iOS 0.2

Version 0.2 adds a native setup launcher and the first settings pass, plus the controller and New Game renderer fixes.

What's new

• Import your retail PC game folder through Files; check startup files and select Play.
• Touch-button and pressed-button opacity sliders.
• Controller visibility: Automatic, Always show or Always hide. Hidden controls also stop accepting touch input.
• Horizontal/vertical touch-camera sensitivity and invert-Y preference.
• Optional compact FPS and average frame-interval display.
• Basic logging by default; opt into Detailed for performance samples and bounded traces.
• Export a diagnostic report or clear logs with confirmation.
• Back up and export existing save slots without replacing the originals.
• Settings reset preserves saves, game data and custom button layouts.
• App icon for iPhone/iPad.
• Includes IndecentDad's physical-controller visibility fix and the MGL texture-deletion fix for the New Game/front-end crash.

Downloads and installation

Simpsons-Hit-and-Run-iOS-0.2.ipa is an unsigned arm64 iPhone/iPad build, version 0.2 (build 2), targeting iOS 15.0 or later. Sign it with your own Apple account using a compatible sideloading tool. This is not an App Store or universally signed IPA.

No retail game files are included. This is the PAL/EFIGS PC-data build. Import your own compatible installed retail PC game folder using the launcher, or transfer it into Documents/game through Files/Finder. Console ISOs and ZIP import are not supported.

Install over the existing app using the same signing identity/bundle identifier to retain its data. Back up your saves first. Deleting the app also deletes its local game data and backups.

The inspected IPA contains the executable, dependencies, touch-control artwork, app icon and release documentation. It contains no game_assets folder, retail game archives, save slots or embedded signing profile.

• Source code (zip / tar.gz): GitHub's archives for this tag, below.
• Release-Documentation-0.2.zip: installation, launcher/settings guide, controls, credits and dependency notices; also included in the IPA.
• ffmpeg-6.0.tar.xz: unmodified source for the statically linked FFmpeg dependency. Build options are in ios-project/build-ffmpeg.sh.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: checksums for the uploaded packages.

See installation, settings and save backups, and known issues.

Validation and limitations

Device and simulator Release builds passed. Automated checks cover settings policies, value clamping, frame-rate measurement, diagnostic filtering/clearing, persistent-log concurrency/rotation, startup-file validation and the texture-deletion regression. Simulator UI checks covered settings persistence, diagnostic export, and byte-for-byte save-backup copying with the original retained.

The user confirmed FPS display and controller visibility on iPhone 17 Pro Max / iOS 27.2 beta. Prior user retests confirmed game-folder import and that the New Game crash no longer occurred. Broader devices/data editions, longer sessions and full-story completion remain unverified.

The FPS display measures game frame submissions and average frame interval, not GPU execution time. Basic versus Detailed logging has not been performance-benchmarked. Save restoration is manual through Files; there is no automatic restore button in this release.

This unofficial iOS adaptation builds on Carlox33's Android port and ZenoArrows' earlier platform ports. See the included credits and third-party notices.

Game files are not included

Built with SRR2_IOS_EMBED_GAME_ASSETS=OFF; the finished IPA was inspected and contains no retail game data or bundled game_assets directory. Touch-control artwork is included.

After signing and installing, open the app once, close it, then copy your own retail PC game files into Files → On My iPhone/iPad → Simpsons Hit & Run → game. Use a compatible PAL data set. Keep art, movies, scripts, sound and the .rcf archives directly inside game.

See installation instructions for the complete layout, Finder transfers, updates and backups.

Status

Includes touch controls, controller support, external game-data loading and recent iOS streaming/rendering improvements. This is an early release: performance, mission transitions, background/resume and full-story completion still need broader testing.

Validation for this package: successful device Release build, arm64/iOS platform, minimum deployment target 15.0, version/build, IPA integrity and absence of game data. No new physical-device gameplay validation was performed during packaging. See known issues.
