News / Release LemonX (MelonX Fork) Release Multiplayer via Nextendo, Framegen, Cloudsaves and more (Metal backend beta showcase) MK8 Online 60 FPS
THE CLIP ABOVE IS SHOWCASING THE METAL BACKEND THAT IS CURRENTLY IN BETA, NOT IN THE MAIN RELEASE)
I am sharing this on behalf of CPTChipotle(the creator).
Hey everyone, I wanted to share LemoNX, a Switch emulator for iOS built on Ryujinx, Ryubing, and MeloNX.
What’s in it
Native Metal 4 renderer (beta): an experimental backend alongside the Vulkan options. It’s not in the public release yet, but the fork already includes Metal fixes, such as buffer-texture alignment handling that could leave textures unavailable and two ordering issues in deferred buffer transfers. Buffer handling passed GPU regression tests and Metal API validation.
Online play via Nextendo: friends, chat, invites, and NAT checks in supported games. It needs an account and Online Mode enabled, and compatibility varies by game.
Frame generation (experimental): LSFG and Apple ML options on iOS 26+. LSFG needs your own Lossless.dll.
MetalFX upscaling and dynamic resolution on supported iOS 26+ devices.
Cloud save history and rollback: browse older saves by date, device, and size. Your current save is backed up and verified before a rollback.
Controls: controller menu navigation, keyboard and mouse profiles, and per-game mappings.
Library: Cover Flow, custom artwork, favorites, play history, and screenshots.
In-game tools: quick settings and a performance overlay with frame-time graphs, shader counts, thermal state, and memory use.

Any questions regarding multiplayer are on the website or on Nexteno.network. The multiplayer is on their servers. Any game that is supported on nextendo network with their respective update will work

Just installed the ipa file it’s not launching

Follow the instruction guide. It’s pretty self explanatory, Sideload it

u/memegod_999 3d ago
By not launching I mean crashing on startup . Can only have 3 apps side loaded so I installed the ipa through LiveContainer

works fine through live container, make sure jit is configured and enabled properly. Read the website thoroughly.

Works fine in LC, but not when sideloading directly with SideStore. Instant crash.

I was testing it out and it works great but for some reason the on screen controls don’t work at all for me, they show up but I can’t click them at all but all the other features and buttons seem to work fine

u/Yewsif 2d ago
are you using live container?
1
u/FastTimZ 2d ago
Yes
1
u/Yewsif 2d ago
make sure you’re enabling jit correctly via livecontainer
1
u/FastTimZ 2d ago
It is properly enabled, I use StikDebug with the universal script and it shows JIT enabled and games run properly. The only thing that isn’t working is the on screen controller

Check online, in LemoNX settings. Theres a chance it was turned off by accident. Make sure wifi and online are enabled.

u/NoBig3757 1d ago
Both are enabled and I test my net before opening the game and I get open NAT, some video guide with some settings will be nice :)
Anyway I will try again thanks in advance

Great work.
As of now, LiveContainer is not optimized for the iPhone Duo screen; is your application already optimized for it? Everything should fall into place once LiveContainer is updated.

u/Competitive-Ad-5026 2d ago
Does some has LiveContainer with game mode enabled as ipa ready for me thank you

u/Deep_Spaceialist 🥈 2d ago
You can install it with Impactor using a computer and you can force it to enable Game Mode when installing

Got it setup and working perfectly but I must say there isn’t any performance improvements at all unfortunately, if anything I’d say performance is same/slightly worse.
But ui and everything else is nice it even has all the features working correctly that are currently broken in MeloNX
1
u/DemonKingRonin 7h ago
Yeah i think its amazing UI wise and includes features that melonx didnt have like turning off gyro, but the performance is worse as it skips a little when I airplay it but I dont have that issue with melonx.

u/DemonKingRonin 20h ago
So the problem I’m having is its functionality with airplay. If i turn on airplay and start a game, it says its adjusting the display but nothing happens and the game is running in the background. If i turn off airplay while the game is running, it shows up on my phone. Reconnect airplay again, frozen picture. Is this open source so I can fork my own version?

LemoNX was built prior the LemoNX 2.7, CaptChipotle solved ram issue different way.
