Hello, I hope I'm not infringing on some unspoken rule here, or posting a "noob" question that has been already answered. If so, I'm extremely sorry and I'd wish mods would lock this thread.
Anyways, here's my problem:

I've managed to decrypt some of the apps I purchased a little while ago from the AppStore using a certain something on the iPhone (I won't name it since it seems against the rules in PS3 and PSP threads).
So I have ipa files.
I have noticed a lot of these files can be opened as regular zip files on the PC, with stuff like text and graphics perfectly accessible. I'm seriously looking into experimenting with translating J.J. Rocket and some of the Japanese-exclusive stuff as a start.

I'm interested in, say, "emulating" these apps (much like games are emulated from other consoles on PC), on a Windows environment. Hopefully heard however that iPhone simulators exist, but I haven't seen more than a browser-based one, much less one that can run modified commercially released apps on Windows.

Is that a thing already? I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could give me a tip, a keyword or anything like that.

First of all you need xCode to run any iOS app written by you, if you are trying to translate a game at least try to contact the developers who made it, because without the sourcecode there is no way you could do it.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
