  • [Discussion] TrollStore JIT enabler for apps
    I’m trying to enable JIT in Play! Emulator using Azula to patch the .ipa with TrollStoreJitEnabler, but it gives an error: “couldn’t copy dylib to workspace”. Azula is a mobile clone of Azule that should work on jailed devices (but it doesn’t atm), can someone jailbroken or with a Mac please try to patch it with Azule instead? Source: 5 months ago
  • Ok so I've been trying to get guitar hero ps2 to work
    There's an interesting project called "Play! emulator" tho Https://purei.org/ Using HLE emulation (no bios and mimicking hardware, much better) And even modern rendering with vulkan... But... it's not ready yet for the average user yet (As of today only 37.34% of the compatibility list is labeled as "Playable", so those game run with minor issues or smoothly). Source: 12 months ago
  • With the unfortunate news about AetherSX2
    Consider also starting usingPlay! , it's not on par with the compatibility as Aether but hey it's ad-free at least for now, I hope and will get proper updates. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Play! (cross-platform PS2 emulator) rendering performance improvement report
    The biggest problem of Play! Is that it is impossible to Google it. The website's domain purei.org doesn't connect to Play! Very well... Maybe the project needs a more unique name... Source: over 1 year ago
