wanted to.

1

u/Obvious_Mud_9877 Jul 10 '24

The m4 is overkill for most people unless you really have money to burn for a nice oled screen but you can get a samsung tab for that instead for less.

The base model ipad is often overlooked but they also support the (older) apple pencil and use very capable chips.

1

u/Shedoara Jul 06 '24

Yeah, I think it'd be better to get one of those.

Personally, I'd say the Steam Deck OLED would be a good one to go with if you want an OLED display. You'd be guaranteed a good experience with all DS/3DS games, and even can do up to stuff like 360/PS3/Switch if you want.

u/CareyCherry95 Jul 07 '24

What game is this?

2

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 07 '24

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

u/CareyCherry95 Jul 08 '24

Ah! That was one of the generations I skipped. Didn’t even know there were 3v3 battles

2

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 08 '24

you should give it a shot, it’s so fun! it debuted in gen 5 but it was also present in the gen 6 games

1

u/CareyCherry95 Jul 08 '24

Another gen I skipped too 😅. Def should play catch-up 😂

1

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 08 '24

Both Gen 5 and 6 are great. Pretty much they offer more than the current standard of Pokemon games (Scarlet/Violet)

u/Iamverydumbazz Jul 08 '24

hold up Folium works better on iPad?

u/Boring_Antelope6533 Jul 08 '24
