GoldenPad 0.1.0 Preview 1

GoldenPad's first public developer preview promotes the statically recompiled
GoldenEye + N64ModernRuntime + RT64/Metal runtime to the primary iPhone/iPad
build. The earlier MGB64/Fast3D app remains GoldenPad Legacy for comparison.

Included

  • Native Apple ARM64 game runtime with RT64's Metal renderer.
  • Automatic high resolution, Native N64 and 2x modes, optional 2x MSAA, and
    N64 three-point filtering.
  • Physically accepted Xbox/MFi Player 1 controls and editable touch controls.
  • Separate iPhone/iPad layouts with drag, size, opacity and reset controls.
  • The accepted iPhone 14 layout is the clean-install phone default.
  • Native audio, persistent EEP4K saves, diagnostics, and return to main menu.
  • Clean installs default Unlock all missions to Off.

Installation

The release asset is an unsigned IPA for iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. Re-sign it
with your own Apple development identity or trusted sideloading workflow.

No ROM, save, extracted retail asset, provisioning profile, or signing identity
is included. Preview 1 expects a compatible, user-derived
GoldenEye_TLBFREE.z64 in the app's Documents folder; copy it with Finder file
sharing after installation. There is no in-app retail-ROM conversion flow yet.

Known limitations

  • Multiplayer is experimental and unstable. Split-screen flashing and match
    instability remain open; single-player is the supported Preview 1 path.
  • Occasional audio static and stage-specific geometry issues remain under
    investigation.
  • Graphics setting changes apply after fully quitting and reopening GoldenPad.
  • This is an unofficial source-available developer preview. No official,
    commercial, App Store, or rights-holder affiliation/clearance is claimed.

Verification

  • Signed device executable SHA-256:

The package verifier extracted 17 members and confirmed ARM64 primary-runtime
symbols, file sharing, dependency licenses, and the absence of ROM/save/signing
members, known N64 ROM headers, private user paths, and legacy MGB64 symbols.
