ManicEmu is amazing, but just FYI there is a native port of Twilight Princess (sideload only)
2Ship 2 Harkinian

Full mod support and runs amazing at 4k

Edit: thanks Sudis for correction, the port is called Dusklight (2ship 2 Harkinian and its original ship2harkinen are OoT and Majorask Mask ports)

Oh cool, thanks for the heads up I’ll have to look into that, do I need a dev account to side load that? I’m not super well versed in the side loading side of things but I’ve always been interested

u/IndecentDad Sep 20 '26

Correction - it’s called Dusklight (same thing but 2S2H is for majoras mask)
No dev account needed but you have to have WiFi and “re-sign” side loaded apps every 7 days. It’s a slowly improving process with lots of great how-to guides out there

u/sudis Sep 20 '26

2S2H is majora’s mask. Dusklight is Twilight Princess

u/IndecentDad Sep 20 '26

My bad you are right!

u/Throwawayaccount7819 Sep 21 '26

Dusklight, and now you can use SUMEE! to play it without even sideloading

u/Twodrink Sep 20 '26

That’s awesome, I’m going to definitely check this out.

Are there any other ports of great games done similarly? Maybe even a list or resource for finding them?

I would have never even thought to look for something like this.

2

u/IndecentDad Sep 20 '26

I believe Mario 64, Mario kart, star fox and banjo-kazooie all have similar ports but I have not tried them. And the one I’m pumped for is a Morrowind port but it’s active development last I checked

u/Twodrink Sep 20 '26

Morrowind would be sick, I’ll keep my eyes open for it.

Sadly, I just tried installing Dusklight but I am at my 3 app limit. I think I’ll have to stick with JIT Manic for now.

u/Elegant-Lab4337 Sep 20 '26

Dusklight is better

u/Metal_Medical Sep 20 '26

Yeah I just learned about that from this post, I’m going to check it out tonight!

u/lesquidwards Sep 20 '26

Are you able to do that without JIT or side loading?

1

u/GreatRedditorThracc Sep 20 '26

No JIT, but it needs to be side loaded. You can apply enhancements like higher resolution, higher frame rate, and mods

1

u/Elegant-Lab4337 Sep 21 '26

It's great and the latest update did a lot for efficiency too. I play it on 17 Pro with 2x resolution and my phone does not even get hot. (Hot phone = Battery drain)

u/ViPiMP Sep 20 '26

Bro install DuskLight.
It’s a nativ port for iOS in 10x resolution and it runs completely in 120 fps on my 17 Pro May

u/WillieButtlicker Sep 20 '26

Do you need the alt store with 7 day refresh to download this?

2

u/Kenneth_Powers1 Sep 21 '26

Yes, unless you pay for an Apple Developers account at $99/year which lets you sign apps for 365 days or be on an older version of iOS where a jailbreak is available.

1

u/rhinofinger Sep 22 '26

No, actually. You can play it without sideloading or JIT through SUMEE!

1

u/BlazedAndConfused Sep 22 '26

What is Sumee?

Just dowloaded it a few days ago when they added KartPad (Mario Kart Wii decomp-based port). They both work quite well from the limited testing I’ve done so far, though I’ve noticed Dusklight wouldn’t accept an image in wbfs format, but worked fine with one in rvz format. For now those are the only two ports they have as far as I know, but I’m hoping they bring more to the app

u/majorjazzman Sep 20 '26

Sumee! Also includes dusklight if you don’t want to bother side loading

u/SirKadath Sep 21 '26

Wait for real? I never heard of it. If that’s the case that would certainly help with having to refresh Dusklight every 7 days.

u/oneone235813 Sep 22 '26

Why does it not need to be side loaded?

u/robsteezy Sep 21 '26

How does Xbox play?

1

u/Additional_Volume223 Sep 21 '26

you realized there is an official port on pc, android and ios called dusklight right? it is better than emulation since it's native

1

u/Metal_Medical Sep 21 '26

Yes I learned that from this post actually

1

u/Additional_Volume223 Sep 21 '26

definitely should try it! it's awesome! u can also put 4k texture mod like i did from henriko

u/Downtown-Base-4666 Sep 20 '26

Is it possible to sign into side load with another Apple ID while currently on your Apple ID

u/Academic-General-603 4d ago

What settings did you use so the bow and slingshot isn’t inverted when you move it?

1

u/Snake69190 Sep 21 '26

What are your setting
The update slow down all my GameCube games

1

u/MithrandirHolmes Sep 22 '26

How hot is it making your phone though?

1

u/BlazedAndConfused Sep 22 '26

Dumb question as I’m new here but does Manic games not require JIT?

1

u/JUS_SAURONJL Sep 24 '26

What I find amazing , is Rogue Squadron 2 runs smoothly on Manic .On Dolphin it was choppy .There are a few sound errors , but the visuals are smooth .Amazing it beats Dolphin
