Warning: Many repositories flagged as “Hollow Knight IPA” are actually emulator cores. They attempt to run the Nintendo Switch .nsp or .xci file via a hypervisor. Performance is abysmal (5-10 FPS), and they require jailbreaking due to hypervisor entitlements.

[Update] The Hollow Knight iOS port has been updated on GitHub!

The recent update to the Hollow Knight IPA GitHub repository has generated significant excitement among fans and developers. This update includes several key improvements and additions:

An iPhone/iPad (iPhone 13 or newer recommended for optimal performance). A Computer (PC/Mac) for initial setup. AltStore or SideStore installed. Method 1: Using MeloNX Emulator (Recommended)

Full native support for MFi (Made for iPhone) controllers, PlayStation DualShock/DualSense, and Xbox wireless controllers is integrated. Playing with a physical controller offers an identical experience to the Nintendo Switch version.

This is typically caused by a mismatch between the iOS version and the wrapper code, or missing game asset files. Check the GitHub project's "Issues" page to see if a patch or a specific asset layout is required.

But what does this phrase actually mean? Is it safe? Is it legal? And most importantly—does it actually work on modern iOS versions like 17 and 18?
