I used Fable 5 to port Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour to the iPhone and iPad! This is the actual 2003 engine compiled for ARM64 natively, no emulator. Campaign, skirmish, Generals Challenge all work with touch controls built for an RTS. Open sourcing it all below!

@richkuo7 So the main effort here was just to add touch controls? Had the community already done the hard part of getting it compile on ARM and render on Metal?

The division of labor is the top question, so worth being precise. GeneralsX (credited in the README’s second sentence) solved: compiling EA’s source on macOS/Linux, the DXVK-native renderer on desktop, OpenAL/FFmpeg substitution. What it had zero of, because nobody had done it: an arm64-ios cross-build of the engine or any dependency; DXVK built for iPhoneOS (including a loader patch: iOS confines dlopen to the app bundle, so DXVK can’t find MoltenVK without one); read-only-bundle asset/config handling; iOS lifecycle management around the Metal drawable (resign-active fires without backgrounding; touch the drawable then and you crash on resume); the signing/packaging pipeline; and the touch interaction layer. Plus root-causing bugs that upstream has on all platforms (the radar alpha-fallback and a streamed-speech stop-detection bug), with fixes heading back upstream. The repo history and docs/port/ log show exactly which is which. I’d rather over-credit GeneralsX than under-credit them, but “added touch controls” describes about a sixth of the work. Then I’ve got a Renegade port working too, and that had no prior art and a very different setup than Generals X, so the model is definitely more than capable!

Inspired by Ammaar Reshi getting C&C Generals running natively on iPad, I did the same for Warcraft II using Codex 5.6 Sol. It's the open-source Stratagus/Wargus engine compiled for ARM64, rendering through Metal via SDL2. No emulator, no x86, no streaming from a Mac. Campaigns, skirmish, and save/load all work, with touch controls. First time I've seen Warcraft II run natively on iPad. Open sourcing it all below.

Paper Mario, running natively on iPhone and iPad for the very first time. Not a general Nintendo 64 emulator. PaperPad runs statically recompiled arm64 game code directly on the device. No JIT, no downloaded executable code, and no streaming from a Mac. The pmret community tons of time decompiling Paper Mario. SMCGames built Paper Mario ReCut around N64Recomp, N64ModernRuntime, and RT64. I built the iPhone and iPad app around that existing work. It runs great on both iPad and iPhone. I added touch controls and separate layouts for phone and tablet with controller support. There are still a couple of bugs being worked out, but the game is playable. I used 5.6 Sol for the PaperPad specific Apple integration. Open sourcing it all below.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert, running natively on iPad and iOS. Not an emulator. RAtouch is built on TheAssemblyArmada’s Vanilla Conquer, a project that preserves Red Alert’s original simulation. Tap selects and orders. One-finger drag box-selects. Two fingers move the map. Hold brings back the original right-click. Pinch zooms the presentation.

Diddy Kong Racing, running as a native iOS and iPadOS app for the very first time. Not an emulator. Golden Balloon brought Diddy Kong Racing natively to desktop and the web. Never iOS. It runs great on iPhone and iPad! The game is compiled as a native ARM64 app and rendered with WebGPU through Metal. No N64 hardware is being simulated, no N64 instructions are interpreted at runtime, and nothing is streamed from a Mac. This is a racing game, so controller support was non-negotiable. Pair a controller and play with native analog input. I used Sol 5.6 and Deepseek-V4-Flash to build the Apple layer. Open sourcing it all below.

Metroid Prime, running native and stable on iPhone and iPad for the first time. No emulator. No streaming from a Mac. This is EctoPad. Built on Metaforce, the native Metroid Prime engine developed by AxioDL and its contributors, it plays great on both devices and runs at full speed on iPhone 14 and newer. Touch controls, controller support, and 4x internal res. I am still working through a visual issue that causes some textures and lighting to render inaccurately, along with a smaller problem affecting the first tutorial door. Sol 5.6 was used to make this possible. Open sourcing it below.

GoldenEye 007 N64 running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Not an emulator. The GoldenEye decompilation community spent years reconstructing the original game. GoldenEye64Recomp, N64Recomp, N64ModernRuntime, and RT64 provided the static recompilation, runtime, and rendering foundations. I built GoldenPad on top: the iPhone and iPad app, touch interface, native audio and saves, controller support, and the mobile lifecycle work needed to make it run on real devices. It runs great on iPhone. GoldenEye runs better through GoldenPad than it has in any N64 emulator I have tried on iOS. Native ARM64 code, high-resolution Metal rendering, and modern dual-stick controls make a huge difference. No JIT, no N64 code being interpreted at runtime, and no streaming from a Mac. This is the original 1997 N64 game, not the XBLA version, and it is not based on GoldenEye Metal. I am actively working on full local split-screen multiplayer for iPad. MacOS support soon. I built the iOS and iPadOS integration with 5.6 Sol. Open sourcing it all below. Happy Friday!

Super Mario Sunshine, running natively on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS for the first time. This is static recompilation, not a GameCube emulator. Sunshine’s PowerPC code is recompiled ahead of time into native ARM64 code. It runs locally and renders through Metal. No streaming from a Mac. ExpansionPak built DolRecomp and ModernGekko. Dolphin provides the compatibility runtime and Metal backend. I built SunPad: the Apple integration that turns that work into a real iPhone, iPad, and Mac app. On iPhone and iPad, it has full touch controls, controller support, 1×–4× internal resolution, experimental widescreen, local game import, and saves. It runs great on M2 and above iPad Pro and Apple Silicon Mac. The iPhone build is here too. Sol, Fable, and Deepseek-V4-Flash were used. Source, IPA, and full build guide below.

Caesar III, running natively on iPad and iOS. Caesar III has never had a public iPad build. As far as I can find, nobody has even posted video of it running on one before. Not an emulator. CaesarPad runs Augustus as a native ARM64 iPadOS app. No Windows machine being simulated, no game being streamed from a Mac. The game was built for a mouse in 1998. Apple Pencil might be better. Place buildings, draw roads, open advisors and run the city by touching it directly. Fingers move and zoom the map while Pencil handles precision. Classic Age of Empires will have to wait. This Saturday, we build Rome. I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the iPad layer. Open sourcing it all below.

Mario Kart 64, running natively on iOS and iPad, with touch controls designed for racing. The Mario Kart 64 decompilation community spent years reconstructing the original game code in C. Harbour Masters turned that into SpaghettiKart, the source port. I built the iOS layer on top. Not an emulator. The game code is compiled for ARM64 and renders through Metal. Your ROM is only used to generate the asset archive, on device. No N64 hardware being simulated, no streaming from a Mac. It isn't limited to the N64's original output resolution, and MK64 Reloaded's HD pack replaces the original artwork on top of that. That's the pack running in the video. Steering is genuinely analog, not left and right taps. Separate layouts for iPad and iPhone, and optional tilt steering. Pair a Bluetooth controller and it takes over. Four-player selection works and two-player split screen runs. Two other public SpaghettiKart iOS builds exist, Sunset-Dawn's and rebelancap's. Both install on an iPad. Neither was built around one. SpaghettiPad is. I built the iOS integration with Codex 5.6 Sol. Repo, guide, and IPA below.

I used Codex 5.6 Sol to make the original Diablo actually playable by touch on iPad. Diablo was always point-and-click. Now your finger is the mouse. Tap gold on the floor and your character walks over and grabs it. It's built on DevilutionX, the open-source Diablo engine a group of contributors has maintained for years. It already ran on iOS, with a virtual gamepad. What didn't exist was a version built around the touchscreen itself. Open sourcing it all below.

Animal Crossing running natively on macOS, iPhone, and iPad for the first time. Not emulated. The original Animal Crossing for GameCube rebuilt as a native Apple Silicon source port. ACreTeam decompiled the game. The ACGC-PC-Port contributors got it running as native code. Encounter built Aurora, the generic graphics and platform foundation that can render GameCube-style games through Metal. Codex 5.6 Sol used that foundation to get the actual Animal Crossing game running through Metal, then built Bellpad around it: the Apple Silicon migration, macOS app, iPhone and iPad app, Files import, touch controls, controller support, save import/export, native text entry, and the IPA pipeline. I set the goal, did the research, and directed the testing and iteration. Full source and IPA below.

Instead of emulating the GameCube CPU while you play, Melee’s original code is converted ahead of time and compiled into native Apple code. MeleePad builds on ExpansionPak’s DolRecomp and ModernGekko, plus years of work from the Dolphin team. I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the Melee-specific iPhone and iPad app on top, with touch controls, controller support, higher resolutions, saves, and settings. Preview 2 is focused on online play. Private rooms with simple shareable codes already work in development, and I’m building an in-app list of open games. Melee is one of the most legendary games ever made. People never really stopped playing it, and I certainly didn’t. I loved getting this working, and I’m excited for people to check it out. Preview IPA below.

Super Smash Bros. 64, running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Not an emulator. BrawlerPad is built on BattleShip, which already supplied the SSB64 source-port core, Apple Metal path, and SDL controller/audio stack. BattleShip ran on Apple Silicon macOS and Android. There had never been a public iOS or iPadOS port. Now there is. The game logic is compiled into a native ARM64 app and runs through BattleShip/libultraship’s Metal/Fast3D path. No N64 hardware is simulated, and no ROM is interpreted at runtime. Smash deserves a controller, so BrawlerPad supports physical controllers through the same input path as the game. Touch works too. I used Codex 5.6 Sol on the iOS integration. Full build guide and source below.
