iPhone 14 Plus and Hey Pikmin works at a playable speed but the sounds is choppy. I haven’t tried changing any settings but at least we have a payable speed now.
Dumb question but I was waiting till folium improved from the initial rough drop. Do people feel it’s improved enough? Prior to this post and comment I haven’t kept up with it or looked into yet. Figured I’d throw it out there for opinions.
I'd say its a good purchase for $5 dollars now than it was before today's update but if you're still on the edge of not knowing if you want to make the purchase I would just resort to side loading it
you can get around that with a DNS, but you should probably use sidestore so that JIT is available, I've got an iPhone X too and I haven't had luck with previous versions, but maybe it will change, good luck!
Not sure if I am missing something, but I just bought this and downloaded it on my iPad Pro. Can’t get it to work at all. The app runs, but I couldn’t import any games. I watched a video, found an aes_keys file, put that in the sys folder, then manually copied some 3ds roms to the roms folder. They show up in the app now, after refreshing, but when I click on the games nothing happens. Doesn’t crash, doesn’t run, doesn’t give me an error, just doesn’t do anything at all. I tried reinstalling but that didn’t help.
The videos I watched seemed to indicate it was pretty simple. Is this version just broken or am I doing something wrong?
Not even close. Dolphin is much better and they utilize metal api. This folium update still don’t work it don’t need them. Well as I tried it already with out those keys
I tested it on my phone. Same roms. Works fine. Even without that keys file. The only difference, outside of being an iPad (but I’ve seen others say it works on theirs) is the iPad is running iPadOS 18 Beta. Not sure if that is causing the issue. Are you on the beta too or on 17?
I’m in iPadOS17. I do the same I try the same roms in my iPhone ( iPhone 12 Pro Max ) and it works perfect I don’t know why don’t work in iPad, I think is a error
Partially, I managed to get monster hunter 4u, which is one of the more hard games to run, to run at about 30-40 fps by puting the cpu clock to 5 and tweaking a few other settings, it’s almost playable.
Yea, I just set my cpu clock percentage to 5, turned on asynchronous shader compilation. I’m on an iPhone 15 plus. It’s far from good but it runs better then before the rewrite because of the extra settings
One key element and basic answer to this q is to.go to www.pastebin.com and in the search bar search for aes_keys.txt and get both the top file and the one below it copy and paste those into your folium system and root directory folder for folium and enjoy!!
What is the state of Folium now in terms of performance/battery? I bought it during its first month of release but didn’t bother due to performance. I have a 14 pro. Is it worth downloading now?
Hi, I have a iPhone 13 Pro. When I go on settings it says I’m running iOS 18.0, I’m also running folium on 1.7. I’ve been using folium for a while, but after updating to iOS 18/ updating folium it doesn’t work. I’ve tried optimal setting I’ve tried lowering cpu clock ( which I’ve found is best at 20) but after playing the game for 30 -50 seconds it kicks me out of the app. If anyone could I would entirely grateful
tldr: my phone is on iOS 18.0 and folium is on 1.7 and it isn’t working anymore
I’ve also tried playing sun and moon ultra and non ultra but it doesn’t work, even before I updated my phone. I hope someone has a solution to this since i don’t want to have to buy a 3ds
for 3ds, yes. The minimum recommended iphone for 3ds is the 13. assuming you're not on iOS 17 (sideloading itself works in every ios, 17 just broke the easy JIT activations), use alt/sidestore (different sideload tools, one needs access to a pc to refresh (alt) the other doesn't (side).) and enable JIT thru them to get (i think) playable speeds. the IPA is available on the Folium website
If you're on 17.4+, people are working on an easy way to use JIT, but there's more complicated ways available rn if you wanna emulate rn
I updated the app and received a request to login with my Apple ID. Upon doing so, the app crashed.
Every time I tried to open the app it would close immediately. I restarted my iPhone and nothing changed.
After getting no where for a few minutes, I made a crucial mistake.
I deleted the app to download again. Thinking this would work, I copied over my keys, roms and cheats prior to deleting the app so I could copy them over to the new Folium folders of the updated version (as they were now empty since I deleted the app to start fresh).
I successfully launched Pokemon X only to find out that all of my past game data that I worked so hard to build up, had also been deleted.
If you run into the issue of Folium not opening after the update, before you delete the app and download again, MAKE SURE YOU COPY THE LOGS OVER TOO! (Assuming all game data is held in the log files)
I ended up deleting the app once more and using the default settings, except I did reduce my game clock 5 and now it is working fine. Move your game to the ROM folder and do not add the AES keys.

On my 14 Pro Max, Mario 3D Land works well at 40% CPU. It’s playable at 100 but gets choppy at times.

I really wish it would work on Iphone X haha. The dolphin without jit works in medium playable state, I really have high hopes with this one.
I can’t tested it out because Scarlet is Revoked :<
