touchHLE Now Compatible With 300+ Early iOS Games

Let’s be real—back in 2008, your iPhone was basically a fancy calculator with a game of Super Monkey Ball hidden in it. Today? That game’s gone. Vanished. Like your ex’s texts after a breakup.

Enter touchHLE, the quiet hero of mobile gaming archaeology. This clever emulator doesn’t fake an iPhone—it rebuilds it, from the ground up in Rust, letting old 32-bit iOS games run natively on your laptop or Android device. No jailbreaking. No firmware dumps. Just pure, elegant code magic.

Over 300 early App Store titles are now playable again—think Cut the Rope, Angry Birds (yes, even the OG), and other relics that Apple quietly buried when it moved to 64-bit. Without touchHLE, these games would’ve become digital ghosts.

It’s not perfect yet—but it’s getting there. And that’s the point: this isn’t about pirating nostalgia. It’s about saving culture before it fades into “remember when?” oblivion.

If you’ve ever stared at your dusty old iPhone and sighed, “I miss when apps cost $1 and didn’t track me…”—go grab touchHLE on GitHub. Your inner 2009 self will thank you.
