Welcome! I am Desarch, an Administrator that specializes in legacy iOS Bloons games. Even though I specialize in legacy iOS Bloons, this does not mean I do not play other Bloons titles on occasion. You can contact me privately through email ([email protected]) or Discord if you want help with legacy iOS (iOS 10 and below) related matters, or want legacy iOS Bloons ipa files.
Welcome! I am Desarch, formerly an administator here, now simply a user specializing in legacy iOS Bloons games. Even though I specialize in legacy iOS Bloons, this does not mean I do not play other Bloons titles on occasion. You can contact me privately through email ([email protected]) or Discord if you want help with legacy iOS (iOS 10 and below) related matters, or want legacy iOS Bloons ipa files.


I also now have a matrix space (equivalent of a discord server) about tech and the arts, message me on @desarch:matrix.org if interested.

*Before March 2025, I mirrored my iPad 2 footage onto my PC by using AirPlay. I used 5kPlayer but I highly recommend using a capture card instead. I have however not tried using Reflector, which may be a better AirPlay reliant software.

*Starting March 2025, I now use an EVGA XR1 Lite with an adapter that lets me connect it with my iPad 2. Footage is much smoother with this method, and less of a hassle now that I can record it with OBS. If wifi ever stops being readily available, it also means I can still record footage, and unlike AirPlay, this works natively on Linux.

Footage is much smoother with this method, and less of a hassle now that I can record it with OBS. Note that unlike AirPlay, this works on iOS 6 and above rather than just iOS 9 and above, allowing for a wider range of devices.

==Sideloading iOS apps on Linux==
I have a brief guide about [[User:DesArch/Sideloading on Linux|Sideloading iOS apps on Linux]]. This by extension includes jailbreaks involving sideloading, but may not guarantee jailbreaks that do not involve sideloading. This also covers backing up save files on iOS devices.

Note that this may not work on non-standard configurations, like NixOS.

*In cooping with someone during BTD6 Freeplay, I noticed that I was getting a much smoother experience than them. They used a CPU where the L3 cache was only 16MB compared with my 96MB. Thus, I suspect "3D V-Cache" as AMD calls it, makes a significant impact in high-intensity performance for BTD6.
