Apple's iPhones and iPads are incredible devices to play and in the App Store we have many incredible options, especially after the arrival of the Apple Arcade that has raised the level of games for mobile devices and that brings us news every week. However, there is something that Apple has never allowed in its store: emulators.
Apple is characterized by having great control over its app store and the emulators of other gaming platforms , such as Game Boy or other popular consoles, are not allowed. This is quite logical, since it is not something that pleases the companies that own these platforms and games. Therefore, since it is something that neither Apple nor Nintendo or Sony likes, it seems logical that Apple does not allow them in its App Store.
However, this does not mean that iOS users do not have the possibility to install this type of emulators on their iPhone or iPad, and now a well-known YouTube has been able to try a version of the Dolphin emulator which allows you to play amazing games like Game Cube's Super Mario Sunshine.
They say 2AM is a terrible time to release a new video… I say this:

Emulators are a risky possibility
In this new video that has been uploaded by the Snazzy Labs channel, you can see that this emulator works perfectly on the iPad Pro and that it turns it into a real portable console . Also if we add to this the native compatibility of the PS4 and Xbox One controllers of iOS and iPadOS 13, makes playing an amazing experience. However, not everything is good.

The first reason why it is not recommended to install this type of emulators is that you cannot know exactly who is behind it or their intentions. These types of apps use certificates to be used and it is possible that our information is in danger when installing them . Also, Apple can cancel these certificates or update iOS and make these apps stop working overnight.
On the other hand there is the more moral issue, in order to play these emulators you will need images of the games, which you can probably only download illegally , since they are from games with a few years. For this reason, large video game companies are against this type of emulator.
Without a doubt what this shows, beyond the nostalgia of bringing old games to our devices, is the incredible power of current mobile devices that they are capable of emulating consoles without disheveled. I wish companies like Nintendo knew how to see this potential and launched their own app from which to play their classic games from our iPhone or iPad. Hopefully it's something that will come in time.
