What the heck dude? You know you’re not supposed to give out so many tips and save people time right? You’re supposed to spend ages waffling and have a sponsor take 1/4 of the video time! Seriously though, great video. Your style of having high production values paired with a down to earth relaxed way of talking simply and directly is just great!

[@rcvkjsdhdbdb]

This is actually crazy. I have no clue about any of this stuff, but I literally just Downloaded the apps, totally legally apprehended Mario kart ds off the internet, got the bios and started playing.

Man 1:06 reminded me of 2015, when I had emulators on my Android, directly downloaded from Google Play Store.

[@incan87]

Fr I had emulators on my android in like 2012 and he's saying noone has done it 😂

[@thrumbo]

My first time playing on emulator was ppsspp on android like around 2015/2016. And then around the same year, it was ps2 emulator, i think it was pcsx2 if i'm not mistaken

Thank you EU for forcing apple, emulation was one of the things that held me back. The d8 also has rumble and motion controls support btw

[@averagechadlegionary5824]

Now let’s hope they force them to allow JIT.. Without it stifles developers and is frankly anti consumer BC if we buy a premium product like an iPhone we deserve to take full advantage of the premium hardware we paid for.

If you connect a cable from an iOS device to Mac, even if you use Airdrop, it actually uses the cable if faster than the local wifi network it makes. recommend a usb 3.1 cable.

[@OZZYDRAYKO]

4.25 that .zip trick changed blew my mind. good video

[@sujezz]

So my first Iphone is Iphone 15 pro and I will not be buying any more Apple devices. You have different apps based on if it's mac/iphone/ipad. But Iphone is powerful enough to work as a laptop - but you don't have a desktop mode like android because it means there will be no need for you to buy a mac or a ipad (unless you need some specific feature like drawing on a tablet). I'll probably go with something like minisforum v3 and run arch.

[@verogazebo]

Good to see you bro

[@anthonytitone]

@@OwenRempenot exactly, the EU is forcing apple to allow side loading in EU countries, side loading still isn’t possible outside the EU but apple is allowing emulators into the App Store. I’d guess they’re doing this to lower demand for side loading in the rest of the world preventing more regulation.

[@MrRoyalgarcia]

I never got that excited before cause my Droid already does all that since the first google phone. My ipad is bigger so it's pretty nice

This brought so much life to my Iphone 12 pro max. All I need is a new battery change and I can use this iphone for many more years. Having the Dolphin emu on iphones would be cool one day not gonna lie. But been having a blast playing the Smackdown vs Raw games on my phone!

[@MindBodyWhole]

It’s been a while since I’ve been here with you at your channel. But It’s really amazing to see you thriving. An incredibly helpful and comprehensive video 😊 I love retro gaming and now really want to play SNES on my IPhone (the pull of SMW and DKC is just too strong!).

[@MindBodyWhole]

PS, I when out and bought a Backbone One 2nd Gen right after watching your video. Little did I realise how much it would change my existence. I’m sat in bed, streaming RE8 from Steam in my laptop, right to my iphone 15 and it plays seamlessly! ❤

My favorite way to move files to iPhone from windows is just installing iCloud on my pc. Then I can automatically sync the files from my iCloud folder to the phone, vice versa. And I don’t even have to stay at home and wait for it to finish!

[@hershmysson]

I've been playing Katamari on PPSSPP on my IPHONE 8, EIGHT, I had no clue this thing had that much power, goes to show how good emulation is, I'm almost regretting ordering an iphone 16 pro.

[@aaravambat2388]

This guide was so helpful, and It’s so good that apple finally allowed emulators (easily) on iPhone, so who knows maybe one day JIT emu will also come, and phones can become emulation beasts😄

[@jd_addy]

Brother, this is phenomenal KZbin content. You earned a sub and I hope to see more videos like this coming up. Blessings!

[@OIP_1]

i bought a handheld, then as a result of playing with it discovered retroarch and that i could just use it on my ipad mini with a 8bitdo controller. both are a great experience, but i think the ipad wins due to the screen size and the ergonomics of a dedicated controller. super cool.

[@juansotelo3996]

pretty cool, im using winlator to play gta v rn and emulation for ps3 exclusives like rdd is crazy good, apple is catching up to 2014 😅

[@JmanAnimates]

this video is an amazing resource. Thanks

[@MONSTRAOjogos]

amazing guide! thank you so much!!

[@GappuMerchant-j6n]

To achieve efficient emulation, Apple would need to provide more direct access to their CPU, allowing for just-in-time (JIT) compilation. However, their current security model restricts this access to maintain stability and prevent potential security risks.

[@XannieDaddie]

awesome to know finally its posible thanks bro

[@shannonpereiira]

The new Delta logo looks like an unsolved slide puzzle version of the old one

[@OptimusProvost]

Midnight Club 3 on PSP was peak gaming back in the day

[@maxrownes7914]

6:19 Ok to be fair the logo is identical, just stretched slightly, zoomed out, then the purple added instead of red. It’s a relatively boring logo then compared to now as well, so I think this was a good change.

[@HughJaeness]

As someone who played emulators on iOS 1.X.X, theyve always been great.

[@Splackavellie85]

As someone who actually used the first iPhone back then, you are lying.

[@halami2149]

I found the Lightning version of the PS back bone on eBay for $45 open box. It had the camera adapter in there, for phones with big camera bumps, like mine, and also the $25 PSN code hadn’t been redeemed. So I essentially got it for $20. Sure it might be outdated kinda soon, but it’s just $20, and the biggest Lightning iPhone, a 12/13/14 pro max, should still work decently

[@theblindbluebomber1666]

The one I'm looking forward to is ScummVM, which isn't *technically* am emulator (it's more akin to a collection of source ports) but point and click games on an iOS device just makes so much sense. (Edit: Game list? I've got a lot of them. Mystand ME, Riven, Myst 4 (Which I don't really expect to be working on iOS), all of the Lucasarts, some Humongus games, the Journeyman Project games, a couple of Sierra games. Probably Riven first since the remake *just* came out and I need the practice) And a side note related to PPSSPP, in theory it can crossplay with other versions of the emulator and even real hardware (with homebrew). That said I tried it years ago with my PC and PSP and I never could get anywhere, even *with* an old enough router to do it sitting around.
