Retroarch iOS Setup Guide On iPad/iPhone 2024

[@kazesh9148]

Mans grinding out emulation guides. Crazy how apple decides to now allow emulation thanks to EU bros. I cant wait for the 3ds emulator. Bouta hop on some MH4U

[@hamza.991]

I want apple to allow jit then we’ll get ps2 and wii/gamecube

[@pluto3603]

waiting for ps4/5 emulation! 😂

[@Gaea1]

​@@hamza.991, this!

[@Gaea1]

​@@pluto3603, won't be happening anytime soon, no iPhone is powerful emulate to emulate them. iOS can emulate xemu, an Xbox emulator, so when Jit becomes a thing, we can look forward to seeing an xbox emulator.

Bruh for 7z file you don’t need an app u just need to rename it from .7z to .zip and here you go

[@UrCasualGamer]

Or, as I said in the video, just tap the file, and it will extract without an app. But I couldn't get ps1 roms to extract without the use of one. I will try what you said, though, and see if it works.

[@702johnny]

You can’t tap .7z files. It won’t extract. You have to change the name to .zip. Then the stock files app will do it. Don’t need the unzip app.

[@leviskata]

the yt guy just started to ignore what he said just rename it lol

What if the ps1 game I wanna play is four discs. Is there anything special needed to have them run in order. Or do you have to load each disc once you get to the end of one of the discs

[@SomeOne-uh8ox]

hey it seems that my playstation games don’t show up after i import them/analyze the files do you have any tips ?

[@MarcBossYT]

Thanks for this video! Is it possible to run these games from an external source such as a usb? I have tried and it downloads the games from the usb instead of running it from it. Any help would be appreciated

Me too…..did u know the solution?

[@702johnny]

If you can get your hands on all the bios needed for the beetle hw core for ps1 That is a better core to use because of the upscaling capabilities. If not the games do not look great on the other two cores.

You probably live in a country that doesn’t allow emulation. You can set your location to EU to get access.

[@ArthurCallahan389]

@@arey256 you can download emulators which are the game systems & ROMs which is what the games are called on iPhone, droid, and PC. If you google it you can find all kinds of sources and there are instructional videos all over KZbin. It’s not very hard to do once you watch a video or read how and not hard to find either.

I'm not getting the Retroarch folder file to pop up in my files on my iphone. What do you think?

[@UrCasualGamer]

Have you opened retroarch? Then go back and check on my device and also icloud to make sure it didn't go there.

[@mattperri3786]

Ran into the same issue. Solution: after running RA for the first time, exit RA and go to your phone's settings and restart the phone. Once logged back into your phone, go back to Files and the RA folder will be there. I was pulling my hair out with the same issue until I looked it up and found the restart solution on Reddit. They really need to include that in their documentation specifically for iPhones. iPads don't have this issue.

Thanks for heads up I will get iOS iPad for future. And problems is I’m worry about delta emulator right now and vimm lairs is taking down the roms. And I don’t get too excited.

Hey man, I am new to this RetroArch. Can you guide me as to which emulator is the best overall per console? Example, SNES has a lot of emulators in RetroArch and etc., which one should I use? Thanks!

[@leviskata]

use snes9x. the one without year numbers in it

[@ryane8485]

nes - FCEUmm, SNES - SNES9x, works with 99% of all games Genesis/segaCD/mastersystem - Genesis plus gx, Playstation - PCSX Rearmed, best until swanstaion gets ported, if ever Gameboy/color-Gambette, If you need Super gameboy coloring, then mGBA can do that. GBA - MGBA Hope that helps getting you started, and you can always try another emulator and see how it runs. but these are the best for each system and are the defaults on projects like retropie and batocera

[@leviskata]

​@@ryane8485 i would say use mGBA for all GB, GBC and GBA

[@leviskata]

also for NDS: melonDS DS N64: Mupen64Plus-Next GLES3

Thanks, guys!

[@SRC267]

This is great but Apple won't be pleased with this. Emulators cannot be distributed on iOS due to security policies.

[@LeGeeked.]

What do you mean they won’t be happy? They literally had to allow emulation because of EU laws and what not

[@SRC267]

Ah well they still aren't happy. But being forced so yea I guess they have to allow it. ​@@LeGeeked.

Emulators are allowed on iOS officially by apple now that’s why they are on the app store
