Emulators for iOS!
If you're jailbroken, just add my repo to Cydia (or Sileo… Or nitoTV!): http://johan.margueritte.free.fr/repo
Add to Cydia on your jailbroken device, add to Sileo on your jailbroken device
RetroArch 1.9.0 — The official reference frontend for the libretro API
Updated with a new French translation (by me!) and complete international support!
I couldn’t compile the latest versions of flycast and mame2015, so older ones were used in this case…
Install :
To install on a non-jailbroken device, use AltDeploy (https://github.com/pixelomer/AltDeploy/releases) (Cydia Impactor is NOT working anymore for now), you may have to re-install the .ipa every week if using a free account, or every year if using a paid developer account…
To install on a jailbroken device, just add my repo to Cydia by clicking this link on your jailbroken device, (this link for Sileo) or by adding this source to Cydia, Sileo or nitoTV: http://johan.margueritte.free.fr/repo
Or you can unzip the “.ipa” file (rename to “.zip”), and install to “/Applications” via SFTP or Filza — then type “uicache” via SSH…
ROMs :
You can use an app like iExplorer (or iFunBox) to add ROMs to the app (Or Filza if you’re jailbroken)…
I’ve included the ROMs for Cave Story (NXEngine), DOOM (PrBoom), Out Run (Cannonball) and Rick Dangerous (xrick) inside the “ROMs” folder, you can use that folder as the Start folder, and add or remove contents to it directly…
Optional Cores Install :
(Optional cores for systems already having better cores in the original package)
To install the optional cores inside the app just using Cydia Impactor, you can unzip the ipa (rename it to .zip), inside the “.app” is a “modules” folder, just add the cores to this folder…
After that just make a zip of “Payload” and “BundleMetadata.plist” with your cores included, and rename it “RetroArch 1.7.7.ipa”!
If you’re jailbroken, just add them via SFTP inside the “modules” folder in “RetroArch.app”…
