It will include a core update. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v5.0.0b5...v5.0.0b6

* Fixed TXM check for non-jailbroken devices running iOS 26.6 or newer. (thanks @StephenDev0) * iOS 27 is still broken and requires additional work. The next update will be sometime after the next official Dolphin release. It will include a core update. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v5.0.0b4...v5.0.0b5

**[StikDebug](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stikdebug/id6744045754) version 2.3.0 or newer is required on iOS 26 devices.** LiveContainer will also require some additional setup. * Fixed a crash when using JIT on devices running iOS 26 with an A12, A13, A14, or M1 chip. * Added additional JIT information to the Debug menu to assist in debugging problems. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v5.0.0b3...v5.0.0b4

**[StikDebug](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stikdebug/id6744045754) version 2.3.0 or newer is required on iOS 26 devices.** LiveContainer will also require some additional setup. * Added support for the Skylanders Portal of Power in Skylanders games for the Wii, courtesy of @deReeperJosh. * Enable "Emulate Skylander Portal" in Settings -> Config -> Wii and select "Skylanders Portal" in the in-game menu to load a figure. * Fixed an issue where devices with an A15+ or M2+ chip running iOS 17 or 18 would crash when starting a game in JIT mode. * Fixed an issue where "vm_map" errors would randomly occur. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v5.0.0b2...v5.0.0b3

**[StikDebug](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stikdebug/id6744045754) version 2.3.0 or newer is required on iOS 26 devices.** LiveContainer will also require some additional setup. * Fixed an issue where some controller options would be incorrectly disabled. * Fixed an issue where there was a typo in text pertaining to "memory size" overrides. * Added additional alerts to help debug a crash on some devices running iOS 18 and older. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v5.0.0b1...v5.0.0b2

* Added support for JIT on iOS 26. * **[StikDebug](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stikdebug/id6744045754) version 2.3.0 or newer is required on iOS 26 devices.** Using other JIT enablers may cause DolphiniOS to crash. * Enabled Liquid Glass on iOS 26. * Added new Liquid Glass app icons by Kongolabongo. * The Dolphin core was updated to 2509. * Save states made in previous versions of DolphiniOS are not compatible. GameCube memory cards and Wii in-game save files are not affected. * Sped up Cached Interpreter by approximately 10%, courtesy of TellowKrinkle. * The version number has been increased to 5.0.0 to prevent confusion with DolphiniOS forks. ## For Developers * Due to changes made by Apple in iOS 26, Xcode is no longer a supported JIT enabler on devices utilizing TXM (A15+ or M2+) running iOS 26 or newer. * If you are running DolphiniOS within Xcode, you will need to use Cached Interpreter or switch to an older device to use JIT. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v4.0.0b9...v5.0.0b1

* The Dolphin core has been updated to 2503a. * Save states made in previous beta versions are not compatible. GameCube memory cards and Wii in-game save files are not affected. * Fixed keyboards not showing up in the devices list in controller settings. (#201 by @SamoZ256) * Added a temporary fix for CMake 4.0+ compatibility. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v4.0.0b8...v4.0.0b9

This is the fourth revision of beta 8. ### Changes * The Dolphin core has been updated to 2412. * Save states made in previous beta versions are not compatible. GameCube memory cards and Wii in-game save files are not affected. * Added new app icons based off the macOS icon introduced in Dolphin 2407. (thanks Kongolabongo and @brand175 for the new iOS icons, and thanks MayImilae for the original macOS icon) * No JIT mode (**very slow**) has been added. (thanks @brand175) * When launching a game without JIT enabled, you can now choose to start it in No JIT mode. * The "waiting for JIT" screen can be bypassed entirely by manually changing the CPU Emulation Engine in Settings -> Config -> Advanced to Cached Interpreter. * No JIT mode is **very slow**. You will need a high-end device (like a recent iPhone or iPad Pro) and to enable speed hacks (VBI Skip, CPU underclock, etc) to achieve playable speeds. * Added a button to import BootMii NAND backups in the software list. * This is useful for those who want to play Wiimmfi online. * No JIT users beware: Wiimmfi will ban devices that run below 100% emulation speed in Mario Kart Wii. We recommend that Wiimmfi should only be used in JIT mode. * Added experimental support for rootless jailbreaks. * Added a menu to check which buttons are being pressed on physical controllers when mapping buttons. * Ported "Respect Silent Mode" toggle from Delta. * This setting controls whether DolphiniOS obeys the Ring/Silent switch on your device. If disabled, then audio will play even if silent mode is enabled. * Find it in Settings -> Config -> Audio. * Added Game Mode for devices running iOS 18. * Re-implemented the touch screen Wii pointer. * A new default mode has been added: "drag". This mode allows you to use your touch screen like a laptop trackpad when moving the Wii pointer. * The mode used in 3.2.1 and earlier is still available as "follow" mode. * Choose the mode you want as default in the top bar menu during emulation or in Settings -> Controllers -> Touchscreen. * Re-implemented automatic disc changing. * When a game asks for a different disc, DolphiniOS will automatically insert the correct disc into the emulated disc drive. * Both disc files must be imported (i.e. in the Software folder and visible in the software list) for this feature to work properly. * If it still does not work, ensure that "Change Disc Automatically" is enabled in Settings -> Config -> General. * Re-implemented the touch screen transparency level slider. * Re-implemented support for multiple save state slots. * Re-implemented the Open button in the software list. * Re-implemented the Delete button in the software list. * Re-implemented the Launch GameCube Main Menu button in the software list. * Matched the refresh rate of the `MTKView` to the display's refresh rate. * GameCube and Wii games do not run above 30/60Hz. * This is only for testing purposes. * Fixed many crashes, freezes, physics bugs, etc when using Cached Interpreter. * The fix for this bug (disabling "fast math" mode in Xcode) will likely result in a slight performance decrease. * While fast math does make math calculations run faster, it also causes [some calculations to return incorrect answers](https://simonbyrne.github.io/notes/fastmath/). * Accuracy is vital when emulating software. When fast math returns a wrong answer for a calculation, it can cause crashing and other bugs in the emulated software, as they always expect to receive correct answers. * For example, the Wii's System Menu immediately crashes when using Cached Interpreter in previous 4.0.0 beta builds, as the math used to calculate whether the pointer is hovering over a channel or not returns incorrect results. Disabling fast math fixes this issue. * Fixed an issue where the bottom of the "waiting for JIT" screen was cut off on some devices. (thanks @brand175) * Fixed an issue where booting Wii software during the first launch of the app could cause DolphiniOS to crash. * Fixed an issue where the state of the "Enabled" switch in the menu shown when mapping controller buttons does not save properly. * Fixed an issue where the toggle for VBI Skip in Settings was still using its old name, VI Skip. * Fixed an issue where the top bar could get dismissed while using the menu. * This was fixed by removing the code which dismissed the top bar after 5 seconds. * You now need to manually dismiss the top bar by pressing the "eye with a slash through it" icon. * Unfortunately, there is no way to check to see if the menu is open, so this was the best solution I could come up with. * Fixed an issue where the software list was not refreshed when importing new software. * Fixed an issue where device motion did not apply to the Nunchuk. * Users who are updating from an older beta version will need to re-import the Touchscreen default profile in Controllers to apply this bug fix. * Hid some options in the debug menu when DolphiniOS is built in release mode. * Updated MoltenVK to 1.2.8. * [The latest version of MoltenVK is incompatible with Dolphin due to a bug](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/issues/2403). ### Revisions * Revision 2 was released shortly after the initial revision was published. * Fixed a problem with the build creation process which caused builds to not show up on GitHub. * Revision 3 was released on Jan 17. * Fixed a problem with the app icon not showing up on SpringBoard. * Fixed a problem where the version number was not updated to beta 8. * Fixed a problem where using Vulkan would cause colours to appear oversaturated until the app was restarted. (thanks @brand175) * Revision 4 was released shortly after Revision 3. * Fixed a problem where the touch screen controller button images were not included in the app. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v4.0.0b7...v4.0.0b8

The full changelog can be found here: https://github.com/OatmealDome/dolphin-ios/compare/v4.0.0b6...v4.0.0b7. This version fixes several critical bugs found in 4.0.0b6. Enabling JIT is still required on non-jailbroken devices. However, Apple made changes in iOS 17 which broke all JIT enablers. Please be aware that, as of the time of writing, **all JIT enablers that support iOS 17 require a Mac**. We are currently monitoring the situation with sideloading in Europe. We will have more to share once Apple and/or the European Commission releases information about how it will be implemented. # User-Facing Changes * Worked around an issue which causes fastmem initialization to fail (#115). * Fixed an issue which causes the app to freeze and/or crash when changing graphics settings. # Developer-Facing Changes * The UI thread is now the host thread while emulation is not running. When emulation is running, the host thread is whatever thread is executing for the host queue. * Calling `DOLHostQueueRunSync` on the host thread is now possible. * Calling `DOLHostQueueRunAsync` while on the host thread is now an illegal operation.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from the TrollStore build of 4.0.0b2, your save files, settings, and imported games will appear to have been deleted. Due to a bug, DolphiniOS was putting the data in the wrong folder. If you want to recover your data, move the contents of the folder `/private/var/mobile/Documents/DolphiniOS` to the folder listed in Settings -> Debug -> Environment -> User Folder. ## User-Facing Changes * The status bar is now hidden during emulation. (issue #54, PR #58 by @icelaglace) * Removed the Software Renderer from the list of available graphics backends. * This backend never worked in the first place because OpenGL is not supported. * Fixed a bug which could cause the app to crash when attempting to clear the screen while stopping emulation. (issue #56) * Fixed a bug which caused the graphics backend menu to not set the correct backend. (issue #57)
