Since Apple changed its rules and accepted emulators in the App Store (even if it was by obligation), this type of applications has not wasted time and we have already a good catalog of applications that allow us to play almost all retro console games. Here’s everything you need to know about them.
Apple finally allows retro game emulators. What previously required breaking the rules and using Jailbreak or Sideloading is now as easy as downloading it from the App Store or installing an unofficial app store (which is now also allowed). What you also need to know is that the games are separate. These emulators are only the “device” to play, you have to put the ROMs.
Delta
The first to reach our iPhone. Delta has been around for a long time, but before it could not be officially installed. This has now changed, although there are two different ways to download it depending on your location. If you are in Europe, you will need to install your own app store
