The PROBLEM with iPhone Emulators…

The PROBLEM with mobile emulators… and how to fix it! 👀😈
As you probably know, Apple FINALLY allowed emulators on the App Store this past week and while this is an amazing way to experience your favorite retro titles on the go, the experience isn’t ALWAYS perfect.
Using something like a Backbone controller or even a Bluetooth console controller paired with the iPhone is a MUCH better experience and I definitely recommend trying it out.
If this tip was helpful, share it to someone else who might benefit from it! 🙏🏼❤️

Real Apple users have had emulators since the original iPod video days, we had no problems when we evolved to touchscreen back then. Sure the ipod video may have had buttons but it was still wonky, touching and pressing did two different things, so having touch screen buttons back in the day was a godsend.

Interesting fact- Android emulators are so advanced, you can use a PSVits emulator to emulate a PSP to emulate an NES and still have a great experience. Let us give an applause to Apple for barely emulating a GBA without JIT, which means bad DS performance on older iPhones.

[@PistazienBaum07]

3Ds*

[@WillBowers]

It comes down to an issue with Apple devices being based on ARM architecture. That’s why you can’t do very good GameCube stuff yet on iOS, Apple isnt allowing the proper JIT conversion yet

[@saiefjoy2906]

An iPhone 6 can run a DS game at full speed without JIT. An iPhone 11 can run a DS game at full speed without JIT and a 3ds game at full speed with JIT. A 15 pro can run a 3ds game at full speed without JIT. If Apple allows JIT in the app store, you will get better performance on iOS devices for emulators compared to their android counterparts. iOS devs have been working on emulators since 2014. That explains why these emulators released so fast. It's just Apple stopping them with all these restrictions. iOS devs are already working on Switch Emulation.

[@speedracer123222]

⁠@@WillBowersyou can very well emulate Wii on iOS. Just not installing via the AppStore. Been playing Mario galaxy at 3x res on 15 pm on DolphiniOS. Jit is the issue entirely, Apple not allowing jit on distribution certificates (AppStore/Testflight apps) is annoying. It’s only allowed in developer certificates which is for when using Xcode or tools like altstore/sidestore.

[@speedracer123222]

I have been in both also. iOS had emulation before AppStore just wasn’t as easy. Using tools nowadays like SideStore or altstore does add a hindrance but is still more nice than jailbreaking on an older iOS to install play the ps2 emulator or DolphiniOS for gcn/wii. I like how on android it was open much earlier, I’m not fan of its interface atleast back then but has gotten much better. I honestly don’t care about the phone wars. Just use what you prefer at this point. It has more things it can do than just emulation after all.

Something really cool I’ve noticed is Delta allows you to add skins, and some skins allow you to put the fast forward key within the skin, so you don’t need to pause the game every time to fast forward and vice versa. Whenever I press the screen, it toggles the fast forward option. This is useful since when I play PKMN ROM hacks and I want to battle, I can FF gameplay, and then go back to regular speed running around or interacting with NPCs. It’s a definite useful feature
