Perfect solution for retro enthusiasts: Emulator app lets you play popular games from various old consoles on your iPhone - for free. Here's how to install it.

Exciting news for retro gamers: As part of policy changes aimed at avoiding penalties and stricter regulation, Apple opens the door to emulator distribution in the official app store. This previously prohibited step allows playing classic Nintendo games directly on the iPhone through the popular Delta emulator app - for free. Among the supported systems, Delta includes NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and DS, meaning hours of nostalgia at your fingertips.

True gaming enthusiasts will be delighted to discover that you can even stream the game directly from the iPhone to the TV using AirPlay, turning it into a real retro console. Additionally, the app features on-screen buttons that adapt according to the console you're playing on.

You can download the app from the App Store or from the following link. As for the games themselves, you'll need to download them separately from various websites, like EmulatorGames.net. After installing the app, click on the plus icon in the main menu, add the file you saved on your device, and within seconds, you can simply start playing.
