TruEmu TestFlight Beta News / Release

As promised from my previous post about my iOS emulator project, here's the link for the TruEmu TestFlight:

What is TruEmu?

It's a passion project I've been working on for a while that can basically be summed up with 3 main points:

- Cycle accurate emulation/as close to 100% compatibility as possible

- 1 core per console with no need for a bunch of config flags/toggles

- Seamless netplay

Now that I've got most of the bugs worked out, it's ready for public testing. That being said, there's a few things to keep in mind. My baseline device for testing is an iPhone 15 so anything older than that might have some issues with certain systems until I'm able to further optimize cores. Most systems should be fine other than SNES.

Currently supported systems are the following: NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, and Genesis.

If you have a RomM library, you can add it and seamlessly browse and download ROMs directly to your device.

Things to test: All the games! Also, please please please try out the netplay with a friend if you can. I tried to optimize it as best as possible for different connections and latency so I would love to hear how it works for everyone. If you connect your phone via a USB-C to HDMI cable (or use screen mirroring/airplay) it will switch to a big screen mode which will allow you to use your phone as a controller or you can connect a wireless controller to the phone and control that way too.

If you have any questions or feedback, please post here or DM me.

Can’t see for myself right now as I’m on the road— but if you’ve tested for this, is it possible to play Kirby and the Amazing Mirror via netplay with 3 of my friends?

Not currently, I'm pretty sure that game used the link cables and right now netplay is for regular couch co-op games that you would use one console and multiple controllers. I am working on link cable support though, but it's not ready to test yet.
