Do you know when this emulator will be completed and also will you be making a cydia repo for DolphiniOS

Really the only important thing that needs to be done is fix the OpenGL Renderer. After that games will still be slow but some games could be playable. I'd estimate a few months at the worst but it could be a few days if I or someone else was able to fix it

According to your recent commits, is the jit up and running. Only OpenGL left?

Maybe you (WilliamLCobb) could get some help from Libretro (Retroarch) or from the creator of Play! (The ps2 emulator for iOS)

@jpd002 ?

nfsvsgta avatar May 31 '16 05:05 nfsvsgta

Yes

jakeb072001 avatar May 31 '16 05:05 jakeb072001

So this is the GameCube/Wii emulator for iOS that @WilliamLCobb is focusing on. I want to help test it. Have you tried using the GLkit from Apple? Do not ask me how to add/embed that into an Xcode project because I don't know how.

Thanks @WilliamLCobb for adding dolphin to the cydia repo! The only problem now is that it crashes after loading. Do I need a bios or something? Anyway thanks for giving us the only GameCube emulator for iOS!

I've commited non working version a few times recently by accident. It should be more stable now. And yea JIT is going to be hard but it's looking kind of possible. If the next jailbreak allows JIT it will work amazing. All that needs to be done now are codesigning workarounds.

I don't think it will load on anything with less than 2GB. It maayyyy run on a 6 but you should close every other application. What devices are you guys using?

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 01:06 WilliamLCobb

It won't run on the iPhone 5s unfortunately. But the iPad Air 2 will be able to.

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 01:06 WilliamLCobb

I am using iPad Air iOS 9.0.1 (jailbroken). I think it's crashing because of loading starfield.dol. I'm downloading a rom now but I need to know where to put it.

jakeb072001 avatar Jun 01 '16 01:06 jakeb072001

That was done with an emulator streaming app instead of running on the phone.

And I'm about to make a system to add roms through Xcode or dowload

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 01:06 WilliamLCobb

I think the crash is due to the permissions not right which can be changed through ifile. Can you tell the directory of the Hombrew demo so I may check it out. It too crashes on my device iPhone 6 iOS 8.1. Let's hope iPhone 7 offers 4gb ram and 2.2+ single core clock. Will that be good?

nfsvsgta avatar Jun 01 '16 03:06 nfsvsgta

I use Filza but it should be the same for iFile /var/db/stash/_.K0bsYq/Applications/Dolphin.app The demo is called starfield.dol

jakeb072001 avatar Jun 01 '16 03:06 jakeb072001

Fix coming in next version

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 04:06 WilliamLCobb

Can't wait for the fix!

jakeb072001 avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 jakeb072001

It still crashes

nfsvsgta avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 nfsvsgta

With the permission changed.

nfsvsgta avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 nfsvsgta

I'm about to update to a new version. I'm getting 60fps on title screens and 20 in game.

You can also add roms through Xcode or download them

Controller will be added tomorrow

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 WilliamLCobb

Right about to refresh cydia

nfsvsgta avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 nfsvsgta

WIll probably be updated in 30 minutes

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 WilliamLCobb

Well congratulations on porting dolphin on iOS. By the way for further improvement u might wanna contact the developers of play! I don't mean that exclusively for the improvement of dolphin but also for improvement of play! Since that emu is facing some issues u seem to have resolved on dolphin. Any way lookong forward to controls. Ooh and I hope they are not as messy as the ones on android

nfsvsgta avatar Jun 01 '16 05:06 nfsvsgta

I don't know but somehow cydia won't install dolphin. As the download bar completes it just stays there and nothing happens. I subscribed to a 250mb data package and on just two attempts with a little waiting it reached just 6 mb remaining. What's up? Is there any rom included or something wrong with my device. Any one else experiencing this?

Hello, thanks so much for creating this for us. I can’t tell you how much I long to play more than SNES and Sega games, lol. I have an iPhone 6, running the beta of iOS 9.3.3. I cannot jailbreak because I didn’t stick around on an older version of iOS long enough, so I won’t get JIT, but whenever I try to compile or run the code as it was four hours ago, it says “Could not find Developer Disk Image.” Is this a problem I did, or is the code just not ready yet? I hope, though, that this can at least be ran on non-jailbroken devices, as I miss Soul Caliber when away from the Mac, lol.

Accidentally included roms in the app. About to fix the download

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 01 '16 12:06 WilliamLCobb

@Fadi5555 you put them in /var/db/stash/_.K0bsYq/Applications/Dolphin.app/Roms I have tried Luigis mansion but it crashed so I guess we can't play games just yet. Hopefully the next update fixes this.

Edit: just tried loading starfield.dol as well and it still crashed

jakeb072001 avatar Jun 01 '16 13:06 jakeb072001

Thank goodness

nfsvsgta avatar Jun 01 '16 13:06 nfsvsgta

Crashing should be fixed

WilliamLCobb avatar Jun 03 '16 03:06 WilliamLCobb

I feel a little out of the loop is there a Cydia repo for this and if so can someone please comment what it is so I can copy and paste
