  1. How soon can we get some emulators through the App Store? Can’t wait to play some games.

    > Additionally, retro game console emulator apps can offer to download games.

    > You are responsible for all such software offered in your app, including ensuring that such software complies with these Guidelines and all applicable laws.

    > 4.7.4 You must provide an index of software and metadata available in your app. It must include universal links that lead to all of the software offered in your app.

    I think this refers to authorised/official emulator apps (e.g. stuff like *Capcom Arcade Stadium*), rather than general purpose community-made emulators

    All of this sounds good in the article, but the pessimism is telling me that there is an ulterior reason for this. I’m for pro-emulation, there’s probably something else going on here.

    Apple right on the bleeding edge again. I’m calling it now. 2024:The year of iNesticle.

    Watch Nintendo threaten to pull it’s affiliated apps. I’m calling it now. Nintendo sent lawyers to Valve over Dolphin coming to steam, I can see Nintendo sending lawyers to Apple over this.
