The first NES emulator for iPhone and iPad is now available on the App Store, following major changes to Apple's App Review Guidelines.
The first NES emulator for iPhone and iPad is now available on the App Store, following some recent App Review Guideline changes made by Apple. Developed by Tom Salvo, the launch of Bimmy was shared on the MacRumors forum as a 'simple emulator to aid in homebrew game development and testing' as well as to 'play public domain ROMs.
To MacRumors, the company said that 'emulators on the App Store are permitted to load ROMs downloaded from the web, so long as the app is emulating retro console games only.' That said, while I still think Nintendo should be the one releasing game emulator apps for the iPhone, it's interesting to see Apple finally embracing a market that the Google Play store has been part of for more than a decade.
