RDR2 just ran natively on an iPhone. Not through cloud streaming. Not through a jailbreak. Not through JIT. Madeira got Red Dead Redemption 2 running locally using your legitimate Steam copy of the Mac version. For a brief moment, it even hit 60 FPS before iOS power limits kicked...

This is not the macOS version of RDR2, as there is no macOS version of the game. It is the x86-64 Windows version of the game running through FEX and Wine.

this is definitely not going to replace gaming pc but it is definitely going to replace Nintendo switch 2.

There is no Mac version of RDR2. This is probably a translation layer that translates the game from Windows. Tho I really want to see Steam expand thier Proton layer to MacOS, IOS, and Android so we can officially play Steam games on them. That would be revolutionary.

"Natively" Sure, you wanted to say Emulated which is the proper way to say that it got running on a different architecture

It's fake I think it's not because iphone can't handle it it's because the emulsion on iOS is not that advanced yet

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.

while we don’t know for sure if the iPhone mirroring feature will come to the Apple Vision Pro, I sure hope it does. for now, it's available on Mac—i tested it and it's amazing! here’s how you can experience it on your Mac today: 1. make sure both your iPhone and Mac are running the latest beta versions of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. 2. position your iPhone near your Mac. 3. an icon titled "iPhone Mirroring" will appear on your Mac's Dock. 4. select the "Continue" button on your Mac. 5. unlock your iPhone when prompted. 6. on your Mac, click the "Get Started" button. 7. with your iPhone locked, open the "iPhone Mirroring" app on your Mac. this feature is a game-changer, and i can’t wait for the day it hopefully comes to the Vision Pro!

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 Galaxy running natively on iOS for the first time. GalaxyPad builds on ExpansionPak’s recompilation work, with Dolphin providing the Wii runtime and Metal renderer. Galaxy’s PowerPC game code is compiled ahead of time into native ARM64. That lets it run on iPhone and iPad without a jailbreak or a separate step to enable JIT, the runtime compilation Apple normally restricts on iOS. Dolphin still handles the Wii hardware environment. It also runs on iPadOS and Apple silicon Macs. It’s been mostly stable on my iPad at 2× internal resolution, and it looks great. I’m still working on making the iPhone version more stable. Astra helped bring the GalaxyPad integration to this point. Repo and details below.

Ocarina of Time, running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Not an emulator. Ship of Harkinian has run on Windows, Linux, macOS, Switch, Wii U, and Android. Never iOS. Now it runs on iPad, with iPhone in the build too. The game was decompiled to C and rebuilt as a native ARM64 app rendering through Metal. No N64 hardware being simulated, no ROM interpreted at runtime, no streaming from a Mac. It isn't stuck at the N64's 240p and 20fps. Widescreen, full resolution, 60fps. This game deserves a controller, so controller support is native. Pair a Bluetooth controller and play the whole thing. Touch, keyboard, and mouse work too. I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the iOS layer. Open sourcing it all below.

One of the biggest breakthroughs for iPhone emulation just happened. You can now set up SideStore, install StikDebug, and enable JIT without ever touching a Mac or PC. Thanks to SideInstaller by Frizzle, the entire workflow can now be done directly on your iPhone. Once everything is set up, enabling JIT is just a tap away. Highlights: • No computer required • Set up SideStore on-device • Install StikDebug on-device • Enable JIT in seconds • Pairing file import on-device • Live console logs • Process manager • GPS simulator • Automation scripts for iOS 26 • App expiry manager For apps like MelonX, DolphiniOS, and other JIT-powered emulators, this is one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades we've seen. Check the JIT setup video⬇️

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.

Banjo-Kazooie, running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Banjo: Recompiled is the native Banjo-Kazooie port. It is built with N64: Recompiled and uses headers and some functions from banjo.decomp for patches and enhancements. I built BearBirdPad’s iOS/iPadOS layer: UIKit and Metal support, Files setup, touch controls, saves, and input. Not an emulator. No N64 hardware simulation. No streaming from a Mac. The iPad build in this video runs at 60fps, in widescreen, through Metal. iPhone runs fantastic, too. Full touch controls are customizable. Controller, keyboard, and mouse input work. I used Codex 5.6 Sol for the iOS integration. Source 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.

Crash Team Racing, playable natively on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS for the first time. Not an emulator. The decompiled game code is compiled directly for ARM64. No PS1 CPU emulation, no PlayStation BIOS, no streaming from another machine. It isn’t locked to PS1 resolution. Run it at 1×, 2×, 3×, or 4× for dramatically cleaner tracks, karts, and geometry, while preserving the original textures, 4:3 presentation, and game timing. Touch controls are built in for iPhone and iPad. Controllers work across Apple platforms, with remappable keyboard controls on Mac. This video is from iPad.

A guy named Philip turned every old iPhone and iPad into a working second monitor for free. It is called OpenDisplay. It gives your Mac a real extended display using an Apple device you already own. You can use it for: > Messages > Spotify > Documentation > Video previews > Terminal windows > Reference material Download the sender on your Mac and the receiver on your iPhone or iPad. Connect them using WiFi or the charging cable. Your Mac creates another display, and you can drag any window onto it exactly like a normal monitor. The screen runs at native Retina resolution and can reach 60 FPS over USB. You can tap to click, drag windows with your finger, scroll using two fingers, and rotate the device into portrait mode. It even supports several devices at the same time. What I really like about this is that it doesn't need an account or subscription or some special dongle. Your screen travels directly between your own devices. Philip built the whole project alone and released the source code on GitHub. Your old iPhone was never useless. It was just waiting for someone to ignore Apple’s rules.

Someone vibe coded a Mac app that lets you grab images, windows and even your iPhone screen, then move them around your webcam with your bare hands. On a video call you normally share your screen or hold your phone up to the camera. This turns all of that into something you physically grab and move in the air. Here's what it actually does: → Pull any image, app window or a live mirror of your iPhone or iPad screen into your webcam feed → Use your actual hands to grab, move and resize them like real objects floating in front of you → Works in Zoom, Meet, QuickTime, OBS, anything that uses a camera → Hand tracking runs smooth and low latency, which is usually the exact part that ruins apps like this Everything runs locally on your Mac. Nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your computer, so you're not sending your screen through some random server like most virtual camera apps do. It's called Shacam.

100 MAC MINIS ON ONE METAL SHELF. IN THE CLOUD, EACH OF THOSE RENTS FOR $120 TO $500 A MONTH. that clip is a homemade rack: wire shelving packed with mac minis, each running macos, wired into one cluster. why macs and not a normal server? two reasons. you can only build, sign, and notarize ios and mac apps on apple hardware. cloud providers know it and charge for it. and apple silicon sips power and runs near-silent, so you can stack a lot of them on a shelf in a room, not a datacenter. the rent they're escaping: a single mac in the cloud runs ~$120 to $500 a month (macstadium up to aws) one engineer documented saving $4,000+ a month by self-hosting mac minis instead of cloud ci runners a used or new mini is a few hundred dollars once, then a few dollars of electricity what a shelf like this actually runs: ios and mac build farms, render jobs, app and device testing automation, and increasingly local ai inference. own the boxes, rent nothing. the uncomfortable part: the cloud was never the only option. it was the convenient one. the people who did the math bought the shelf. the honest caveat: it's real capex up front, real heat and power, and you become the sysadmin. no rented rack means no one to call at 3am. worth it at scale, overkill for one build a week. no rack rental, no per-hour metering, no fleet you don't own. save this before your cloud invoice renews again.

Touch controls or Apple Pencil when I pick it up. Switch between them whenever you want. Pairs great with the iPad keyboard case. It uses your own Steam copy. Scan a QR code with the Steam app to sign in, then play directly on the iPad. I wanted this badly enough that I made it. Source and setup below.

EVERYONE'S BUYING THE M4 MAC MINI AS A CHEAP DESKTOP. HERE'S WHY IT ENDS UP UNUSED. the pitch is irresistible: a tiny mac that runs cool, quiet, and cheap. then the receipt shows up. the mac mini ships with no screen, no keyboard, no mouse. add a monitor, a decent keyboard and mouse, and more storage, and the "$799 mac" is past $1,000 fast. and macos isn't windows. if your world is gaming, specific windows apps, or the setup you already know, the mini fights you the whole way. that's how so many end up back on a pc, the mini in a drawer. so what is the mac mini actually great at? not being your main desktop. it's the box you never look at. headless in a corner, it's a near-silent always-on server: run local ai models on it, host your automations, keep your files, and reach it from the laptop you already use. it earns its keep by disappearing. the honest turn: the mac mini isn't a cheap desktop. it's a cheap server pretending to be one. buy it for the job it's quietly brilliant at, not the one the ads imply. want a main computer? price the whole setup first. want a silent little box that runs ai and never bothers you? this is the one. no monitor in the box, no keyboard, no "just $599". save this before you buy the sticker price instead of the real one.

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.

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.

Pokémon Stadium, running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Pokémon has been all over X this week because of Gen1Recomp. That made me want to bring the original Pokémon Stadium to iPhone and iPad. Not an emulator. The game has been statically recompiled and rebuilt as a native ARM64 app rendering directly through Metal. No N64 hardware being simulated, no ROM interpreted at runtime, no streaming from a Mac. And it is more than a new way to play it. AnnePad fixes several of the crackle and audio-timing problems that crop up when Pokémon Stadium is emulated. I genuinely think it is the best way to play the original game today. Pair a Bluetooth controller and play the whole thing. Touch works too, and multiplayer. I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the Apple layer. Open sourcing it all 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.
