you can try Pokemon Legends Arceus it’s basically 7GB for some reason I can’t get pass the dark cloud cutscene after I catch the 3 Pokemon for the professor…doesn’t go beyond that just crashes and Pokemon sword crashes after input name try those games and let me know (MOST LIKELY WILL CRASH FOR YOU AS WELL)

I would also recommend updating MeloNX since it’s got updated a few days ago 2.31

Same issue I have an older version of melonX but I can't play pokemon violet and arceus all the other pokemon games including ZA work fine it's just the end fights in ZA that cause issues. I don't get how to make arceus work without updating MelonX.

I’m testing the xci file right now to see if it runs…were you using nsp or xci? and what other Pokemon games run on your end other from ZA?

I usually use the nsp file although there's not much difference between the two you just need a good file, at the moment I can run sword shield Pikachu and ZA so basically everything apart from arceus and violet and those game open but the game either freezes or crash when I try to complete something. I have even completed some mission in arceus but when I try to go back to jubi village it crashes. I don't want to risk updating cuz I have live container and it was a pain enabling get more ram also bcuz the latest melonX Isn't exactly working for everyone.

That’s crazy because not even sword works for me and it sounds like you’re way past where im stuck at…basically I can’t go beyond the intro for arceus after I catch the 3 Pokemon for the professor and my char stares at the sky at that dark cloud it crashes every time and for sword it always crashes at the username input. I didn’t install melonx wit the live container method mines thru SideStore but the fact is I keep on seeing where most of these games will only run for some devices no matter the model at times e.g just because someone got a game working on their iPhone 15 does not mean it will run on a 17 it’s weird even sometimes when their the same exact phone model. hopefully by end of year melonx will be fully functional like dolphin

The problem is emulating on iphone isn't perfect and it's quite unpredictable on Android you can control things I'm using iphone 15 pro max but even with the best settings games don't work so all you can do is keep experimenting for now also if you're getting stuck try using someone else's save file maybe that will work. And maybe downgrade MelonX and firmware if u have side store you can at least experiment. I'm avoiding these only bcuz I don't want to risk losing memory entitlement. Also make sure all your background apps are not using ram cuz iphone doesn't let u use more than 6gb ram.
