iPhone NES Emulator Pulled From App Store "Out Of Fear"

Would be easier to just buy a Device that isn't as overpriced and closed.
My Motorola did cost 300€ and it runs all kind of Stuff vers nice, mostly i am using Devilution X (Diablo) with a Controller, as i am not the biggest Fan of Touch Controls.
PSX and N64 Emulation does run very nice, didn't try anything above, but a Source Port of Doom 3 runs with about 25 fps, but i haven't tested it much, Quake 3 runs flawlessly.
And yes, i have a USB Hub at Work, so i can just play with Keyboard and Mouse haha
Dosbox Magic does cost, but it is pretty well done to make an easy use on such a Device.

@Azuris People who want iphones, want iphones. Its like a status symbol or something. If you like games, music, movies, art, sports, or... just about anything, an android phone is the way to go, and it's not even close.

Silly move imo. Unless he's stolen Nintendo code or something, there should be no legit reaon he can't have an emulator like this on the App Store if Apple is okay with that. Again, unless he's actually stolen some Nintendo code or something, despite what it might actually say, Nintendo really shouldn't have any legit say in this at all. Emulators are legal in and of themselve and also protected under law as far as I am aware.

@LowDefAl
I mean, those are acronyms, not the actual names of the systems. I don’t know that an acronym can be trademarked?
Anyway, cowardly move. If anything, yes, just remove the explicit acronym from the name.

@Mr_Monochrome

i would be shocked if AT+T, AMC, MSNBC, IBM, et al are not trademarked.

He did the right thing, whether Nintendo is coming to get him or not is questionable. Taking the risk out of his life is better than leaving it in to applease the brokees. Emulators and emulations in general are legal but there's a few bunch of individuals who used it for illegal means and those are the ones that ruins the game for everyone.

@Poodlestargenerica How are Death Stranding, Warframe, Re8, and Re4 remake on android? I bet you have a much better experience playing those AAA games on Android than I do on iPhone.

@NateM94 Honestly I'm not sure, I can only speak to emulation.

@NateM94 I assure you they all run better on steam deck.

@Arcata and I bet a dedicated desktop runs better than a steam deck. That wasn’t the goalpost, so what exactly is your point?

@NateM94 If your gonna game portably you probably dont wanna do it on your phone when you can have something like a Switch or a Steam deck thats the only point I was trying to make.

@Arcata That is your personal preference, but not everyone wants to purchase a whole other device when they already have one that plays games. Not to mention they now have to carry that whole other device around with them wherever they go of they expect to be able to game portably, while a phone is already going to be with you. You literally have to bring a bag to carry it in too. Where as a phone and a slim controller attachment or an 8bitdo Zero just fit in your pocket or in the case of something like a jrpg, you can just grind XP with the touch screen at anytime without a controller. Then you have to worry about an outlet wherever you are, because in my experience, Steam Deck has the best battery life of these handheld PCs, but I still need to plug in after 2 hours on the average game. There were demanding games that killed my Deck in 75 minutes. And then phones have built in cameras so you can live stream on the go. Capturing and sharing pictures and video to social media is a lot easier.

There are a lot of advantages of a phone. So that is the reason many choose it.

I personally don’t use Steam Deck as portable device. Its a couch and bed device. Bringing it outside the home is a hassle. So my sentiment would be if you want to game portably, you probably want to do it on a phone not a Steam Deck or Switch. Those consoles aren’t stationary, but they are also only somewhat portable.

Who even uses something like that. There's a billion handheld devices that can play the library with a better form factor, and there's the Analogue Pocket which plays it as close to flawless as it gets. Might as well just watch a YouTube video of a game or use a browser based emulator if you're emulating on an iPhone lol

Being on the safe side is understandable. But unless it uses Nintendo code very hard to tell how Apple will be towards this like the others were.

Then again will Apple if a Pippin emulator was on iPhone/iPad/Mac OS?

Delta emulator is available in App Store. It’s as good as it gets, from nes up to N64 with handhelds in between.
I wonder if we’ll see emulators for GameCube and beyond, or 3ds. But for now, delta can provide countless good gaming hours.
