With Apple’s decision to allow game emulators on the App Store, several popular emulators like Delta were released for iPhone and iPad. RetroArch is the latest emulator to hit the App Store, allowing gamers to play games on a wide range of systems.
RetroArch supports multiple versions of the Atari and Commodore systems, as well as the Nintendo DS, Game Boy, NES, SNES, and Virtual Boy. Several Sega and Sony systems are also included, as are NEC PC Engine and Neo Geo Pocket.
RetroArch is free to download, ad-free and open source. It supports save states, hints, custom overlays, fast forward and rewind, AI translations and RetroAchievements. RetroAchievements adds trophies to all kinds of classic games, providing incentives for unlocking new content and top rankings.
RetroArch is quite well known because it was previously available on PC and Mac, but it just couldn’t be released on iOS devices until Apple’s rule change. RetroArch is also the first console emulator to run on Apple TV, allowing games to be played with an MFi controller on a larger screen.
RetroArch can be downloaded for free from the App Store. (Direct link)
