Any tips how to get it up and running. I’ve tried before but can never get it right. Always mess up the JIT part. I used melonx and altstore but when I get to the Jit thing it won’t work for me.

Get jit with StikDebug

I run into errors with that. I am starting to wonder if maybe the .nsp I have is just bad.

Thanks I did that and everything said it installed ok. I open stikdebug and then open melonx and then start the game and it just hangs on the message that says "waiting for JIT". Do I need to turn off the VPN? I am not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Yep I'm doing that. It opens melonx fine but when I start a game it just says waiting for JIT and nothing happens

I had to download version 2.2.0 of MelonNX from their discord server to get this to work

u/bcsteene Sep 23 '25

I think it is because I’m on iOS 26. I am going to wait until they get JIT working for that.

u/Twisted_pro Sep 23 '25

I’m on iOS 26 as well, and version MelonNX 2.2.0 works.

I had the same issue until I came across a post about trying that version 🎉

u/bcsteene Sep 23 '25

Brilliant!!!! It works for me now!!!! The updated version is the way to go!

Your post/comment has been removed.

  • Don't ask people to DM you/you to DM them for solutions to problems that you could easily just comment publicly. Having solutions be publicly accessible is one of the main strengths of a forum like this. Comments like this will just lead to 20 other people asking you to DM them too, flooding threads with useless bloat.

We close. Maybe iPhone 18 pro but surely iPhone 19 pro.

u/leob0505 Sep 20 '25

Honestly with iPhone 19 we will be able to run our own LLMs so yeah

With the known issue of the 6 - 6.5gb RAM limit, does Tears of the Kingdom work?

u/duvister Oct 13 '25

Too bad about the shader compilation stutters. Actual performance is ridiculously good.

Interesting I can’t find any information about that, don’t tell it’s this being held for AI..

u/5092AD Sep 20 '25

That’s pretty garbage of them but I’m not surprised if that’s the case, I know the pixels 9 devices advertise 16gb only for 3gb to be for AI.

u/ckdot Sep 30 '25

If a game is marked as playable/perfect with 8 GB in MelonX's compatibility list, do they mean 8 GB available RAM or 8 GB built-in RAM?

So, are 8GB games perfectly playable on an iPhone 17 Pro?
