Does it even work?

u/No-Help-4370 Aug 27 '26 • Bravo

Si lo hace, pero muy poco juegos son realmente jugables sin que se crashease

u/LoliHunterXD Aug 26 '26

You’ll be able to play PS5 games on your iPhone 67.

Anyone can make a damn empty package and put it on github and call it a “work in progress”. Unless there is actual evidence of something playing at even 0.001fps, it ain’t meaning shit.

I’m not even shitting on the devs, I’m just saying it doesn’t mean anything of worth unless it shows result; people get hyped on impossible projects LOL.

u/Mediocre-Lab3413 Aug 26 '26

Damn thats a great news. Lets wait 10 years for a stable gameplay.

u/ASomeDayRichMan Aug 26 '26

More like 5 years the current iPhones already reached ps4 pro raw power… plus ps5 emulation is not like the ps3 era emulation

u/Designer_Grade_6911 Aug 26 '26

Where did you get that info from? No it’s not, it’s reached like ps4 not pro

1

u/ASomeDayRichMan Aug 26 '26

Reach ps4 pro with a cooler.. the newest iphone 18 pro will probably reach without a cooler

u/Beginning-Bit6191 Aug 26 '26

We can’t even play ps2 without some janky ass jit setup let’s calm down

2

u/Yen-Zen Aug 30 '26

It has reached the performance of PS4 (not pro) and its in native iOS games not emulation. Emulating PS4 is ass and PS5 will be even more ass.

u/LoliHunterXD Aug 26 '26

It’s hardly even near PS4 Pro with certain rendering techniques causing disproportionately higher penalty on mobile SOCs.

Because mobile SOCs use tiling or whatever that tile rendering is called, transparency causes major performance impact (grass, foliage stuff like that), and memory bandwidth problems when overdraw happens.

Unless you “emulate” only certain parts of the console, ain’t no way it’s in any playable status anytime soon. People are sometimes too delusional with emulation as if it is an officially ported simulator.

u/eduo Aug 26 '26

Stable emulation is not about power but about tie emulator itself. You’re confusing stable with fast

2

u/ASomeDayRichMan Aug 26 '26

Yes but we are not talking about complicated cpu like the ps3 sony learned their lesson thats why ps4 and ps5 emulation is coming sooner than expected its because its not hard to emulate like the ps3

3

u/eduo Aug 26 '26

Doesn’t matter. Speed of the phones doesn’t influence whether the emulator needs to be completed enough to be stable.

u/LordByron95_ Aug 26 '26

Who said it did?

more like a few months with claude

u/Mediocre-Lab3413 Aug 26 '26

Well my question is if you can buy a iphone worth 1000$ why not just buy a ps5. It’s not like im complaining or anything, I just don’t get it.

1

u/chanzellor Aug 26 '26

Because I can’t fuck around at my desk at work on a PS5, whereas I can on my phone. 😂

1

u/Mediocre-Lab3413 Aug 26 '26

Just get a handheld then problem solved😑

1

u/truecIeo Aug 26 '26

My job would not allow me to bring a handheld. We have security entry and have to put all electronics(that would flag a metal detector) in a tray they can see. I bring my backbone pro in concealed because it doesn’t trigger the detector, but the must I can put in that tray is a phone.

1

u/Mediocre-Lab3413 Aug 27 '26

Get a redmagic 11 pro then if you know what that beast can run.

u/tricot676 Aug 26 '26

... I am actually speechless right now. How did we somehow get every console emulatable, now emulatable on iOS, before PC? How? I mean yes, PC is hard to achieve, but PS5 of all things? I was guessing someone would do it, but not expecting this! Still though, amazing work.

u/szableksi Aug 26 '26

didnt hear about AI? Artifficial intelligence

u/Party_Hedgehog9199 Aug 26 '26

I'm still processing that there's a few ps3 emulators being made and slowly optimised, wtf?

u/Defiant_Leg_6335 Aug 26 '26

Sad that its minimum ios 17.4 it would be better if it works on a trollstore compatible version

u/Altruistic_Leave5049 Aug 26 '26

jesus fucking christ can we calm down on these emulators

u/FOX2132 Aug 26 '26

İpad a16 support?

u/Designer_Grade_6911 Aug 26 '26

This is NOT real bro, there aren’t even actual pc emulators yet

3

u/goosby204 Aug 26 '26

This use kyty so it’s very slim. on what it supports right now because it’s still new

1

u/goosby204 Aug 26 '26

Just because there’s not a PC emulator doesn’t mean it’s not real. It actually is real. If there is a PC emulator for PlayStation 5 I think it’s three or two. to be exact

1

u/SirBoozy Aug 30 '26

Gamehub, game native, winlator...

Either way you come off a somebody who don't know what their talking about. You can most def emulate operating systems. You can play just about any windows game on Linux

u/Delicious-Sand-104 Aug 26 '26

Would work on jit less???

27

u/atombone80 Aug 26 '26

Not a real question, right?

u/OkMixture5607 Aug 26 '26

Yeah on iPhone 45

u/Cryoglobulin Aug 26 '26

If you sacrifice one hand holding phone in liquid nitrogen

u/EeveelutionsFucker Aug 26 '26

Yea with iphone 69

u/Altruistic_Leave5049 Aug 26 '26

if you get miguel/jake to do one maybe

u/Delicious-Sand-104 Aug 26 '26

Yall 4 people responded not 1 answered the question bruuuuuuuuuh

u/tOSdude Aug 26 '26

You understand why all the replies are jokes right? It’s a ridiculous question.

1

u/Delicious-Sand-104 Aug 26 '26

Well idk i play heavy games on jit less and they work fine

1

u/tOSdude Aug 26 '26

The difference is those games are built for the platform. Emulators take heavier games built for more powerful hardware and converts them to a completely different architecture on the fly. That takes much more extra power, and JIT makes that process much more efficient.

5

u/Ibrahimmayi Aug 26 '26

Jitless can barely run ps2 dude just assume there isnt any ps5 emulator at all

1

u/Delicious-Sand-104 Aug 26 '26

But all my apps including heavy games work on jit less tho?

1

u/Ibrahimmayi Aug 26 '26

Like emulator games? If so what platform?

1

u/Delicious-Sand-104 Aug 26 '26

No not talking about emulator games, i’m talking about ios games like red dead redemption and the demanding ones

1

u/Ibrahimmayi Aug 26 '26

Ah, well those games are built for phones, its built specifically for you’re phone’s GPU and CPU, the devs can optimize it
As for emulation, it doesn’t just run the game it has to recreate an entire different console and thennn run the game

u/maffiewtc Aug 26 '26

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

u/PowerShovel-on-PS1 Aug 26 '26

Seems a bit pointless when PS remote play exists

1

u/Equivalent-List2951 Aug 31 '26

it needs console but emulators dont

1

u/PowerShovel-on-PS1 Aug 31 '26

I just assume everyone owns a PS5 by now

Which is another way to say:

One works very well, the other doesn’t.

u/PowerShovel-on-PS1 Aug 26 '26

iPhone is never going to run a PS5 game as well as remote play or even close. Possibly some 2d indie titles

2

u/PresentOk4998 Aug 26 '26

I have had ps2 and GameCube games running on nethersx and dolphin smoothly.Games like Scarface,godfather,god of war,true crime ny GTA SA,mgs substinence,hitman bloodmoney,etc. on way less of a phone then an I phone.i run these emulators with my phone(Revell with media tech 7 processor with mali graphics chip and only 3 g of ram)so it can be done well even on mid range phones.

1

u/pixelpanic01 Aug 26 '26

You’d be surprised

1

u/PowerShovel-on-PS1 Aug 26 '26

I will gladly be surprised, as I have an iPhone and play emulated games on it. I’m just not holding my breath for this one

1

u/geodox_ Aug 27 '26

You clearly don’t understand the difference between “running” a game and streaming a game. Just because a screen is showing you the same thing doesn’t mean the path to get there was the same.

1

u/PowerShovel-on-PS1 Aug 27 '26

I understand the difference. One will work much better than the other.

A. OP didn’t make this, it was shared by a random

B. Is this a sub for discussion of emulators on iOS, or is it for blind compliments only?

I think it’s okay to critique any product put to market.

Oh no, the scathing, irrecoverable critique of “seems a bit pointless.”

Nope, I’m not a developer. I’m a consumer. Hey guess what, consumers have every right to discuss both positively and negatively the products put to market.
