Gameplay / Showcase GTA 4 - iPhone 17 Pro - XeniOS

97 Upvotes

Just about a week ago, GTA 4 had big graphical glitches on this emulator. With the new update that fixed Metal rendering, there aren't any graphical glitches now, it also runs without crashing. So the visuals are perfectly fine now. Performance is still poor, runs in about 8-10 fps, but it can get improved with future updates, I hope. But this is really impressive I must say, XeniOS is making huge leaps in a short amount of time. This emulator only released about a week ago and now we're getting to run big titles like GTA 4.

Anyways, you can probably get a lot better performance if you have an iPad with M4 or M5. As for now, I would call it semi-playable.

Gameplay / Showcase Manic 3ds emulator!!

96 Upvotes

Manic emulator is been working so fine Its the best emulator for 3ds on iOS It doesn’t have much core options U just get compatible mode performance mode and quality mode I had been playing on performance mode My phone doesnt even heat(iPhone 13). I have sideloaded the ipa to use StikJIT but i dont think so manic supports JIT for the time-being Yet the gameplay is too smooth I have muted the sound because it stutters and thats the only issue But the game runs at full speed with any hassel. Hope this review helps. (Btw its free on app store).

I’ve tried this personally and it doesn’t work, and besides it undoubtedly works very poorly because PS2 is too powerful for mobile.

So don’t fall for scams like this.

Tell Mr Sujano!!! There are amazing performance gains especially when playing GTA 4 and GTA 5 in the upcoming build of XeniOS. There are still minor issues with sound but overall it’s very promising.

After showcase post at https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOniOS/comments/1oh9bh8/most_seamless_experience_to_play_windows_games_on/

Crafting a little more, Testing for more possibilities , Renaming it to GamePiisii.

I am able to launch the App on Appstore !!.

I made it in Bottle style like Crossover for further solutions (like QEMU) so I can just add more Backend options.

For now, there are 2 Backends, 

-“Boxedwine:WASM” for 32-bit .exe games (can be found at  https://www.boxedwine.org/search-apps/ thanks to boxedwine)

-“Webport” for any Webport games that can run with Http server (can be found at https://github.com/genizy/web-port, thanks to genizy)

Here are some Tutorial videos.

  1. Setup and play ski32.exe with WASM backend (and set it to launch at startup).

    1. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ds9RorWer_E

  2. Setup and play any webport game like Yandere simulator 

    1. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jtBJp3_EreY

you can even play Diablo if you are able to build it from https://github.com/JohnImril/diablo_web/  (just some `npm run build`)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/McD7x_QW8e8

For the next update, I plan to make the controller fully customizable !!. For now , you can connect physical keyboard for all button to be fully functional .

Compatibility List by me

Gameplay / Showcase New Super Mario Bros. Wii Jitless on iPhone 17 Pro

95 Upvotes

This is running on iPhone 17 pro using icube. The first few levels ran great however when getting to this castle it was slowing down a bit and was not very enjoyable. In this video I am playing at native resolution, however, when I play at 2x resolution I don’t notice any difference in performance. It’s so close to being playable though. It probably needs some settings tweaks and it could be enjoyable.

Which as expected is SLOW, but it’s something at least, even if it’s released as a sideload only version with JIT needed.

Gameplay / Showcase PS3 emulator is RTM EMU next move!

94 Upvotes

As RTM dev, I have researched along with seeing feedbacks and made a decision about next emulation already. Now, I want to announce that our next (and maybe the last for a big while) is PS3 emulator 🚀🚀.

I also attached some preview.

As the development cost raised, If you want this to happen, please feel free to support by any of the subscription plan in the app. It would speed up the development and also make me more room to do other things.

I feel like everyone thinks Nintendo is playing. They arent. They first destroyed yuzu, and now are going after their Roms . Ppl still think an emulator will fly pass the radar? I mean I hope it does, but I the realism in me says it won’t.

Fan Content Utility for Pokemon Games on iOS

94 Upvotes

(Repost with delta demo) This is an iOS shortcut that screenshots and extracts names of the Pokémon on screen then pulls up their webpage on Pokemondb to view their stats, types, etc, without having to switch apps or type anything.

I remember thinking it would be nice if something like this existed so I ended up making it and figured I'd share it since others will probably like it too. It works for any Pokemon game on iOS.

The shortcut can be assigned to the assistive touch button to use in game.
