An emulator allows you to run Mario Kart World on an iPhone 18 Pro consuming only 6.5 GB of RAM

Mario Kart World can now be run on an iPhone 18 Pro thanks to an emulator

The arrival of the Artificial Intelligence to programming has made this type of emulators advance at a dizzying pace. Proof of this is the rapid proliferation of modified versions of the recently announced nxnativewhich through an express modification has managed to function in a iPhone 18. This includes work to adapt Nintendo’s native API to the Apple one used by Metal and compatibility with the new NVN2 that uses the Nintendo Switch 2.

This modification that works in iPhone 18 Probasically on Apple’s Arm hardware, you can also do it on devices with only 8GB RAMlike the iPhone 16. The developer has told how he has made some memory adjustments to reduce it to just 6.5 GB of physical memory used to run Mario Kart World, a game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Splatoon Riders and Donkey Kong Bananza also work outside of Nintendo Switch 2

But this is not the only game that works outside of the Nintendo console, the most recent one has also been able to run Splatoon Riders on PCalong with another of the titles that has been developed exclusively for the Nintendo console, Donkey Kong Bananza. It seems that the latter do not have a performance in line with what the console can offer, but as the issue progresses, it may take a few days until we see positive results in this regard.

Positive for users, but not for Nintendo, which is seeing how its exclusive games that “force” you to buy the latest Nintendo console can disappear. At the moment, the developer who has managed to run Mario Kart World on an iPhone 18 Pro will not publish the source code of the project, and will leave it as simply a challenge proposed for itself.
