Play! iOS: The reason why Play Emulator keeps crashing

Like other modern emulator built to run on iOS, Play! iOS requires JIT to run. JIT is short for Just-In-Time compiler. It’s a method, like its name implies, to compile codes during execution, so the codes will then translated into device native code which resulted in faster performance. Apple quietly introduced this feature back in iOS 14.2. Many emulator starts making use of this feature because with JIT enabled, it greatly improves the emulator performance running on Apple devices. However knowing that people used the JIT feature outside what Apple initially intended (people are using it mainly for running emulators and VMs), Apple quickly pulled JIT out on iOS 14.4. That’s the reason, if you are on iOS 14.4 or above, you can’t get Play! iOS running out of the box.

This article will guide you on how you can bring back and enable JIT feature on latest iOS so you can run Play! iOS and play PS2 games on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Play! iOS:Prerequisites

These are the things you need to prepare to before being able to run Play! iOS. If there are certain things you don’t have / don’t know yet, don’t worry, as part of the installation and configuration steps, all the download links and how to create / configured them are shared in details.

Play! iOS: Steps to fix Play Emulator crashing error on latest iOS

The following steps are to be done to fix Play emulator keep crashing error, regardless on which iOS version you are. The method I’m sharing you here is called “wired tether method”.

Step 1) Connect your iPhone and ensure iTunes recognize it

Plug in your iPhone to your Computer. Open iTunes if it’s not automatically opened. Ensure your iPhone is recognized by iTunes and shown up on iTunes.

Do NOT unplug your iPhone until the rest of the steps here.

Step 2) Download libimobiledevice

libimobiledevice is set of libraries to communicate with services on iOS devices using native protocols. You can get libimobiledevice from the following link.

Choose zip file according to your Computer OS. Since I’m using Windows, so I downloaded the Windows version.

Step 3) Navigate to “libimobiledevice download folder” and unzip the “libimobiledevice.zip”

Once downloaded into “libimobiledevice download folder” (inside “D:Programslibimobiledevice”), unzip “libimobiledevice.zip” file and place all the files into “libimobiledevice download folder” (inside “D:Programslibimobiledevice”).

If you do it correctly, you should be able to see “idevice_id.exe”, “ideviceimagemounter.exe” and “idevicedebug.exe” under “libimobiledevice download folder” (inside “D:Programslibimobiledevice”).

Step 4) Open Command Prompt / Terminal, navigate to “libimobiledevice download folder”

On your Computer and assuming “libimobiledevice download folder” is located at “D:Programslibimobiledevice”, do the following:

Step 4a) Click on Windows button, type “Command Prompt”, then press Enter. Command Prompt window will then open.

Step 4b) Inside the Command Prompt window, type “D:” without the double quotes. Then press Enter. If your “libimobiledevice download folder” is different from mine, adjust the command yourself.

Step 4c) Inside the Command Prompt window, type “CD D:Programslibimobiledevice” without the double quotes. Then press Enter. If your “libimobiledevice download folder” is different from mine, adjust the command yourself.

If you are doing the steps correctly, now your Command Prompt should be showing the “libimobiledevice download folder” at “D:Programslibimobiledevice”.

Step 5) Getting iPhone UDID via Command Prompt / Terminal

On your Computer and assuming “libimobiledevice download folder” is located at “D:Programslibimobiledevice”, do the following:

Step 5a) Inside the Command Prompt window, type “idevice_id.exe” without the double quote. Then press Enter.

Step 5b) Take note of the 25 character (including the “-“) of your iPhone UDID. The iPhone UDID is shown in this format: XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (USB).

Step 6) Check and get Play! iOS Package ID.

On your iPhone, do the following:

Step 6a) Open AltStore app, then navigate to My Apps. Tap on “View App IDs”.

Step 6b) Find Play. Then write down the text you find underneath “Play”. It’s case sensitive, so be careful not to write them wrongly. This text is Play! iOS Package ID, which is unique on every device. The Play! iOS Package ID is shown in this format: com.virtualapplications.play.YYYYYYYYYY where YYYYYYYYYY refers to your unique Apple Developer Beta ID.

Step 7) Download Developer Disk Image.

This image is used to inject the Just-In-Time (JIT) code / program into your iPhone. Download developer disk image according to your iOS version. For example: If you are like me, using iOS 15, then download the developer disk image for iOS 15.

On your Computer, do the following:

Step 7a) Open your Computer browser and click one of the links. For iOS 15, you can go to the Link #1 (link below) to get the developer disk image. For other iOS version, check both links to get your correct version.

Step 7b) Once you have found the correct version that match with your iOS version, download the zip file.

If you are like me, using iOS 15, I download the 15.0.zip file.

Step 8) Unzip the “developer disk image.zip” into “libimobiledevice download folder”

On your Computer and assuming “libimobiledevice download folder” is located at “D:Programslibimobiledevice”, do the following:

Step 8a) Unzip “developer disk image.zip”.

Step 8b) Check the files generated. If you did it correctly, you should see 2 files: DeveloperDiskImage.dmg and DeveloperDiskImage.dmg.signature.

Step 9) Mount Developer Disk Image

This step requires your iPhone to be in unlock position with screen turned on. If the iPhone screen goes off, the process will fail and throw error.

On your Computer, with Command Prompt window is still opened and assuming “libimobiledevice download folder” is located at “D:Programslibimobiledevice”, do the following:

Step 9a) Inside the Command Prompt window, type “ideviceimagemounter.exe D:ProgramslibimobiledeviceDeveloperDiskImage.dmg” without the double quotes. Then press Enter.

Step 9b) Ensure you are getting “Status: Complete” message on Command Prompt window after executing the previous step.

Step 10) Running iDeviceDebug

On your Computer, with Command Prompt window is still opened and assuming “libimobiledevice download folder” is located at “D:Programslibimobiledevice”, do the following:

Step 10a) Inside Command Prompt window, type “idevicedebug -u <iPhone UDID>–detach run <Play! iOS PackageID>” without double quotes.

Replace <iPhone UDID> with your Unique iPhone UDID (check Step 5).
Replace <Play! iOS Package ID> with your own unique Play! iOS Package ID (Check Step 6).

Step 10b) Press Enter to execute the command.

Step 10c) If you run the command correctly with correct iPhone UDID and correct Play! iOS Package ID, Play! iOS app – the PlayStation 2 emulator app – on your iPhone will open.

Congratulations! You just enable Just-In-Time (JIT) code on Play! iOS via wired tether process. Now, it’s time to celebrate is by playing any of your favorite PS2 games. At this moment, it’s safe to unplug your iPhone from your Computer.

The original tethering guide was discovered by Jkcoxson and Spidy123222 for DolphiniOS (Nintendo Wii emulator for iOS), so all credits go to them. In this article, however, I have personally expanded the guide to be used for Play! iOS – the PlayStation 2 emulator for iOS – and by giving thorough explanations on each steps for easier reading and understanding, especially to those who are not geeky & not-so technical. In case you would like to see Jkcoxson and Spidy123222 original guide (but they are meant for DolphiniOS), you can refer to this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11_jju27qzhH_epq9XS1SlIlaBDPfvekRRYs5NS_ze_U/edit

Important things to note for Play! iOS

All the steps describe above is called (wired) tether method. Using tether method, it enables you to run Play! iOS app to play PS2 games on your iPhone as long as:

• Play! iOS app is active in AltStore (Play! iOS app will get inactive within the next 7 days), so don’t forget to refresh it. Refer here to refresh when it has been expired: Steps to refresh app inside AltStore when expired at JILAXZONE.
• Do NOT close nor kill Play! iOS app from the task switcher. If you accidentally close / kill Play! iOS app, you have to redo the tether process to continue playing PS2 games.
• Even if you don’t close / kill Play! iOS app yourself, whenever you are opening too many other apps on your iPhone, at one point, Play! iOS app will get closed automatically by iOS internal process. In that case, you have to redo the tether process.

Bring it all together

I have personally tested all the steps mentioned above on my iPhone XR running on latest iOS 15 and with Computer running Windows 11 and the result is I can get PlayStation 2 games to run. Few games I have tried personally were Final Fantasy X-2 and Zone of The Enders (image above), in which for both games, I can get good FPS (but they are still considerably slow, due to no FPS skipping). Final Fantasy X-2: 60 FPS on main screen, 38 FPS during battle, while Zone of the Enders, 42 FPS during game play.

So, follow the steps above to get your Play! iOS running and start playing great PS2 games! In case you have any queries or difficulties on this topic, don’t hesitate to ask by submitting your queries on the comment section down below, as I’ll be happy to help.
