6 months ago, I had a dream of running RDR2 on an iPhone. I wasn't sure if it could be done, but I decided to try anyways, by building a general-purpose Windows PC games emulator for iOS. I am extremely happy to announce that this dream has come true!

Red Dead Redemption 2 is running at 30+ FPS on an iPhone 18 Pro. No PC, no streaming, fully on-device via Madeira. x86-64 → arm64 with FEX Windows → iOS syscalls with Wine DX12 → Metal with the madeira-d3d12 runtime What AAA game should we get running next?

This is really cool but why is Mario red in this port instead of his signature yellow?? Unplayable...

Sorry lmao the compression is so bad, but it seems to top out just under 6.5GB usage. This should barely run on 8GB phones like the iPhone 16. And actually it would run very comfortably with Stossy’s donor memory trick to bypass jetsam limit.

That’s crazy man! How’s the benchmark looking there? Can’t really see it properly, do you think an iPhone 16 could run it?

Mario Kart World on iPhone 18 Pro via my private nxnative fork. Physical memory usage is fairly low due to implementing userspace file-backed memory (swap like). Disclaimer: I will not be releasing the code for this project anywhere.

It's happening: Nintendo Switch 2 emulation/recomps on PC is now a thing. Incredible how we went from nothing to first emulation results in just a few days.

For clarification, I own this game and dumped it on my own Switch 2 via the FS exploit.

Wow they finally did the 30B class model! Looks amazing, I’ll start downloading it right away :)

🚀Excited to announce Nanbeige4.3-33B! To push the performance ceiling of small agents, our strategy in Nanbeige4.3 starts with building a powerful teacher first. Nanbeige4.3-33B delivers SOTA agentic performance among open models at ~30B parameters: * Strong results on agentic coding and cowork benchmarks. * When integrated into mainstream agent harnesses, it tackles real-world tasks with cost-efficient inference. * It will serve as a teacher for upcoming smaller Nanbeige models, starting with Nanbeige4.3-3B. huggingface.co/Nanbeige/Nanb… huggingface.co/Nanbeige/Nanb… #LLM #Agent

An iPad just ran a PS5 binary. Not streaming. Not Remote Play. No PS5 in the room. No console emulator. The PS5 build of Dreaming Sarah, relinked by AnyPS5 and booted on an M2 iPad: walk, jump, talk to NPCs, music, touch controls. Here's how it works 🧵

This project has been very fun to work on, with much more coming soon :) 30 FPS with perfect rendering in RDR2 should be possible!

Red Dead Redemption 2 is now running on an iPhone 18 Pro. No PC, no streaming, fully on-device. Translating DirectX 12 to Metal with custom runtime that leverages DXMT's airconv for SM5 shader conversion. This is an experimental build of Madeira with graphical glitches.

UE4 game running on iPhone 17 Pro with Madeira!

Play Stray on your iPhone with Madeira. 🐈‍⬛ The game runs directly on-device. No cloud gaming. No remote PC. No streaming. Windows PC games running on iOS.

Windows games can now run on iOS! Sneak peak of what I'm working on...

Dead Space just ran on an iPhone. Not through cloud gaming. Not through Remote Play. Fully on-device. Madeira brings Windows PC games to non-jailbroken iPhones. It combines: • Wine WoW64 • FEX x86-64 translation • DirectX 9 → Metal (DXMT) • JIT via StikDebug

The rumours are right. 0xalpha is absurdly good. It figured out an issue Fable and Sol have been kicking back and forth for a few hours now.

Ox Alpha is frontier. wtf. Seriously wtf. Tencent? Xiaomi? Really? It's more well-done than any other Chinese model. I swear, it's better than Kimi K3. It's good *in ways that Chinese models are typically horrible at*. It's FAST I can half-believe it's a stolen Claude checkpoint.

42 on DeepSWE at 27B is absolutely insane! I hope it holds up in practice. I'll test it on my MacBook right now, thank you Qwen team!

Not quite K3 based purely on benchmarks, but it's much smaller and WAYYYYY cheaper. Also it could still be better in practice in many domains. I'm excited to see what everyone thinks of it and try it myself!
