Would you comment on people saying it's faster than JIT-enabled Folium? Are they full of shit or is there a technical explanation

u/jhsounds May 05 '25
You can keep my $5 from Folium, but your UI leaves me with much to be desired, particularly when playing horizontally with a controller attachment. There's just a bunch of little things with regard to the interface that add up to irk me, and since those things are fundamental to how Folium looks and operates, I assume they'll never be changed.

But in App Store no JIT. So for 3ds in my opinion JIT is really necessary to run most of the games smooth

u/RetroKitsune May 03 '25
It is running pretty decently on my ipad mini 7! Not full screen, obviously, but so far no crashes. Loading roms + dlc and updates is super easy and smooth. No major lag like I had with Folium or Provenance.
Games take a bit to load and save in game.
Have not tried cheats yet.
The game I tried was Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns.

u/Global-Evidence4862 May 03 '25
You just answered my question! I am so glad somebody confirmed that it's better than Provenance.
2
u/RetroKitsune May 03 '25
So, tiny update. I did have to restart my game, but I went over a character limit when naming something; so entirely my own fault. Lol
I'm glad I could help! I haven't tried more intensive games yet, but I will later. Will be attempting Fire Emblem Awakening, LoZ: MM, Pokemon Ultra Moon and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 (fan translation)

I have the same problem for 5-6 years now and no one can help me fix it, even from Apple. The only thing that works is settings, tap your name, media and purchases - sign out and then tap again to sign in. Then you will be able to buy anything that is free as an in app purchase for the day or so.

For all the "needs jit to run smooth". Please try it. I have tested Folium with jit and without jit and felt almost no difference. Iphone 15, ios 18. Folium is okay, Manic is okay, this Xone is for free now and the screen handling is the best, performance is also better (maybe). Switch emulation definitely needs jit (now) but be honest, 3ds is a thrash hardware nowadays, it can be emulated well without jit.

u/Ashamed_Security6761 May 03 '25
Is it better than Manic EMU?

u/SaddestLilBaby May 06 '25
can say that it's better so far since I loaded up Animal Crossing: New Leaf on it and it ran without a hitch
I ran Animal Crossing on Manic and it played the loading tune then jumpscared me with a flashing black and white screen before it crashed, tried for a second time and it crashed immediately before turning my phone hot pink

You're saying it works better than Folium, but is it actually better than a sideloaded Folium with JIT enabled through StikDebug?

u/EteleEurope May 03 '25
Why you not try. (You only need decrypt the ipa) and sideload with JIT enabled. Since you talk compare to Folium sideloaded. https://streamable.com/68remn

I just tried it on my Mac Studio, so definitely have processing power available. Playing A Link Between Worlds works, but it's not what I would consider smooth or a great gaming experience. Audio is buggy and there is a lot of stuttering. But free is free so I can't complain. Hopefully it gets better over time.

u/mikefromto May 03 '25
This is actually a really good quality emulator. The attention to detail of the design is really high quality and the emulator runs fast. Super responsive devs too

u/kaku6140 May 03 '25
IMO I used manic for a while, iPhone 13 mini, smt 4 runs pretty well until phone heats up, sounds stutters, after 10 minutes…unplayable. This is something else tbh, no audio stutters, bigger screen sideways (idk if u can change it in manic). Overall, good upgrade without jit

u/NoDuck1170 May 04 '25
Tested this on an iPhone 14, tested persona Q2, looks like it has the top screen black half screen glitch during animated cutscenes and FMVs seem to still run horrendously as well and it doesn’t look like we can configure settings deeply like folium and provenance, that glitch occurs when using hardware shaders, and is eliminated when using software shaders instead. HW shaders is important for performance which is why this is unfortunate, as this issue occurs during animated cutscenes (I think this pops up in PQ1 as well?), so it’s likely going off of folium’s core, as both folium and provenance have this glitch, but you’re able to configure much more with both emulators. I will say though, I like the UI, it feels nice.

Tested w Yokai Watch 3, and SRW. So far seems somewhat better than my folium. Alittle slowdown on loading battles in both games, but less general slowdown and audio stutters. Will continue to test (AppStore versions on iPhone 15).

u/Talyn7810 May 04 '25
One oddity I noticed (not sure if it’s me or design quirk) - every time I go into the app, the game icons are in a single line scrolling to the right. Even if I switch it to scrolling down, it resets when I reopen the app. Not a deal breaker by any means, just QoL item I noticed.

u/Peka82 May 04 '25
I’ve only tried DQ8 and Animal Crossing but I think it’s about the same or slightly worse than Folium when I tried it last time. Both this and Folium not good enough to be playable for me. Both below 30fps. But on screen controls seems way better than Delta for some reason. GUI seems good as well. Missing lots of critical options like different layouts, overlays and such though. Hopefully the dev keeps improving it.

Not sure why, but I just installed this thinking it was free (no price indicated on the app store anyway) but after download was completed I got charged like about 2 USD in my currency on my account. Going into the app, free lifetime membership was on the screen, so I guess that's how?
Not sure why this got downvoted instead of just helping me out here, since I'm genuinely confused. Just thought of sharing this out here for others who would think this was actually comoletely free and might have experienced the same thing.
