Mod Announcement Regarding native ports

74 Upvotes

Hello everyone

THis subreddit has always been, and will always be about emulation on iOS. As cool as they are, native ports of games are not emulation. Please take posting about native ports to r/NativePortsOniOS

Talking about native ports is also still allowed on our discord: https://discord.com/invite/VSpc2KwBDr

Unrelated but, from now on, if a project has a discord server, they must include the link on the post instead of it being a "dm for the invite" or "comment for the invite" type situation

Gameplay / Showcase Sleeping Dogs Definitive edition running on iPhone 17 Pro Max

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a cool testing milestone. I’ve been running Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition on my iPhone 17 Pro Max using BCD Windows emulator and it performs way better than expected.

Most of the time, it stays smooth at around 40 to 60 FPS, but thanks to ProMotion, it occasionally spikes all the way up to 80–90 FPS in less demanding areas/menus.

Gameplay / Showcase LSX4 on iOS: PS4 gameplay video excerpt

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

The attached video is a short excerpt from the full iOS gameplay video available on YouTube.

Full 40-game iOS showcase on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu7bgQQiUdA

The Last of Us Remastered on iOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20qtM8hfL0I

Note: These are only some of the tested games, not the only playable ones. Development is currently ongoing along both JIT and No-JIT paths. The app’s distribution method is still uncertain. Even if the No-JIT implementation is completed in full, I do not expect PS4 to be classified as retro platforms in the App Store.

News / Release gcwii v1.0.0 – DolphiniOS fork with restored PC Netplay support

3 Upvotes

I released gcwii, a DolphiniOS fork that restores native Dolphin Netplay to iOS. This allows cross-platform multiplayer between iOS devices and Windows PC players on the same session/protocol.

Features:

  • Cross-Platform Netplay: Join/host GameCube and Wii Netplay sessions with PC users (I don't own an Android for tests).
  • Custom Touch Controls: Fully movable and resizable touch layout.

Important Notes:

  • The app may crash when booting a game for the first time.
  • You must launch and play a game at least once locally before playing it in Netplay.

Requirement:

  • JIT is required
  • GitHub repo: AroToavina/gcwii

Help Request How Can I Prevent My iPhone 16 Pro from Overheating During RPCS3 or Heavy Emulation?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro and want to run demanding games through emulation, such as RPCS3 or other high-performance emulators.
My main concern is overheating during extended gaming sessions. Are there any settings, tweaks, or practical methods to reduce heat while maintaining stable performance?

Question Regarding the ban waves

3 Upvotes

Has anyone ever gotten their Developer Account certificates taken away or suspended by Apple for using Sidestore? I saw somewhere that the accounts banned were mostly banned for side loading apps specifically designed for piracy.

MeloNX does not promote piracy, but I still want to know if anyone has gotten issues.

Just to be completely safe, I performed the setup with my secondary Apple ID, I did not want to risk my main one.

Discussion Why am I just now discovering the joys of Emulators?

14 Upvotes

A conversation with a friend today we had about old games and the PS2 era. We ended up talking about me considering buying a PS2 to relive some of my childhood favourites and she just comes out with "just download an emulator, bro".

Now I've always known emulation was a thing to a degree. I did it probably a decade ago to play some of the older Pokemon games for a while, but then just kind of lost interest and have never really considered emulation for some of the more advanced consoles like PS2, PS3 and Xbox and it's like a whole new world has been unlocked for me.

Games I never thought I'd ever get to replay again I've been reliving all day and I'm like "why the fuck didn't I do this sooner?!?!" my only downside at the moment is there doesn't seem to be any specific reliable emulator for Xbox/Xbox360 games that works on Mac, but for now, at least I get to relive GTAIV and the original Smackdown games.

My mind, dear fellows, ladies and thembies, is blown.
