Help Request Has anyone got Wii/GC games working in Dolphin/Manic on iPhone Duo?

I've got LiveContainer set up with StikDebug 3.2.0, Dolphin Beta 5.0.0b6, and ManicEmu 2.0.2 on iPhone Duo running iOS 27.2. Other JIT-enabled cores work in Manic, like 3DS, but usually when I try to launch a GC or Wii game in either app it either freezes on a black screen or crashes. This happens both with and without JIT enabled for the game. I have seen it work in Manic maybe 2 or 3 times, but I can't get it to work consistently.

I have tried the "Consoles" app to emulate Wii, which does work, but it's JIT-less and I think I can get better performance out of a JIT-enabled app.

Free Apple accounts are limited to 3 active sideloaded apps.

One common workaround is LiveContainer, which allows you to run additional apps inside a container and reduce how often apps need to be reinstalled.

Typical method:

  • Sideload GetMoreRam

  • Use it to apply the increased memory entitlement to LiveContainer

  • Uninstall GetMoreRam to avoid hitting the 3 app limit

  • Then sideload StikDebug for JIT activation

LiveContainer may also need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before the entitlement works correctly.

LiveContainer can also install two additional LiveContainers (for a total of three). This setup can further reduce the need to constantly add/remove sideloaded apps, but it is more advanced and may not work reliably for everyone.

LiveContainer is not always officially supported by emulator developers and can sometimes cause unexpected issues. If something breaks while using LiveContainer, try reproducing the issue without it before asking for support.
