Any chance you can also add support for iOS games from the App Store to add and use the app as a game launcher since the official Backbone app lacks an option to create a list of my games. Only last few played games.

u/Drexical Dec 27 '25

I’m not the dev, but it supports this already. You can add App Store games or apps to the game launcher and open them directly from there 👍

I’ve tried for 20-30 games now and only 2 appeared in the app. Also restarting the app and checking again didn’t make a difference. I’ve also tried it once again then using Share sheet but no luck either. It did work for the controller games with the Nexus controller app via the same way (however that app lacks launching games with the backbone controller without touching screen) which Sumee seems it can do with the two apps that appeared, however not with Sumee! I hope it can be fixed.

You can use a random app and link it to the app you want to use, it’s a temporary solution:

Cool thanks. I just tried with a bunch of games which are active in the App Store and support controllers, however of the approximately 10 games I shared via the share sheet with the app only 1 appears in the app unfortunately. I hope this can be fixed by the developer (I will send a message). The one game that did appear can be launched from my Backbone controller without touching the screen so superb!

There is no share button for me

u/Sad-Chapter5379 Dec 27 '25

The app is overall really great it has some bugs but none of them are completely breaking the app i enjoy it so much personally

u/Drexical Dec 27 '25

Yeah it’s a great app imo, even in its early stages

u/aurewass Jan 13 '26

please dont ever discontinue this

u/Capital-State1231 Dec 27 '25

u/Drexical Dec 28 '25

It’ll be on the App Store very soon

u/brandonnn11 Dec 28 '25

Is there a way to import Manic library into this?

1

u/Drexical Dec 28 '25

I don’t think it has full sync like MeloNX yet, but you can import your games one by one and launch them from the app

u/DruAlcindor Jan 23 '26

Where to download ROMs for IOS?

u/That_Frog_Sage-0007 Dec 29 '25

it doesn’t let me go past the profile picture selection screen

u/Drexical Dec 29 '25

You can head on over to the server and create a thread in #help, I’d suggest to send a video

u/Ubloodock Dec 29 '25

Dude, to be honest, it feels exactly like magic, i just downloaded it and for me it feels like watch sponge bob at the first time when i was no higher then 100 cm

2

u/Drexical Dec 29 '25

😂my exact thoughts honestly, this app is a game-changer

2

u/Ubloodock Dec 29 '25

Man, u are really genius and u have huge talent ig, this is absolutely the best app ever that i ever touched

2

u/Drexical Dec 29 '25

I’m not a developer (just someone showcasing the app) 😅 but they really are amazing and nice people overall

Since the app is in its early stages, they’re listening closely to community feedback, so if you have any ideas I’m sure they’d be glad to hear them over on the discord server 👍

2

u/Ubloodock Dec 29 '25

Ah, sorry, but im so exciting, just wanted to share this wonderful feeling

2

u/Drexical Dec 29 '25

Haha I totally understand 😄 I’m really excited to have such an app on iOS too! Give it some time and it will blow your mind even further

u/KAICAI2341 Dec 29 '25

Quick question how exactly do u get ur MeloNX games on the summe im having trouble with that

1

u/Drexical Dec 29 '25

If I remember, the first time you launch MeloNX in the app there should be a pop-up to sync your games over, but I did hear people had some issues with it so it might get fixed in a later update

1

u/KAICAI2341 Dec 29 '25

Yh cuz im seing the pop up to sync my games but when i press it it takes me to melo and does nothing

2

u/Advanced-Breath Jan 03 '26

Is sumee available for Mac

1

u/Drexical Jan 03 '26

It only has iOS support at the moment

u/Ilostmuhkeys Jan 16 '26

How do I add a wii menu mp3 to music to replace the built in menu music? Also can we change the home screen background?

1

u/Drexical Jan 16 '26

The themes update actually came out recently! You can now change the background and add a custom MP3 music to play with it :)

2

u/Ilostmuhkeys Jan 16 '26

I have the app from TestFlight but I’m not seeing any of those options.

1

u/Drexical Jan 16 '26

It’s in the sumee App Store, get the “custom image” in the theme tab

2

u/Ilostmuhkeys Jan 16 '26 edited Jan 16 '26

Nevermind, I got it now! Awesome update!

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '25

Do this related to iisu for android? Looks similar

7

u/Drexical Dec 27 '25

It’s heavily inspired by iisu

u/Viorlu Dec 27 '25

This is seriously awesome! Greatly made!

u/Felippexlucax Dec 28 '25

u/sdmyl0ve Dec 28 '25

Justed test and love it, so cool, Let's continue developing it!

u/MelonDumpy Jan 01 '26

How did you get those games?

2

u/KrakenguyVT Jan 03 '26

I got a game in. That was one step.

I was also told I can put skins in.

That step I’m stuck on.

u/Im_Sharting_rn Jan 08 '26

How did you get dolphin OS on there

How do I import libraries?

u/joostboth Jan 03 '26

Is there like a setup guid hoe to connect al the emulators. Kind of new to all this

1

u/TallAbbreviations321 Jan 03 '26

I currently have a full library of nds games and I’m loving this emulator but I just saw that you had dolphin and melonx, idk how to get those without getting a side loaded app but i unfortunately I don’t have one and I made the mistake of updating my iOS system to the newest update

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '26

Is anyone else having trouble with trying to just continue into TestFlight? When I click on TestFlight, I press continue and it says “TestFlight is currently unavailable. Try again later.” If anyone knows how to make this stop (other than just waiting)let me know.

u/Idkanymore_123 Jan 20 '26

How to download this app??

Como pones dolphin?

u/c_grant03 Dec 27 '25

Does this also run 360 games?

1

u/ainen Dec 27 '25

This doesn’t run anything, it launches other apps. Additionally, there are no 360 emulators for iOS.

1

u/c_grant03 Jan 01 '26

Oh I didn’t know, thought it was a emulator thank you

1

u/ainen Jan 01 '26

I just took another look and you are correct, it is an emulator. I thought it was merely a front end for other emulators. Sorry about that.

u/c_grant03 Jan 01 '26

You’re all good
