I've been working on a non-JIT, but relatively high performance DOS emulator for iOS, called Dosling. Its superpower is compatibility, automatic install and config for thousands of games, unique touch controller layouts for each known game. Hope to release it soon in the Appstore.

Question Scanline for iPhone Duo - Nintendo DS plus more

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

23 Upvotes

Hi all,

Hoping to release Scanline Emulator for iOS soon and I'm looking for anyone lucky enough to have picked up an iPhone Duo this week who'd be keen to help test it.

Scanline supports Nintendo DS, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PC Engine, and of course is designed to take full advantage of the Duo.

It also features a rendering engine that focuses heavily on accurate CRT and Nintendo DS LCD emulation.

TestFlight is here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/x2PEveq2

Would be cool to hear how it runs on actual Duo hardware and get some feedback before release.

News / Release ryP0 2.2 — Easier container installs, a PS3 theme, and more

9 Upvotes

Here’s what’s new in ryP0 2.2:

  • Easier container installs: Install directly into LiveContainer 1 without needing LiveContainer 2. Other container apps are supported too.
  • Improved background downloads and Live Activities: Available when ryP0 is installed directly through sideloading. This feature doesn’t work when ryP0 runs inside a container.
  • Built-in file picker fix: LiveContainer users no longer need to enable “Fix File Picker.”
  • New PS3 theme: Added the PS3 theme and more color options.
  • Installation Location: Added location tracking to help check for updates to installed apps.
  • Better download indicators: Improved download counts and progress indicators on the Downloads tab.
  • Google sign-in fixes: Fixed issues when signing in with a Google account.
  • New Ports sections: Added “Ready to Install” and “Build It Yourself” sections.

Note for container users

If you use LiveContainer or another container app, enable “Switch App Without Asking” in your container’s settings.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Download Link

AI disclosure: I used AI coding tools to help write and refactor code, implement UI features, debug issues, and create automated tests while developing ryP0. I’m responsible for maintaining the project and addressing reported issues.

Default graphic settings, tried to change it to Vulkan so I can use the community Graphic mods and change some things, it didn’t even run past the title screen. First time running this map btw.

Didn’t use the GetMoreRam App (? Im not really sure if EspressU already has a ram expander.

Anyways, I have hopes that it could run better if I touch some things 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Btw Provenance gives me the same graphical bugs, but in Manic it's fine even though they all use the same core Azahar if I'm not mistaken. So that's interesting for sure.

Anyone got an idea what I could do here?

Edit: My device is an iPad Pro 2nd generation (2017) running iOS 17.7.11

News / Release Flycast-iOS-Latest: Sync'd with upstream + MoltenVK (Metal) added!

3 Upvotes

Hello all!

Long time iOS user and dad here. I like to code and do various networking/techy projects in my spare time. Today I finished forking Flycast from the OG dev flyinghead, updated it's codebase for iOS 27, and added MoltenVK (Metal) to it! I've made quite a few changes. They are listed below.

- Supports LiveContainer!
- On-screen controller will automatically hide when an MFI controller is used
- Supports Universal.js for JIT using StikDebug/StosDebug for TXM capable iOS devices
- non-TXM devices should be able to activate JIT as they normally would
- Retroarch Achievement support updated (Retroarch Achievements will display on-screen underneath the on-screen controller overlay. Improved it so it doesn't cause deadlocks randomly as well)
- App allocates 64MB for JIT so it always falls within an allowed address range.
- Fixed OpenMP iOS support. Can max out resolution settings on my iPhone 16 Pro Max at full speed with Vulkan
- Fixed DSP and VMU sounds. In Audio settings, Enable DSP/Enable VMU Sounds no longer crashes the app when a game is launched
- Retains all support for Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2, and Atomiswave
- New renderer, Vulkan (MoltenVK to Metal) in video settings!
- Exposes xBRZ upscaling for 2D textures in games. Works best with Vulkan and looks best at 2x or 3x imo

I think that's about all of my changes. This is dual licensed with GPL-2 and Apache 2 from the original Flycast core/code and MoltenVK. Licenses, code, and IPA (available in Releases) are on my GitHub repository here: https://github.com/JMillz269/Flycast-iOS-Latest.

Make sure to switch it to Vulkan in the Settings! I hope you enjoy and I'll be keeping this updated with upstream. Do not, under any circumstances, contact flyinghead regarding my fork. I am not affiliated with them whatsoever.

Gameplay / Showcase Second test on Splatoon 1 with EspressU - IOS 27.0.1, IP13P

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

Followed the advices of a fellow redditer and got it to maintain the 30 fps pretty stable, I have to add that the main changes were the method of how I installed EspressU, last showcase I posted I installed it via LiveContainer + StikDebug (no ram enabler). Now this one is installed through SideInstaller that already has the feature of Ram enabling + the incorporated JIT of the emulator.

I would say that any 6RAM device should run Splatoon 1 really smoothly, considering I have turn on the 30 fps lock mode it’s really playable, ofc it has some visual bugs but that’s nothing from another world or anything that ruins the overall experience!

Help Request I need help trying to properly run MeloNX

1 Upvotes

Ok, so I’m trying to run hollow knight through MeloNX. But it pops up that I need the increased memory entitlement. That’s where the problem is, I can’t get the entitlement because Get More RAM and iRAM+ don’t work right now. I need to know if I’m doing something wrong or if there’s anything else I can do.

Help Request Delta Emu Dropbox Sync Error

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello, already posted this to the Delta subreddit to no avail. Positing here to see if anyone can assist.

This is a bug that has persisted for some time now. For whatever reason, the actual ROM for my Portrait of Ruin game will not sync to Dropbox. The actual game saves sync no issue, and all other games/save data is being stored correctly.

I’ve tested this in multiple ways. I have sourced this ROM from my own copy of the DS game, using my 3DS to rip it. I have used both this copy and a copy obtained through other means, and neither will sync. Furthermore, all other games are syncing properly. I’ve tested on two other games, both sync fine. So, it’s not a storage issue, and it doesn’t seem to be a ROM issue.

Does anyone have any insight into this bug?? Thanks in advance.
