My fingers are crossed.

And Nintendo's fingers are on the trigger. better be fast

 

[StereoVsn]

Oh, that would be awesome. Despite my misgivings about Retroarch custodians and their past shenanigans, emulation capability there is top notch.

Edit: Really hope they will have iPad mode as well.

Delta has been up and running on Appstore for over a month now.

 

[Red5]

Would be sweet, I keep forgetting to refresh my altstore when sideloading Retroarch.

Would love to try CRT Royale on a M1 Ipad, tried it on my Air 4 and ran like molasses.

Yeah, I think as long as there is no piracy talk it should be alright. And Nintendo is probably mainly worrying about the Switch vs older platforms.

Yep, new M2 Airs or Used/On Sale M2 Pro should do very well.

Edit: Damn, I now want M2 (or equivalent) Apple TV for emulation gaming!

Hopefully it doesn't take long!

Sick! The only thing I'd need after this is Dolphin, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen either ever, or for a very long time. (Since Apple won't let them use JIT.)

What Year Is It?

 

[RaduN]

Retroarch is GOAT.

I mean, the FBNeo core alone is worth it (all great arcades from the 90s - 2000s including all Cave shmups ever released), not to mention Flycast (best DC emulator), Duckstation (psx emulator with geometry correction), and all 8 and 16 bits emulators you can dream of.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I use OpenEMU on mac but they need to add atari jaguar and 3DO emulation

for isheeps, ~2008?

Gonna need a bigger phone. PS2 library is about 8 TB by itself

How do I get games on my iPhone for this?

What is JIT and what does it mean for RetroArch, if anything?

just a joke lol. I know Nintendo isn't gonna do shit seeing their (nonexistent) reaction to Delta.

 

[Dacvak]

What is JIT and what does it mean for RetroArch, if anything?

JIT compilation (or "Just-In-Time") is a method where code is compiled into machine language right before it's executed, rather than ahead of time.

It's not needed for most RetroArch cores as far as I know, but for Dolphin, it's crucial because it significantly improves performance. Most games are essentially unplayable on iOS without it.

Apple doesn't allow for JIT for most (all?) apps on the App Store due to security issues. That's basically all I know about it, though. But the Dolphin team says it's unlikely they'll ever put Dolphin on the App Store because of that.

Maybe someday they will, once the iPhone processors are fast enough to handle the alternative methods of interpretation are fast enough, but it seems unlikely.

 

[THE DUCK]

Any for apple tv 4k approved yet?

 

[Katatonic]

Man, Retroarch on the new iPad Pro with the HDR JVC Professional shader would be heaven.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I dont get it, Retroarch runs on mac perfectly. So what is this news about exactly?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Holy shit, it's approved and available!

My AppleTV just became a retro box. Could be fun for my daughters to try out the older games

Am downloading to my iPad as I type this. It's pretty late here so will have a play tomorrow. I hope it supports shaders.

[danklord]

It'll be interesting to see how hard the Apple TV can be pushed. I just tried it out, Mario 64 runs perfectly, as expected, but it crashes immediately for GTA: Vice City Stories.

 

[StereoVsn]

That's awesome. Going to try it in a while, but great news.

A guide to CRT shaders

CRT Shader Showcase for RetroArch

In the early days of Emulation, simulating CRT characteristics was achieved by filters that manipulated the produced game image before showing on the screen. However, the result was not very accura…

[Red5]

Hmm downloaded it but it's not working, crashes everytime I load up a ROM. Do I need to add BIOS for each core? The Retroarch version I sideload works fine tho.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Wow my Apple TV 4k may finally become somewhat of a 'gaming device' like apple and their fans insisted it is lmao.

How is performance on it with shaders?

 

[RagnarokIV]

Also, I wonder if I'll be able to sync this with my iCloud storage to have some of my go-to games on there.

Can't wait to try this alter.

Glad Apple users can experience what Android users have had for the last decade and a half

I'm amazed that Apple have allowed it.

 

[SportsFan581]

Cool. This will allow a younger generation to discover the classic greats. Being available directly in the primary store will be a huge boon for the software.

 

[Red5]

Got it working with NTSC s-video shaders and Blargg's RF filter and HDR turned on, looks awesome on my iPad.

 

[RaduN]

Wonder how performance is on the heavy stuff.

Do devs get acces to jit on ios?

 

[StereoVsn]

FYI, PPSSPP is in the App Store now as well.

Allow??? What forbid them before?

Laziness, lack of gumption to push past even the most basic of barriers.

Having the base package installed with a click on a device they already have will hopefully ignite some interest.

There's been an update to RetroArch on the store.
