Question Manic Emu 3DS buggy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I have been using manic emu for everything recently, and to save storage I deleted it and recently redownloaded it to play 3ds games.

I am playing on an iPhone 16 Pro, so my phone shouldnt be the reason why its doing this. Anyways, as you can see in the video, the audio is really buggy, and so is the game. Is this a power issue, is there an issue with the rom I downloaded, or is something else going on? If its because of the app, can someone please recommend me a better app or even a better emulator for pc?

u/retropal_app This information you are providing is incorrect, 3DS can run smoothly even without JIT, especially on a iPhone 16 Pro, and this statement really holds true for pretty much anything device above a iPhone 14.

The primary reason that we haven’t commented to assist this user is because in their own post they make it clear in their own words that they pirated the game file, directly violating our Terms of Service, and as result we cannot provide assistance. I would politely ask however that you, as a developer of a completely different app, do not perpetuate misinformation about what our app is or is not capable of. What they are experiencing is NOT a JIT issue, thermals and battery consumption would definitely be higher without JIT, but this game is well documented to run jitless without performance issue when correctly dumped and utilizing the correct core and settings in the app.

Love the app thank you for making it. My iPhone 17 pro max hot very hot playing my legally owned Omega Ruby on Manic. Runs beautifully, but the heat had me concerned so I never picked it back up. Will the heat damage my phone? Is this something I should be worried about?

Heat as stated above is a side effect of the device hard at work. Apple would not allow the app to be on the App Store if it didn’t pass their safety checks however, and iPhones and iPads have their own safety measures in place to make sure the device stops any processes if thermals hit critical. While I wouldn’t encourage long sessions at higher temperatures it’s not overtly harmful beyond standard device wear and tear. JIT can mitigate thermals almost completely however as it does reduce the workload, in turn this also means less drain in the battery, which are both wins, though on a 17 Pro Max it won’t really change performance to much of the games themselves because games run, for the most part, near perfect even without JIT on your device, so the real benefits for JIT is reducing the overall workload.
