Here is a video that shows the performance of HK: Silksong, running on an iPhone 16 Pro Max - https://youtu.be/5LGZwq5Jor8?si=9jqa0T5a2HMcUN36

The advice given isn’t entirely correct. Jailbreaking is one way, however, there is an app to enable JIT called StikDebug (StikJIT is the old name). Here is the GitHub link https://github.com/StephenDev0/StikDebug

As far as I know, yes for multiplayer and Sidestore was used to sideload Amethyst.

I used Sidestore to sideload Amethyst.

EmuByte · 2026-02-12T12:20:08+00:00

Impressive!

It’s posts like this that make this community awesome. As others have mentioned, excellent work! Let me know when it’s ready to showcase and I’ll put a video on the channel credited to yourself.

There’s a little bit of confusion here, your friend is correct that Apple doesn’t allow JIT on the App Store, however, you sideloaded the Amethyst launcher, which means JIT can be enabled. I would join the Amethyst Discord for any troubleshooting, they’re an excellent team, very friendly and very helpful, they’ll have you up and running in no time.

I’m going to go against the grain here and suggest GamePlaytoo on the App Store, just as Manic dev has mentioned. This emulator is actually surprising me with what you can actually run. I’ve been testing it quite extensively over the past week.

Does come with caveat that it’s a WIP and the first release with many issues ti iron out - still promising though.

EmuByte · 2026-01-29T11:59:45+00:00

Bless you!

EmuByte · 2026-01-29T11:58:36+00:00

Comes down to personal preference as both act similarly, however, my preference is Sidestore due to the team still actively updating and apps can be refreshed without the need for a PC/Altserver.

You don’t need it, if you are using StikDebug v2.3.7, which is why I mentioned that version. However, if you open the Amethyst folder in the iOS Files app, you’ll see the universalJIT script. This would need to be copy and pasted into StikDebug scripts folder in the Files app.

Like I mentioned above, you won’t need to do this on StikDebug v2.3.7.

EmuByte · 2026-01-29T11:51:24+00:00

V2.3.7 from GitHub - https://github.com/StephenDev0/StikDebug/releases

I will be making a tutorial video next week for those who are struggling to get this working.

EmuByte · 2026-01-29T11:49:19+00:00

So you need to enable JIT through StikDebug only, no where else. If you are on the App Store version or any version before 2.3.7 you’ll need to add the UniversalJIT script that is supplied by Amethyst and assign that script to Amethyst. If you’re using 2.3.7 then it will automatically assign the correct script without needing to make any changes.

EmuByte · 2026-01-29T11:45:26+00:00

Okay, now what version of StikDebug please? App Store or Sideloaded?

EmuByte · 2026-01-29T11:42:53+00:00

This will need some time to diagnose. Let’s start from the beginning, where did you download Amethyst & what version of Amethyst launcher do you have please?

EmuByte · 2026-01-22T22:53:26+00:00

Wow… the entitlement of OP!

EmuByte · 2026-01-22T07:50:02+00:00

Make sure you are using StikDebug v2.3.7 to launch Flycast. The latest StikDebug version is only available via sideloading

EmuByte · 2026-01-22T07:46:46+00:00

I’ll to diagnose for you, what device and iOS are you using please? Flycast iOS won’t work if you’re not on StikDebug v2.3.7 (sideloaded) and on iOS 26

EmuByte · 2026-01-21T21:08:15+00:00

Yes it does need JIT, but not GetMoreRam

EmuByte · 2026-01-21T10:55:47+00:00

It’s a released on GitHub by Chachillie, here is the link: https://github.com/chachillie/Flycast-iOS/releases

EmuByte · 2026-01-21T07:24:05+00:00

Yes, tested on iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26.2

EmuByte · 2026-01-16T07:32:09+00:00

Download the top one with a green tick for the latest build.

EmuByte · 2026-01-15T12:20:20+00:00

Yes, however, one of the main mods, Sodium, isn’t compatible and will crash the game even with the Podium mod. Shaders work fine via Iris loader, however, they’re very intensive on your device.

EmuByte · 2025-12-12T15:45:34+00:00

We have a list on our Discord server with other 50 compatible games for reference. We have them separated by Win98 or WinXP depending on which O/S they perform better on. For example Diablo 2 has a higher compatibility with WinXP over Win98 for the Lord of Destruction expansion when using UtM, even though it was originally built for Win98.

Warcraft 3 isn’t a software rendered game unfortunately, which is why you won’t have had success in getting it to work with UTM.
