Archive of RetroArch for iOS 5.1.1?

RetroArch Apple devices
#86

I understood how to build core and did big testing. :smile:

The commit it started with: d148d26 / September 19, 2016

At this moment, dyneric starts working on the iOS 5.1.1, but at the same time the application stops unloading from the RAM and any failure causes the entire system to freeze!!!

The code that is responsible for this is in the frontend/libretro.c file, commented as: ā€œmagic sauce to make the dynarec work on iOSā€. After removing this code, the application can be unloaded from RAM. This does not break dynamic recompilation.

Input data and test result is published here: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues/495

You can download the compiled version with fixes for iOS5 here:

pcsx_rearmed-2021-01-13_r22_b715d67_NO_SAUCE

This version are not signed with a developer certificate, but on a device with Jailbreak and AppSync should work(in my case it works). :slightly_smiling_face:

i just installed retroarch on this iPad 1 from weedy weeds cydia repo, it gets stuck in cydia on ā€œpreparing to unpack retroarch iOS 5ā€ for quite a long time before finishing, but after it does, on version 1.9.4 after installation it cannot download any cores , on doing so when i go to load cores it says directory not found, and if i tap load content it just crashes to springboard. any idea why this might be happening?

Hi guys. I updated my RetroArch with Cydia (iOS 5.1.1, IPad 1st Gen) and now the version is the 1.13.0, but it doesnā€™t work (closes as soon the title screen ā€œLibRetroā€ appears). Before the update, RetroArch works on 1.9.4, so I think the update was a mistake.

I know the topic is kinda inactive, but I think here is the most adequate place to search for an ipa file for the 1.9.4 version. Someone has it? I saw that the ipa compiled for iOS 5.1 has disappeared from the mediafire link posted here by @Weedy_Weed_Smoker too, as like in his Cydia repo for this version.

Thanks and have a nice day :slight_smile:

Could try this ios9 https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.9.4/apple/

Hey, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, same behavior as 1.13.0: closes as soon as it opens.

It is necessary a directly compiled ipa to iOS 5.1, I think. Which I suppose only existed in the @Weedy_Weed_Smokerā€™s repo, but now there is only 1.13.0 version for this iOS on there, but it doesnā€™t work for me (if works to someone, would be useful a post here).

Maybe one of these https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3b23i8j3tj062/RetroArch_1.9.0 Otherwise just find an older build from some ipa site and try

Hello @Weedy_Weed_Smoker

I have a iPad 1 and Iā€™m trying to install Retroarch on iOS 5.1.1, but for some reason the app crashes every time I launch RetroArch. Can you please help?
