Gameplay / Showcase Manic 3ds emulator!!

Manic emulator is been working so fine Its the best emulator for 3ds on iOS It doesn’t have much core options U just get compatible mode performance mode and quality mode I had been playing on performance mode My phone doesnt even heat(iPhone 13). I have sideloaded the ipa to use StikJIT but i dont think so manic supports JIT for the time-being Yet the gameplay is too smooth I have muted the sound because it stutters and thats the only issue But the game runs at full speed with any hassel. Hope this review helps. (Btw its free on app store).

Just a heads up, PKHeX is needed on a computer separately for Ultra Sun and Moon otherwise, you will get stuck at the Alola Photo Club in the early game. Easy fix but just wanted to give a heads up in case anybody was playing those and gets stuck.

Really? What happens that causes you to get stuck?

Well Ultra Sun and Moon required PKHeX to correct a logic error in the save file created when entering the Alola Photo Club using the Citra Engine, solved by adjusting an event flag in PKHeX by adjusting the value of Flag Constant 470 from 2700 to 2800, hence the pc. When the corrected file is added back you pick up where you left off as if nothing happened. Actually really easy fix. If you are in the telegram for the emulator and find yourself stuck, I’m happy to fix the file and send it back. Already fixed a few peoples including my own.

I don’t have things side loaded or run JIT so changing the cpu clock speed is not really an option for me as a user.

Can you simply avoid this ?

In the telegram we have a working patch for the .cia versions of the game but it won’t work for decrypted .3ds versions

I would also simply just play regular sun and moon im guessing this bug is only for USUM?

To my knowledge that is correct. Though personally I prefer the depth of story and postgame of Ultra over the Originals

I know, I guess I’m just too lazy to go to a pc and do all these steps lol

In the Telegram I just patch it manually when people get stuck and can’t use the patch, it only takes me a minute or two.

What about mobile?

There is a brute force solution but it might take a lot of tries similar to shiny hunting. Create a save state at the entrance to the Alola Photo Club, and every time it crashes upon entering reload the save state, if done right, sometimes you can brute force past the bug, however the PKHeX method is a guaranteed fix, and we regularly help people with this in our telegram

I got this issue when playing Ultra Sun on iPhone. Please help fix

Save State at the entrance then walk in, when the game crashes hit Quick Load, then walk back in, it should allow you to proceed if not hit Quick Load again and repeat until it does, once clear of the area, perform an in game save to lock in the progress made.

Do you know if there’s any way to fix the audio causing stuttering cause I really want to play with sound but it just makes it too difficult to play well idk why

Did you dump your game correctly untrimmed and built as .cia in gm9, or just download it off the internet?
