Retro Game Emulator Hits iOS with Catch - Needs Weekly PC Check-ins
-
An emulator called Delta has been approved on the iOS App Store, allowing iOS users to play retro games.
-
There's a catch - you need to connect to a PC every 7 days to keep the emulator and games working. This is due to Apple's developer program limitations.
-
The 7-day limitation could be extended by paying $100 per year for a full developer account.
-
Some see the emulator as a sign iOS is opening up more to emulators and sideloading apps in general.
-
Others criticize Apple's closed ecosystem, the hassles it causes, and question why people use Apple products.
