Comment on Riley Testut launches Delta game emulator on App Store - shows middle finger to Europe

As an European, I still prefer the freedom to have alternate App stores.
Yet, I still don’t see a reason why they don’t provide the same app to all customers since it’s allowed by Apple, aside from greed or something like that.
Either way, let these developers enjoy their small time of fame, because as soon as RetroArch becames available, a lot of these emulators will be left in the dust ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you have experience with it? Isn’t RetroArch a frontend to another solutions? How does that play in iOS? Does it come with the other code compiled and bundled? How does it get around the fact that in iOS it can’t just launch another executable for xyz?

I only use RetroArch on PC, so I don’t know how it works on iOS, but I will assume will be identical to the console versions, which already have all the cores included on the emulator (on PC there are downloaded individually).
I wouldn’t call it just a front end, it’s much more than that, and it has a great integration. Also the devs seem to focus a lot on the emulation accuracy.

According to this it as it currently stands you’ve to download all the core, compile than and bundle them with the App. This is very likely to pass the App Store checks depending on a few details.
