 # Reverse Engineering iOS Games
 
+## touchHLE: High-Level Emulator for Early iOS Games
+**touchHLE** is an open-source high-level emulator (HLE) written in **Rust** that runs classic apps from the early iPhone OS era (specifically versions 2.x and 3.x) on modern platforms like Windows, macOS, and Android. 
+
+Created by **hikari-no-yume**, the project focuses on preserving early mobile gaming history by dynamically recompiling ARM code and reimplementing Apple's system frameworks (such as UIKit and OpenGL ES) rather than emulating the full hardware. 
+This approach allows titles like *Super Monkey Ball* and *Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D* to run with enhanced performance and resolution scaling.

+### Driver iOS (2009) on touchHLE Emulator
+[VortexStory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dviPm_e33pk) showcases the 2009 Gameloft iOS port of *Driver*, now playable via the high-level emulator touchHLE. The video explores this previously "lost" mobile version through gameplay of the Car Park tutorial and Pursuit mode, demonstrating how file modifications can enable controller support and remove on-screen touch overlays.

+### Popular iOS 2.x Games (2008+)
+iPhone OS 2 first introduced the App Store and with it came a bunch of "AAA" game studios aiming to tap into the market, some of these games are quite fun and worth playing others are maybe not as fun but could be fun to reverse engineer.
+
+Games released for iPhone OS 2 were compiled for the 32-bit **ARMv6** processor so they will **not** run on 32-bit ARMv7 devices (iPhone 3GS+) or any 64-bit devices.
+
+They can run on later versions *only* if the developer shipped a dual-architecture binary (ARMv6+ARMv7). Many early App Store games never did this, so some games are ARMv6-only and thus can only run on the iPhone (2G) and iPhone 3G!
+
+
+These games require a minimum of iPhone OS 2.x (latest 2.2.1 recommended) to run and the reviews of these games come from the Bookazine **iPhone Games Directory** Volume 001 from 2009 to give time-period accurate reviews.

 ## Frida: Dynamic Instrumentation Toolkit
 **Frida** is a world-class dynamic instrumentation framework created by **Ole André Vadla Ravnås** that allows developers and reverse engineers to inject custom scripts into black-box processes. It enables users to hook functions, trace APIs, and manipulate application behavior in real-time across a wide range of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX, without requiring source code or recompilation.

+### Reverse Engineering the MOS 6502 CPU
+In this detailed technical presentation from the 27th Chaos Communication Congress, [Michael Steil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWqBmmPQP40) explores the inner workings of the MOS 6502 processor, the chip powering iconic systems like the Apple II, NES, and Commodore 64. 
+
+The talk breaks down the reverse engineering process into three distinct approaches: top-down (analyzing the instruction set and quirks), bottom-up (using acid decapping and high-resolution die shots to vectorize the transistor netlist), and inside-out (simulating the logic to understand undocumented behaviors and illegal opcodes). This work culminated in the **Visual 6502** project, a transistor-perfect simulation of the hardware.
