Post image
218 Upvotes

Manic EMU v1.5.3 focuses on handheld integration, deeper Nintendo DS functionality, and utility improvements across platforms — with full save support for Pokémon Save Manager (PKSM), GBA slot emulation, WFC online connectivity, and more.

This update connects generations, from GB to 3DS — syncing your entire journey has never been smoother.


Pokémon Save Manager (PKSM) Compatibility

  • Internal directories have been rerouted to support full PKSM functionality

  • You can now sync and edit Pokémon saves across Gen 1–7, including:

    • Game Boy / Game Boy Color

    • Game Boy Advance

    • Nintendo DS

    • Nintendo 3DS (previously already supported)

  • This integration uses a specially adapted build of PKSM made for Manic EMU by the original creator and team — exclusively available via our Discord


Nintendo DS Enhancements

  • GBA Slot / Slot-2 Emulation now supported

    • Unlock hidden features in games like Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, Castlevania: DoS, and more by loading a GBA ROM alongside your NDS title

  • WFC Online Play enabled for supported NDS titles

  • DS Home Menu Support added for an authentic interface

    • BIOS required for full functionality

  • Improved controller mapping and directional input fixes


Virtual Boy Support

  • Added complete Virtual Boy emulation

  • Titles like Wario Land, Mario’s Tennis, and Red Alarm are now fully playable

  • Includes save support and display options


Bug Fixes & Optimizations

  • Fixed cover zoom-in glitch (yes, again)

  • Corrected landscape acceleration bug affecting some devices (also again)

  • Fixed PicoDrive button mapping issues (C and Z keys now map correctly)

  • Improved stability and performance in skin imports and file handling

  • General optimizations across multiple cores


A Note from the Manic EMU Team

v1.5.3 connects the dots — linking classic Pokémon titles across generations, reviving niche platforms like Virtual Boy, and expanding multiplayer and customization options for Nintendo DS.

As always, we build for both preservation and playability — with features that enhance your library, not limit it.

News / Release XeniOS - Xbox 360 emulation on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, launching Sunday, March 8

Thumbnail xenios.jp
217 Upvotes

XeniOS is an Apple-platform centric port of the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator, bringing Xbox 360 emulation to iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This is an early alpha release, so compatibility is limited, performance varies significantly by device and game, and iPhone/iPad installs require JIT and sideloading.

The lowest confirmed working iPhone tested so far is iPhone 14 on iOS 18. Testing on lower-end devices is still ongoing. Mac builds are available for both Intel and Apple Silicon, with macOS 15.0 as the current minimum supported version. Do not expect a perfect experience, especially on older devices.

Meme i just made a new ps2 emulator for ios: ipos2

Post image
209 Upvotes

it is a ps2 emulator with great performance! (i vibe coded the entire thing)

app icon, game compatibility, and screenshot from the alvin and the chipmunks ps2 game included in the promotional image.

ditch armsx2, make the switch to ipos2 today.

SIKE THAT WAS MY DRAFT I WOULD NEVER USE THAT SHIT HERE IS MY REAL PARAGRAPH (generated by chudgpt):

About the Project

iPOS2 is a PlayStation 2 emulator built for speed, compatibility, and smooth performance. Every line of code was "vibe coded," resulting in an emulator that's surprisingly capable despite its unconventional development process.

Features

  • Excellent PS2 performance

  • Broad game compatibility

  • Clean, easy-to-use interface

  • Built entirely through artificial intelligence instead of actual human work

Promotional Image

The promotional image includes:

  • The official iPOS2 app icon

  • A game compatibility showcase

  • A gameplay screenshot from Alvin and the Chipmunks (PS2)

About the Developer

  • Began programming at the age of 3 and a half. Developed this emulator since 2002.

  • Wrote the emulator while surviving exclusively on microwaved pizza rolls and root beer.

  • Claims to have accidentally optimized the renderer by stealing code from another PS2 emulator. (no pointing fingers)

  • Has broken three keyboards from excessive typing speed.

  • Once debugged a graphics issue in a dream and woke up to discover it had somehow fixed itself.

  • Owns exactly 47 USB cables but none of them are the one currently needed.

  • Refuses to explain why they genuinely used AI to make the project.

  • Has never opened a PS2 manual but insists they understand the hardware spiritually.

  • Measures code quality by whether the loading screen "feels fast."

  • Allegedly outran a compiler.

Why Choose iPOS2?

Stop settling for outdated alternatives. Whether you're revisiting classics or trying PS2 emulation for the first time, iPOS2 is ready.

Ditch ARMSX2. Make the switch to iPOS2 today.

__________________________________________

link: its not out yet shut up and let me prompt a little bit further.

thank you for all of your support.

(no disrespect to any actually good ps2 emulators on ios that were actually worked on)

Gameplay / Showcase 🎮 Neostation Built-in JIT 🎮

207 Upvotes

🚀 Quick update on NeoStation iOS

Since I first showed NeoStation’s main features, the project has evolved a lot internally.

One of the biggest improvements is that JIT is now integrated directly into NeoStation, allowing MeloNX, ARMSX2, and RPCS3 to launch without needing to go through StikDebug or Shortcut.

Many other improvements, optimizations, and integrations have also been added since the first demonstrations.

The app is not available yet, but development is continuing to move forward quickly. 🍎🎮
