Thank you very much for compiling! But Cannot run. They don’t work! Please repair (cydia) Dolphin iOS and (retroarch) Dolphin core

@zzz0083 They don’t work yet… :slightly_frowning_face:

Oh…surprised…loss!

@Weedy_Weed_Smoker

The PS4 controllers (option and share) No effect

If only the next version could be used

.

@zzz0083 PS4 option and share buttons are working fine with RetroArch on iOS 13…

PPSSPP was not updated to use them as far as I can see, as I compiled it with the latest iOS dev tools…

Oh,now I see! But Only upgrade ios13 can work properly When you compile Update version…We can be used on IOS 12 option and share?

Because now ios13 can’t escape
Update ios13 It’s a bad idea sorry, this is robot translation!

@zzz0083 Oh yeah, sorry your iPhone Xr can’t be jailbroken on iOS 13… yet?

You can jailbreak iOS 13 on iPhone up until iPhone X and iPad up until iPad Pro 2!

Are there specific settings I should use to get games running in Flycast? Virtua Tennis keeps freezing in the opening screens before making it to the main menu. I’ve gotten to the point where I could start a match in Soul Calibur but it was painfully slow. Sometimes RetroArch crashes when trying to close out of a game. Everything is slow and unstable. I’m on a 10.5” iPad Pro (non-jailbroken) running iOS 13. I assume it’s fast enough to run Dreamcast. Is the core just not working properly in iOS?

@ThisMyBoomStick For Soul Calibur, use the no_exceptions version of flycast, and when it starts to go slow, open the menu, change the BIOS settings to hle, and change it back… You will lose the sound, unfortunately, but it will then run at full speed!

For Virtua Tennis, try the no_exceptions too!

That sucks. If Flycast can’t handle running games with sound then I consider it not working. I tried Soulcalibur and Crazy Taxi with Flycast no_exceptions with HLE enabled. It does make the game run at an acceptable speed, but the menus act like fast forward is enabled. Virtua Tennis won’t play, even when using no_exceptions and HLE. It keeps saying the disc is scratched (the game works fine with Redream on my MacBook Pro).

I’ve seen Dreamcast games running great using Flycast on a Raspberry Pie 4. It’s hard to imagine an iPad Pro isn’t up to the task in terms of power. Is iOS missing (or restricting) something Flycast needs to run properly? Also, what exactly is different with the no_exceptions version of Flycast?

@ThisMyBoomStick Yeah, that sucks (a little)… Actually, @jet082 is making all the cores work with iOS 64-bit, and he was confused with flycast, too…

If he’s not too busy, he may look into it again, in the meantime, he actually did some GREAT job making it work at all!

When updating 1.82 Can you join the core fbalpha_libretro_ios.dylib Some hack games need it FBNEO Can not replace

Thanks!

Hello @Weedy_Weed_Smoker and happy new year 2020! I was wondering if you were planning on making the 1.8.2 IPA file available for non-jb? Also do you know if DolpinOS is also available in IPA form?

Thanks! Happy new year everybody…

I’ll go home soon and upload the IPAs, I wanted to compile the latest cores so I could update them in the IPAs too before uploading…


Dolphin doesn’t have a non jailbroken version (yet, hopefully…) because of the JIT and memory usage have not yet been optimized for stock iOS…

You can use AltDeploy now (https://github.com/pixelomer/AltDeploy/releases) to install IPAs!

Is it also 7 days? I tried to upload RetroArchTV to testfight, but it failed. Has anyone tried?

ld: -segalign and -bitcode_bundle (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE=YES) cannot be used together
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

or
ITMS-90496: Invalid Executable - The executable 'RetroArchTV.app/RetroArchTV' does not contain bitcode.

Or does Apple TV App have other convenient distribution channels?

BTW, Only use by myself!

Hi Weedy, I know you already replied. I am on a Jailbroken Ipad 3, I installed retroarch for iOS 9 but I cannot install the cores from the app, is it possible to install the cores manually via file transfer from a Macbook for instance?
