Hi all, I’ve never used anything like retro arch before but I am very interested in playing ps1 games on my iPad so I found a video on YouTube and wanted to follow the steps so I went to emu4ios.net and when I click install on retro arch it comes up with that message about changing the date so I ok that and then get a box which asks to install … On the video it starts to install and the guy changes the date but for me I keep getting a box pop up saying “unable to download app, retroarch can not be downloaded at this time” so my question is how can I get past this?
As I said I’m a newbie at all this and also a newbie with apple products but I do hope some one can help me
The only info I can give you is I have a iPad Air running iOS 7.1.2
I’ll help you! First of all, you are using a unsupported build, because is like pirated. Then is very difficult someone here helps you because of that. Second, you have a iPad Air on iOS 7.1.2, what i do recommend you, is go to pangu.io and download a copy to jailbreak your iPad, so that you have the original build by installing the RetroArch repo. The bad news is that you cant play PS1 on iOS 7.1.2 because i guess is not supported for A7 devices(Crash when loading roms)… but you can use the other cores. Its going to be updated soon so, you better hurry up. Trust me when i tell you, that you are going to have a very bad experience using that unsupported crap build.
What Incognit said. I have an ipad air as well and once RA gets updated to fix the bugs (mainly with the psx rearmed core crashing) with A7 devices on 7.1.2, I’ll be updating it to 7.1.2 (currently still on 7.0.6). Regardless, the first thing you’re going to want to do with that beast of a device is jailbreak it, especially if you want to do some serious game emulations on it. If you haven’t already done so, jailbreak it with the latest version of the pangu jailbreak. Here’s a link with easy step by step instructions to go by:
Then once the jailbreak is complete and cydia is all ready to go, add this source in cydia: libretro.com/cydia/
Then install Retroarch officially from that source.
