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.
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.
Current progress on recording Bloons Festive Fun solutions:90/93, missing three were done in UDM, non UDM solutions are WIP.
Current progress on recording Bloons iOS solutions:None, but will record soon.
If there is a problem with a user, you can let me or another admin know on our talk pages.
Friending users on Ninja Kiwi's site
- Log in through https://ninjakiwi.com/flash/login
- Access profile through https://ninjakiwi.com/profile and remove the banner ads from NK somehow (inspect element is a common way, uBlock Origin is another)
- After clearing the garbage, search up the username of someone you plan on friending and follow them, then have them follow you back (or the reverse) and it will make both of you friends.
Legacy iOS recording setup
Unfortunately, my setups do not work with very low iOSes (iOS 4.3.5 in my case).
- 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. 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. If wifi ever stops being readily available, it also means I can still record footage, and unlike AirPlay, this works natively on Linux.
Sideloading iOS apps on Linux
I have a brief guide about 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.
List of ipa files I can supply
Note that for paid games still on the App Store, I will not supply ipas without proof of purchase. For games that feature a "restore purchases" button, please avoid pressing the button as it can brick you out of said game.
