Vita3KiOS 1.0.0

The first release of Vita3KiOS: the full Vita3K PlayStation Vita emulator as a native iPhone and iPad app.

Highlights

• Full Vita3K core: CPU recompiler, GXM → Vulkan renderer (MoltenVK), HLE, kept in sync with upstream
• JIT on iOS 26 through StikDebug's universal.js (from Tsubomi), set up in one batched step
• Install anything: .pkg, .vpk, .zip and dumped folders, including updates and DLC. Zips of .pkgs install in order (game → update → DLC); updates never ask for a zRIF
• Per-game sheet: settings, community patches (60 FPS, resolution, fixes), cheats (VitaCheat database built in), rePatch mods, updates & DLC, save backups
• Performance: 60 FPS mode, Fast CPU, upscaling up to 4× with FSR, background shader compilation, a shader cache kept between sessions, game threads on the performance cores
• Performance overlay you configure: FPS, frame time, CPU, memory, thermals, battery, resolution
• Game menu: screenshots to Photos, rear touchpad, show/hide controls, quit (✕ on screen, Home/PS on a controller, or hold Select + Start)
• Touch controls: drag and pinch them into your own layout; themes (PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo-style letters, Neon, Minimal)
• Controllers: MFi, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch, with remapping and a ✕/○ swap
• Motion controls that follow the landscape screen
• iOS integration: Home Screen launch links (vita3k://launch/<TITLE ID>), recent games on the app icon, "Open in Vita3K" from Files and Safari, external drives for storage
• Crash reports with the log one tap away; animated themes and original menu music

Requirements

iOS 17.4 or later on an A12 chip or newer, StikDebug for JIT, and your own firmware and game dumps. Game compatibility follows upstream Vita3K: see the compatibility list.
