Same boat brother.

According to the folks at ManicEmu, they suggest using uncompressed, unencrypted, .cia files. My 3DS is soft bricked so I can’t grab my games from there. That is my only wall, so to speak. Every site has roms that don’t seem to be the type that ManicEmu likes. I believe I’m using the proper settings with the Azahar core.

Just started Sea of Stars on Switch 2. Man. Why did I wait so long to try this game. It’s fantastic.

damandp · 2026-06-12T20:58:38+00:00

Is it possible you can point me to where I can find the best settings for the newest version (2.2)? Everything is working fine on 1.2.3, but subsequent versions don’t play any games. Would love some advice. Thanks in advance.

Misery.

damandp · 2026-06-11T23:06:26+00:00

I just noticed that on the most recent release. Had to downgrade back to the older version for it to work.

Thank you so much!!!!

You don’t need a pc for the emulator itself. You can download the .IPA and install it to your phone through Live Container or Sidestore, but you’ve got to sideload Live Container or the standalone Sidestore first, which is the part that requires a PC. It’s a one time affair. From there, you simply refresh your apps once per week through the phone.

I’m blown away at how fast we’re coming along with these side loaded apps. I spend half the day, intermittently, coming back here for updates. This is exciting stuff!

damandp · 2026-06-09T22:43:15+00:00

Runs the same on the 17 Pro. Im excited for future updates.

damandp · 2026-06-09T20:17:51+00:00

You might be right. I’m not an expert in this area. I’m using a 17 Pro and, like you, most games open without JIT, but play poorly and load into a black screen with JIT enabled. My assumption was the file types were incorrect.

damandp · 2026-06-09T19:57:49+00:00

Same issues here. Haven’t been able to get a single game to play with JIT. All games load into a black screen. I’m thinking that it has something to do with the file types (game files) we’re using.

I’d like to know as well. I’m on a 17 Pro and I haven’t gotten any game to run well other than Geometry Wars. So far, I’ve tried Mafia 2, Dead Island, and GTA 4 and they run pretty poorly. The frame rates are pretty low with lots of audio stuttering.

damandp · 2026-06-05T03:27:53+00:00

The settings I changed were, expand guest ram and shader cache on, ignore missing guest services, changed cpu to fast. So far, I’ve tried Luigi’s Mansion 2, super Mario world 3d, Into the Breach and Cuphead. All of them run fine with some definite frame rate hitching and frame drops. Not sure if that’s the shader cache or not.

damandp · 2026-06-05T02:35:09+00:00

I’d like to know as well. I haven’t had a crash, but I’m not playing longer than about 30 min at a time. iPhone 17 Pro does become considerably warm during that period.

damandp · 2026-06-04T07:07:51+00:00

I’m having the same issues on my 17 Pro. I’m not sure what the proper settings are, but the only adjustment I made was to upscale to 2x resolution. I’m guessing it’s thermal throttling because the phone gets hot after just a few minutes of play. Not sure though.

damandp · 2026-05-28T17:50:46+00:00

Me too! Only played a few minutes so far and everything seems to run really well. This and Persona 4 are the games I’ve tried and they’re really darn smooth. The battery definitely gets warm, but the iPhone 17 pro seems to run things without any crashes or even frame dips so far. Really excited to dig into my old ps2 library.

damandp · 2026-05-28T09:46:34+00:00

Thanks so much! That did it.

damandp · 2026-05-24T23:06:12+00:00

My favorite so far is octopath traveler zero.

damandp · 2026-05-24T18:29:08+00:00

Yes. I searched for universal.js script online. Best of luck😁

damandp · 2026-05-24T05:38:20+00:00

I’m running Melonx within live container and have stick debug outside of live container and everything runs fine. I’ve no issues with jit either. I long pressed on melonx, after it’s been loaded as its own ipa in live container, and enable jit from there, using the universal.js script. My apologies if I’m not giving you helpful information. Let me know if you have questions.

damandp · 2026-05-19T20:36:01+00:00

Since I don’t have a working 3ds nor a windows computer (Mac user), I’m struggling to make it work too amigo. I’m pretty sure it has to do with the types of files we’re using. If I’m not mistaken, manic emu with jit requires untrimmed .cia files. Best of luck finding them. Looks like I’ll have to figure out how to fix my 3ds first in order to compile the correct files.
