SunPad for iPhone & iPad
SunPad
SunPad brings Super Mario Sunshine to iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Mac, and experimentally, Apple TV through ahead-of-time recompilation. It combines Metal rendering, touch controls, controller support, and local game-image import in a native Apple experience.
Game Requirements
- Supply your own supported copy of Super Mario Sunshine.
- Import your game image locally into SunPad.
- Apple TV support remains experimental.
Credits and Technology
SunPad is built with ModernGekko, developed by Hyperway, ExpansionPak and contributors, and DolRecomp, using the RecompCore / Dolphin runtime.
SunPad provides the Apple app and Sunshine-specific integration. Refer to the full credits for contributor acknowledgements, including Apple TV contributions and AI and artwork provenance.
Source Code and Maintenance
- Maintained forks: ModernGekko, RecompCore, and DolRecomp.
- Runtime and compiler dependencies use pinned submodules.
- The source graph documents the separate Apple and tvOS versions.
What's new in SunPad v0.2.1
Oct 4, 2026SunPad 0.2.1 for iPhone and iPad. The app below contains no game code: PadMint adds the game, made on your Apple Silicon Mac from your own Super Mario Sunshine (GMSE01) disc, and saves your SunPad IPA.
What's new:
• Opens on iOS and iPadOS 27. SunPad 0.2.0 was built with Xcode 27 but still used the older app startup, so iOS 27 stopped it at launch (#54). SunPad now starts through a UIKit scene (#55). Checked: the app below declares its scene and passes the package checks; not yet checked on a physical iOS 27 device.
Get it:
Open PadMint (0.3.9 or newer), choose SunPad and your own disc image, and follow the page. The full steps are in the README. Already have SunPad? Install the new copy over it with the same tool and Apple ID; back up your saves first as usual.
Files:
- SunPad-v0.2.1-ios-unsigned.ipa: the app without game code. PadMint uses it; it can't play by itself.
- SunPad-v0.2.1-padmint.json: the recipe PadMint follows for this version.
- SHA256SUMS: checksums.

We host no IPA file for this game. It is installed from the developer's App Store listing, or through the free IPA Game Store app, which also installs from the App Store. How we check files · Report a problem
- Check before you install. Only install IPA files from sources you trust, and verify the checksum and signature first.
- Developer: chrissotraidis
- Sandboxed. iOS runs every app in its own sandbox. A game cannot read your other apps' data without asking you.
- Age rating n/a. Use Screen Time to limit in-app purchases on a child's device.
- Avoid "modded" copies. Modified IPAs that promise unlimited coins can include tracking code and can get your account banned. Read more about IPA safety.
