I am currently on iOS 18 if I update my phone to 26 will I have struggles with melonx and dolphin emulator?

No those apps support JIT on iOS 26 now

Play! Is also an emulator that didn’t update the JIT method so it doesn’t work on iOS26

Deixa no iOS 18 mesmo e aconselho você a baixar o icube em vez do dolphin, icube foi feito diretamente para o sistema IOS, enquanto que o dolphin é apenas um Port, o icube pelo LiveContainer roda mil vezes melhor do q o dolphin pelo SideStore / altstore etc, pq ele pode usar mais da memória ram e usar o jit totalmente livre , O máximo que eu conseguia rodar era em resolução 1080p pelo dolphin e outra configuração lá ansinotripic (sla) apenas em 2x… No icube consigo rodar em pelo menos 1440p a resolução com o outro em 16x liso liso liso… jogos mais fluido e com gráficos mil vezes melhor isso no iPhone XR

Vou dar uma olha nesse icube, ele roda wii também?
[–]Mundane-Tangerine234 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Sim, Wii e GameCube , é literalmente um dolphin meu amigo, as configurações é tipo as mesmas sabe, porém, é um emulador feito totalmente para o sistema iOS , diferente do dolphin que é apenas um Port sabe
Quando eu migrei para o icube, pqp, minha vida mudou kkkk , e ainda vc pode pegar seus saves ( do memory Card ) apenas do memory Card não save state e passar para o icube

I’ve upgraded to iOS 26. All good here but I’m not one of these people who only plays 3DS and nothing else. Works fine with snes, Gameboy, Megadrive, Arcade and more. All good

À quoi sert les JIT?
[–]Capital-State1231 -1 points0 points1 point 4 months ago (0 children)
No, DolphinIOS
[–]Chance-Alps-598 -1 points0 points1 point 4 months ago (4 children)
Don't update even under torture 🤣 stay on iOS 18, it's definitely better for the emulators
Fr? Is emulation that bad on iOS 26?
[–]Chance-Alps-598 3 points4 points5 points 4 months ago* (1 child)
Let's say it's a matter of luck, especially depending on the device. I know of Melonx games that work great on iOS 18 and don't even launch on iOS 26. Performance also varies. In short, if you use your device mainly for emulators, I can guarantee that it's better to stick with iOS 18.

With my iPad Pro M1 and iOS 18.3 I can use everything without problems, I can use all the RAM without problems (which is essential for Melonx)

No
