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!

[@AaronGarmon]

[@lllllll5990]

Apple is going into the gaming thingy so makes sense they’re allowing emulation

[@is4_626]

@@lllllll5990 yes because they see money in you. its crazy enough they didnt allow it before

[@OwenRempe]

@@lllllll5990 No. They didn't want to allow it... European Union forced them to.

[@danielgarmon1232]

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.

[@TheOswaldChannel]

Dude you uploadede this just in time for my lunch, it's a blast eating while I play your videos, thanks to you, I modded my switch. Keep up the good job dude

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 Sure it might be outdated kinda soon, but it’s just $20, and the biggest Lightning iPhone, a 12/13/14 pro max, should still work decently

[@sliver539]

[@kylehawton7483]

The irony is Steve jobs released the iPhone 3 years after the psp released, when you put into perspective how far iPhones have come, it’s mind blowing. never as a child would I imagine playing all my favourite psp games on a smart phone

[@xthestrawhat]

This is actually insane I’ve been wanting to do this since i was child like iPhone 6 days. I’ve done everything from jailbreak to paying delta to bypass stuff on my iPhone so I could play it without issues.

I can’t find the link you said you were gonna put in a description for the controller skins

I’ve been using Eclipse on my phone forever to play my retro games. Very easy process.

[@NiNGalaxU2]

I can't believe this. I have been wanting to play DS games on TV while ysing my phone as the 2nd screen and controller simultaneously for so long and never found a way! Now it's possible. That's just crazy

[@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

[@WxIIow]

Let’s go! I have been waiting for this for so long.

[@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.

[@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.

[@cristef]

Good job man!

[@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.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

This video is cool, but setting up RetroArch is a pain. I only got Crash Bandicoot 3 to run ONCE. Been working on it for a whole hour now smh.

You’ve been able to sideload emulators for a long time, but it’s pretty niche and has only recently gotten really good

[@user-np9hr3cf2r]

Yeah def, as if there were not already endlesd amounts of games on the AppStore. 🤡

[@yami7017]

Where do you get the delta skins?

[@g43s]

what are the games you played on the retroarch demo? they look fun.

[@madzo0omadz]

Apple is not allowing JIT probably because it’s keeping that card for their exclusive gaming move. Hideo Kojima’s game got ported on the iPhone. A PS4 game, on your smartphone. Let that sink for a second. It’s exciting but also disappointing because we have no idea if Apple will step up the game on gaming or just hoard the processing power and not use it to its fullest to release or “re-release” some solid games. I get both sides. I get the frustrated developers side who don’t want gate keeping and I get the revenue focused side, because that’s what every company in the world is created to accomplish. Your video was very informative. Thank you

[@andzim6562]

Gamesir x2s also a good alternative for type-c phones and quality is pretty good too and it works with iPhone 15 too

[@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.

[@jakeplayzyt5220]

You could’ve also mentioned WebRcade, AfterPlay, Eclipse, and Gamma

[@smgofdvld]

Hey Jeff I heard you need a subscription to use the backbone is that true I was thinking on picking one up for prime day but I’m not sure I’ll mostly use it for emulators and remote play
