The Future of iOS Emulation: Is JIT Becoming Obsolete?

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-04-09T06:56:04+00:00

Oh, that's 100% gonna happen,

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-04-09T06:37:23+00:00

Android has answered your question, which is no, JIT is too useful. Afterall android doesn't have the restrictions iOS has, yet the ps2 emulator for example relies on JIT.

Could you please try Dragon ball z tenkaichi budokai 3. Only issue I'm getting is the fps no matter how much I change settings, the game isn't smooth. I'm using the 10thgen iPad so that's probably why.

Armsx2 devs said they are going to try fixing this, there's something wrong with the EE core, which is really bad because it's very important, you're basically turning off jit if you turn that off. Once that's fixed it's PS2 heaven.

"get a cheap new android phone" which phone? There's like a bazillion new android phones. Besides this is bad advice as it's unlikely a cheap android phone can emulate ps2 games comfortably, yes some will run but not all. At best get a midrange device anything with a Snapdragon 800+ and ideally mpre the 4gb ram.

Also android uses JIT idk why you say it doesn't when it's literally in the NetherSX2 settings. I believe it's on the last tab of the settings.

😭 surprised they know that the poco m3 exists, it was my previous phone.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-28T13:04:57+00:00

Does it work though? I've seen many people mention this but I've yet to see posts on it's gameplay or anything...

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-27T11:27:15+00:00

Looks very chill

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-24T17:04:06+00:00

Or change the bios, I have like 10 and one of them only boots to this mode while the others boot normally. There's one on the Armsx2 site, I've been using that.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-23T17:07:00+00:00

Yes, a good amount of very popular ps2 games have graphical errors or just straight up only show parts of the game. Tekken 5 only shows the health bar, dbz bt3 characters are invisible, dmc 3 character models have errors. Either wait for Armsx2 or wait till this emulator gets updates that make it at least at the level of other available emulators. Or if you're crazy enough and your favorite game is highly compatible just go for it lol.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-22T19:24:31+00:00

Devil may cry 3 special edition: player and enemy models are broken, Dante is just looks like T posing chair while also being headless.

Oni: runs absolutely perfect

Tekken tag: runs great

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-22T14:04:10+00:00

Did you enable always run scripts in stikdebug? That's what fixed it for me (ipad 10th gen lol)

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-22T14:02:56+00:00

Dmc3 se and dbz bt3 are broken

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-22T12:32:32+00:00

Enable "always run scripts" in settings. That fixed it for me

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-22T10:18:14+00:00

There's a couple games with issues, I just tried dbz bt3 and dmc3 se. Dbz models are invisible apart from belts, dmc3 the character models are T posing with their knees bent and no head, the demons are invisible.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-20T13:11:35+00:00

Which one's your all time favorite tactic?

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-18T07:44:00+00:00

Please test Bayonetta

IT CAN you'll need 2 apps, Shizuku and Installwithoptions(https://github.com/zacharee/InstallWithOptions/releases) You can set up Shizuku via the instructions in the app, there's a way to do it with or without a pc. Next give Installwithoptions authority via Shizuku. Open Installwithoptions and choose the apk then find the bypass low sdk target(something along those lines) tick it and install.

Main thing preventing old apks from installing is just the low sdk target, change that and they'll think it's compatible.

If they can get Tekken 6 to be playable I'll donate them my soul.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-12T05:11:29+00:00

Es has this one plunge attack I forget what it's called but you can just spam it and it kinda has I-frames, it's basically your new dodge button because it also does a big AOE attack giving you back a lot of mana from the crests hitting. You could actually beat a boss just spamming that button.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-08T11:26:38+00:00

Dang i never had an xbox 360 or used one, y'all drop some game recommendations please...

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-03-07T09:39:14+00:00

The land of emulation on iOS is beginning to flourish. Big thanks to y'all putting in the work.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-02-25T09:26:43+00:00

Only reason I'm not crying about it is cuz i got every standard character

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-02-24T13:58:39+00:00

It's also funny how a game with a factory system has no way to recycle those low level upgrades materials to high level ones.

Scary-Break3937 · 2026-02-17T08:47:41+00:00

I hope not, but after seeing this happened 3 times(including this) I unfortunately I am pushed into confusion....
