TomoFix - MeloNX
enhanced for TL:LtD.

I personally installed the apps with “Load Ipa” function.

The game. You can
download the game ROM
on your iOS device but
i did on my PC. Also,

forgot to put this.
BTW you’ll need to
find a ROM by
yourself, make sure
you check the safety
of the ROMs you
download
———-
-I. iOS device:
-II. ProdKeys and
Firmware - (you need to
search for them by
yourself)
Required for
MeloNX to unlock. You
need 22.1.0 for both,
but you can try other
versions if the game
crashes. once you
download ProdKeys,
UNZIP IT IN FILES.
-II. LocalDevVPN -
Required for StikDebug
to work.

#_-STEPS:
,,
-I’I”. From iloader,
download the original
MeloNX first, Get More
Ram, StikDebug to your
iOS device. Install
through “Load IPA”.
-I’II”. Once StikDebug
downloads on your iOS
device, go back to
iloader on your PC and
go to “Manage Pairing
Files” that is under
the Log in.
-I’II”I”’. There
should appear the apps
that you downloaded to
your iOS device and
among them, StikDebug.
Right next to it,
click “Place”. This is
so that StikDebug
works.
-II’. Once Get More Ram and MeloNX downloads on your iOS device, open Get More Ram.
-II’I”. Go to
Settings and Log in.
-II’II”. Once you log
in, go back to App IDs
and click “Refresh”.
The apps that you have
sideloaded should
appear, among them
should be MeloNX.
Click on it and then
on “Add Increased
Memory Limit”. Wait
10-15 secs and then
exit the app and
reinstall MeloNX with
iloader. This is so
that the emulator
works.
-III’. Download Prodkeys and Firmware and insert them into MeloNX for it to unlock.
-III’I”. Go back to
iloader and download
MeloNX TomoFix. The
original MeloNX should
update to MeloNX
TomoFix.
-IV’.(Skip this step if you downloaded TL:LtD ROM on your iOS device.) Send the “Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream” full game file from your PC to your iOS device using iTunes, guide on how to do it -
-V’. Open MeloNX TomoFix, open the built in Settings and make sure you got these settings:
“
Shader Cache: On
VSync: On
Docked Mode: On
Macro HLE: Off
Resolution: 1.00
Anisotropic: 1.00x
Dual Mapped JIT: On
Memory Manager Mode:
Host Unchecked
PTC: On
Ignore Missing
Services: On
Disable FS Integrity
checks: On
“
-VI’I”. Before you
launch the game, long
click it and there
should be a button
“Tomodachi Life:
Living the Dream
Settings”, open it and
then do the same as
you did in the regular
settings.
-VII’. Turn on LocalDevVPN to access StikDebug, once you open it the apps that you installed through iloader should appear, click on MeloNX TomoFix to enable JIT for it.
-VIII’. Now you can launch the game.

ALSO, expect the game to crash because its like brand new. In the next MeloNX update, the devs said it’ll be possible to play the game but i don’t know the timeframe of the release.
i saw alot of people don’t understand this guide so i’m sorry cuz i dont really explain well, ill make a video about it on tiktok soon(in 6-10 hours after i get home from school)

keep in mind that its better to emulate the game on pc right now

“
Tomodachi Life used 7GB
RAM in my 25 minute play
test as the stats onscreen
show, meaning it’s not going
to run,
without crashing, on ALL
current iPhone models,
including the iPhone 17 Pro
Max. Although the iPhone 17
Pro Max has 12GB RAM,
Apple has restricted the
device to 8GB RAM, giving
the same RAM capabilities
as the generation before but
no improvement.
Only 16GB RAM devices will
be able to play this game
currently without crashes.
Turning off Docked mode
will reduce the amount of
RAM required, and turning
off the shader cache will
also reduce RAM usage, at
the cost of performance.
Coupled with regular saving
and you might be able to
play this game without
loosing too much progress,
hope this helps people
somewhat… Switch
firmware I used was 22.1.0
