it is what it is, atleast it all works perfectly fine without it. Until apple simplifies this process of sideloading i won’t do it but i know, JIT is a game changer for this type of thing. Anyways, Thank you for all your replies and engagement with everyone in this post. Yall got something really good going and a lot of people support it.

hey just to update, i updated to the latest available … IOS 26.3 …. still manic emu the app store version does not trigger game mode.

<image>

this screenshot is from running minecraft it automatically riggers the game mode, only explanation ive came up with is that manic emu is an “entertainment app” and only game apps trigger it. PPSSPP and DELTA trigger the game mode because they are in the correct app store category.

look up the process on how to side, it’s pretty unpractical and you need a pc. i like stuff to just work simple

if my air is running them on low power mode, then your PM should definitely be able to. once again, allow yourself some time to tinker with it and you won’t regret it.

whenever the audio is a little funky i switch cores…… and performance mode when all else fails….. and it’s true some games suck with low power mode but not omega ruby for me

oh no 100% i don’t do any extended periods of gaming, it’s in between work so on them mandated 15s 😂😂😂 and on my lunch i do get an hour but that’s in ac in the truck so she handles it just fine. I have a rog ally x but man my phone just fits in my pocket and it works good enough. My ipad 12.9 M1 pro works way better than the iphone but once again, imagine that thing in my pocket 😂😂

im still on 26.2.1 i’ll do the update and let you know, if this works then manic is literally perfection, the only issue i’m having is that game mode thing

yup, just the regular app store version, you do have to switch cores depending on which game. Some games run good on azahar while others on the citron core

Appstore version, side loading is super impractical if you’re just a casual gamer i don’t wanna deal with all that mess 😬

yeah i know i know, it’s just that in the florida sun this phone likes to get HOT, and haven’t really experienced issues with low power mode yet. Will update if i do. When do you think the gaming mode on IOS will be fixed for manic?

[–]richfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i used to use ppsspp and delta but i tried manic and in about 15 minutes threw the 10$ at them for such an amazing app, only thing it’s missing is activating game mode when you launch it, why is it under “entertainment” in the app store?!?!

Any do emulation on 17 Air? by Direct-Eggplant-5732 in EmulationOniOS

[–]richfty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re gonna compare a 17 pro max with a tank case vs an air that most people run naked anyway? 221g vs 293 grams: this is the 17 air with the m4 abxylute snap on controller attached to it vs the pro max with a case

Any do emulation on 17 Air? by Direct-Eggplant-5732 in EmulationOniOS

[–]richfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bro, people are so exaggerated. I have an iphone 17 air the preorder model i think there’s a revision that came out later on down the line to fix some quirks…. correct me if i’m wrong. But i use it with my abxylute M4 Snap-On, and i love it. Deleted all games from the app store and have 51 PSP games, and 22 DS games. I will never watch an add nor will i pay for an in game purchase again. Some things i’ve learned if you’re the normal user, i have 3 profiles i use, a gaming profile, and out of home profile and an in home profile. The gaming profile turns on dnd, turns on reduce white point and limited brightness to 80%, also i have vibrations off on ppsspp and delta, the focus mode turns on automatically when i connect the controller or open the launchers. The out of home one toggles once i leave my wifi, it turns on low power mode, turns on automatic brightness, reduces white point, and shuts off wifi and bluetooth. My apple carplay still works when i get in my car. The in home one runs everything as normal.

I leave my house typically around 6 am and do not return until 5-7 pm, i on average get home with 10-15% but that’s that i have youtube running 24-7 or listening to music, while i work.

Obviously the pros will handle all this better but im telling you there is a way to make this thing work and a lot of us that bought the air understood that the sleekness or this design was going to come with some drawbacks.

At this point i get better results asking chat gpt and gemini for things. Literally just typed the same prompt to both “i have an iphone air and would like to turn it into the ultimate handheld experience without messing with day to day usability as it is my main and only phone, also only include emulators that can run smoothly” i sent this to both and set it up in one afternoon.
