Universal RetroArch and PPSSPP emulators, NOW in the App Store (including the European one)

[Populus]

Hello.

I just wanted to inform that RetroArch and PSP emulator PPSSPP, are now available on the Apple App Store. And that includes the European one.

I wish Delta emulator would have been present on the European App Store as well, but they decided to go with their third party App Store, and those of us who aren’t interested in installing such stores, are missing the opportunity to enjoy them.

I’m gonna attach the direct links to them, because apparently Apple doesn’t list them and you won’t find them by just searching in the App Store.

However, install them at your own risk, as I don’t know if they are from the original developer or not. Anyways, if Apple approved them, it’s because they’re safe, right?

@arn mentioning you in case you want to bring this to the front page.

Nice!
Now please tell me, retroarch supports the magic keyboard for ipad? If yes, how can I set it up? 😅

Those should hopefully be safe. Neither app says it collects any data, which is a plus at least.

PPSSPP is linked from the project's official home page, so should be legit.

At first the PPSSPP folder didn't appear on my end at 'on my iPhone'. I installed one of the homebrew games via the app. Then next day it did show folder and moved my unpacked games to a new sub-folder PPSSPP > 'Games'. I've first tried iZip but was messy and hated the ads. I decided to support an indie developer and buy Keka to unpack the 7z files.

Has anyone played with Cloud Sync in RetroArch?

PSA: You can use Shortcuts to add 'open file' icons to your homescreen for individual games. Get the right icon images and they look great.

It appeared that you didn't need software to unpack 7z file simply rename .zip and Apple's build in software can unpack the file.

I tried this and only ever got errors. It would be nice if Apple updated Files across all iDevices to support more file extensions and compression types.
