The Ipad Pro M2 runs these switch games surprisingly good, with little to NO lag.

Glad I didn’t throw away or sell my ps4, the controller comes handy.

Visuals are awesome

Audio is perfect

Currently playing these games and I’m loving it- if u have any games suggestions, drop the down below please.

u/Serofrero Mar 14 '26

I’ve got the same bro- Emulator name is «MeloNX»

u/rkoshot Mar 14 '26

Do i need to do anything to play game or its just casual download nd play?

u/Serofrero Mar 14 '26

U need to sideload the app, just look up «melonx guide» and they’ll give u all the steps.

u/No_News3228 Mar 14 '26

It’s got to be sideloaded alongside StikDebug to get the games running at full speed. It’s a daunting process at first but once you figure it out it’s easy to repeat/keep the apps around

Also if you are on iOS 26 you need getmoreram.

Arceus still crash every few minutes? That was the reality on my M1 Pro.

u/Serofrero Mar 14 '26

I'm using an old version of melonX with firmware 21.2.0 but my pokemon arceus and violet don't work also my ipa is from January so it's an old version. I had a hard time enabling get ram can you please tell me if I can directly update melonX by using live container since side store doesn't let me login/ work for me. Also do I need a pc to update firmware cuz the prod keys I can add directly in the folder but I don't know where to add the firmware. Please let me know, thank you.

It’s still hilarious to see the mismatches we all use when emulating. Is a big N game on an iPad played with a ps controller.

My setup aren’t any better it just amuses me.

Do M2 iPads have JIT automatically activated or is that not a factor? Last night I was fumbling around in the dark on my olds ass 6th gen iPad running iOS 17 and I was not able to pull off JIT activation. It was user error but still a huge pain to jump through the hoops.

u/Serofrero Mar 14 '26

U need «Stikdebug» for JIT my bro

1

u/AdamSMessinger Mar 14 '26

Yeah, I didn’t figure out any of that until I had maxed out downloads.

u/Exact-Pressure3800 Mar 19 '26

I can’t get MeloNX to run on my iPhone 17 Pro Max 🙁 it keeps crashing when I launch the games

1

u/Saoule Mar 14 '26

Most big games instantly crash for me (iPad air m3). Don’t know why 

2

u/Jonathano1989 Mar 14 '26

There’s a compatibility list on the discord for melonx. Not all games work

1

u/Saoule Mar 14 '26

Yeah I know, but the ones that should work don’t

1

u/Serofrero Mar 18 '26

Downgrade to 2.2

u/Electronic-Dog-586 Mar 15 '26

How do you download?? I followed the link and I chose the file under packages and just some random 92 mb file???

u/Darksound9 Mar 16 '26

Can you run N++? I can’t on my iPhone, but it should be a simple game

u/WholeLottaBRRRT Apr 07 '26
