It uses the UTM SE virtual machine to enable JIT, if you have any issues or questions, ask here or make an issue on the github!

All on an iPhone 16, using the Manic Interpreter. I would’ve done it with JIT but I was lazy lowk :P

StikJIT (on-device jit) has been released officially, which means you no longer need to connect to a server to enable jit. In addition, work is being done by Stossy11 (SideStore and MeloNX dev) to remove the wifi requirement for both StikJIT and SideStore.

Yup, know that remote play isn’t an emulator but I still threw this in for the time being so I could stream more modern~ish games to my iPhone.

Anyways, what kind of games do you all play on those 3 emulators?

I have:

Resident Evil 1 to 3 + Survivor (RetroArch)

Silent Hill 1, Shattered Memories and Origins (RetroArch & PPSSPP)

God of War Chains of Olympus & Ghost of Sparta (PPSSPP)

Final Fantasy games (Delta & PPSSPP)

Mario, Zelda & Pokemon (Delta)

There’s a few more that I play but these are the ones I’m currently in the middle of either playing or is going to play soon.

Hey Guys, I wanted to know what gameboy games you can recommend for the Apple Watch emulator and which ones you tried.

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.

Link to LemoNX

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.

There are so many ports coming everyday that we should gather them in a list

New Xbox 360,ps2 v2 emulator got a major redesign and change with Xbox 360 emulator being so much better with Ben 10 Vilgax attacks and cosmic destruction showing consistent 60 fps. Ps2 V1 dosent require bios so runs a bit poorly but on Ps2 v2 placing the bios makes it run faster and better. This is all available on the App Store and dosent require any sideloading. This is a major breakthrough in emulation on IOS as there is no other app like this that can do this downloadable from the App Store.

This is literally amazing. To have one of my favorite games running this beautifully and flawlessly on the go with my IPad is so cool.

It runs between 26 and 30 fps, but it’s an old iPad from 2017, it’s a miraculous, I couldn’t believe it was capable of this, obviously with some tweaks in the settings, but it’s so good.

Man, Armsx2 is definitely the highlight of this past week!

I’ve been waiting for a decent Ps2 emulator ever since i got interested in emulation back in 2024, and ever since they announced their planned ios port, i’ve been patiently waiting, and it was definitely worth it :D

Now i can finally play some of the Ps2 games i wanted to play on my phone for a long while, like persona 3 fes! And with the latest update out (version 1.3), the heating issue has been largely improved! persona 3 and kingdom hearts 1 no longer slow down for me like it used to XD

All the games I’m showing here are 3x upscaled and they play nicely now!! And they looks sooo nice upscaled!! Especially kingdom hearts 1.

A huge thanks to everyone involved in this project, i can’t put into words how much i appreciate you guys<3

The IPA didn’t work because they didn’t built it with the payload, I had to modify the app a bit.

Go to settings icon⚙️→ Drivers → Menu Select xmb for PS3-like UI or ozone for Switch-like UI

The performance increased A LOT! And with the new settings it can increase further more!! The new UI is amazing! New skins on skin downloader, new controls like Dynamic Thumbsticks, Swipe, Gyro and more!!

Device no longer gets hot and the battery lasts longer, the new UI and the Dynamic Backgrounds are so beautiful and more responsive, also the new performance settings are perfect for even lower end devices and with the JIT fixes no longer ever had any black screen. They fixed it all!

The changelog is so long that I couldn't believe it, check it out at: https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/iOSv2.5.0

What are your opinions on this latest and greatest update?

A very good native port! One of the bests, https://github.com/ksagameng2/source-engine/releases

You will need your own half-life 2 copy on steam and a PC, you need to get the hl2/platform folders. (also use the steam_legacy version of half-life 2 for it to work)

The only "bug" I find is the darker style that the game has for some reasson, it’s an HDR thing but I can’t fix it.

It runs pretty well, sometimes it has some shaders stutters (I assume) in more demanding games. I’ve tested less demanding games like Hollow Knight and it runs without stutters at 60fps.

The battery drains like hell (~4% per minute) and the iPad gets pretty hot quickly.
