You candownload it for freedirectly through the App Store.
Apple allowed emulators back in the App Store earlier this year.
The very first one was thrown outbecause it was a knockoff.
Delta, the second emulator launched on the platform, also came withApple’s first authorized third-party app store.
To fire off the app, you’ll need to be on iOS, iPadOS or TVOSversion 14.2or higher.
It’s also available on the Apple Vision Pro running VisionOS 1.0 or later.
How to get started
To be precise, RetroArch isn’t technically an emulator.
It’s a front-end where users can download emulators for use through the RetroArch app.
The front-end uses Libretro cores, which is a fancy way of saying emulators.
On first installation, RetroArch won’t be able to play any games right away.
But say you want to play aSuper Nintendogame.
Open RetroArch, download an SNES Libretro core, and then use that core to play your SNES game.
A good example of this is theSony PSP.
you could downloadPPSSPP on the Apple App Storeto play Sony PSP games.
However, the PPSSPP emulator is also available as a Libretro core in RetroArch.
Because of the Libretro core system, the learning curve for RetroArch can be daunting at first.
It supportsBluetooth controllers, a boon for Apple TV owners looking to play old games on their modern TVs.
RetroArch also supports multiplayer play with the use of Netplay.
It emulates having two controllers plugged into the same console but lets you use two different devices to play.
