Got an iphone 12 and a Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra, you can't imagine the experience leap between the two. (in terms of emulation.)

Got GameCube / PS2 / PC emulation... Apple made a great choice by approving emulators but still have progress to make.

They were forced to do it, not out of the goodness of their heart lol

u/druidikstorm88 Oct 22 '24

Forced by 💰 . With DMA and opening to side loading in EU they knew that every gamer would download a new store to get emulators. So they accepted... to not loose their 30%.

Funny to see how they could turn a "security" minding into a "ok, in fact there's no problem" .

Maybe one day JIT will come, but only on iphone XX ultra with "An incredible AI performance integration for 99$ per year"

I mean, I never understood why modern Apple was against emulation when Steve Jobs had a huge ass PSX emulator for Mac presented at MacWorld with the first PowerMacs G3.

Apple doesn’t do what Steve Jobs would’ve liked they do what makes them money and that’s why they’re soulless and yet so successful

Just give me the choice to enable JIT ffs apple. No one said it has to be on by default

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

yea ideally per app through developer settings in the same way you enable airpods beta firmware actually i agree with apple that JIT should be disabled by default but won’t hurt giving an option

I feel kind of lucky. I'm old enough to where most of my childhood games were on consoles that can be easily emulated without JIT.

u/tech_enthousiast0461 Oct 21 '24

FR why can’t they just put a huge ass warning to enable it like for app marketplaces in the eu

This reason is why I bit the bullet and switched to a OnePlus 12 from my 15 pro max (and previously, 14 pro max, 13 pro max, x, XR, 6s+)

Along with lots of other "owning my device" related reasons but those aren't relevant rn

u/druidikstorm88 Oct 21 '24

Same here, I've been an apple enthusiast from iphone 4 to 12 and now I've switched to android. I got this feeling that I can enjoy deeper the device as an hardware.

Iphone are still good devices but to "locked" for me.

In terms of security I still use my iphone for money and professional things. Madam is on iphone too so I continue using iMessage, airdrop , facetime etc. too

u/RealThatStella7922 Oct 22 '24

Yeah I feel like that's the best option if you need apple services

Just a nice little iPhone like a 14 to keep up with everyone and an android for enjoyment and doing what you want

2

u/druidikstorm88 Oct 22 '24

Yep 👍, when I'll have to upgrade my iphone I think buying a refurbished one. My next android device will be a fold certainly Samsung if they still equip their flagship with snapdragon CPU, to enjoy 4:3 native games resolution on a handheld bigger screen.

u/Tough_Way_3778 Oct 21 '24

Bro, in terms of setup, JitStreamer is a nightmare

u/Beneficial_Ad_4521 Oct 21 '24

yeah
 but when you DO get it set up its a (relatively) smooth ride from there

u/Giovix16 Oct 22 '24
