touchHLE is an open source[2] iOS emulator made by hikari_no_yume.[3][4] It works with games made for early versions of iOS.[5][6]

The first version of touchHLE, 0.1.0, was released in February 2023[7] and only works with Super Monkey Ball. The Lite version of the game, as well as Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D and Touch & Go, started working in version 0.1.2.[8]

touchHLE is a high-level emulator. This means the only code it needs to emulate is from the app and some libraries. hikari_no_yume said the emulator will never work with 64-bit applications.[9]
