touchHLE is a high-level emulator for iPhone's iOS applications, [2] targeting early versions of the system, running them on desktop PCs and Android. [3] [4] Currently it supports a handful of games. [5] The project is open source [6] and created by a developer on the nickname hikari_no_yume. [7]

touchHLE had its first release in February 2023 [8] supporting the game Super Monkey Ball, an iPhone app store launch title from 2008 [9] which was considered lost media because it didn't run on supported platforms. [10] Latest release supports other lost media games such as Doom II RPG. [11]
