:A promising new endeavor that aims to run older iOS apps by reimplementing standard libraries instead of internal components. Because of this very high-level approach, no dump of the operating system is required. Its initial target is iPhone OS 2.x, with plans to support other 32-bit iOS versions, mainly 3.x and 4.x, as well as the iPad. Development started in December 2022, and its initial 0.1.0 release came out in February 2023. The only officially supported applications are [https://archiveappdb.touchhle.org/download/iOSObscura/iPhoneOS%202/com.ooi.supermonkeyball/ ''Super Monkey Ball''touchHLE supports a handful of apps] – the dev’s inspiration for the project – which is fully playable and runs at full speed, even with most apps that do not crash on mid-range laptops, as well as Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3Dthe start working absolutely perfectly. touchHLE supports running IPA files directly. [https://archive.org/download/smblite-ios2.0-clutch-2.0.4/smblite-iOS2.0-%28Clutch-2.0.4%29.ipa Super Monkey Ball Lite] and Touch & Go Lite, the only supported free games, are the third and fourth ones supported. A game controller is required to control the accelerometer.:Unfortunately, touchHLE is in some sort of a “fork hell” right now. Forks adding support for different has an app archive that currently only has two apps by ciciplusplus (which are in their GitHub fork of touchHLE, with all but one of them being a real pull request)touch and go and it’s lite version, among a few other pull requests adding more support for iOS apps by other people (in the open pull requests tab) which are balkanized licensed to be free to use with no version providing one complete version of all the touchHLE branches in one. There is no central :Unfortunately, touchHLE does not currently have a “canary” branch that adds which gets all the functionality additions of all the forks in one package right now, unfortunatelyit’s multiple concurrent pull requests.

:Previously unnamed and referred to as “devos50’s qemu fork”, Based on earlier work emulating the S5L8900 and the iPhone 11 in QEMU. It can emulate an iPod Touch 1G running iOS 1.0, including iBoot, the kernel, and the Springboard, although it requires a modified NOR and NAND image. Some features, such as audio and Wi-Fi, are not emulated, and there are multiple crashes. About a year later, the same user managed to run iPhone OS 2 on an emulated iPod Touch 2G, however internet connectivity is not figured out yet, and nobody has yet ran a 3rd party app via filesystem hacks as of now, as both networking and USB (iTunes) are unemulated and cannot be installed regularly.
