For more information, check out our detailed guide about installing emulators on your iPhone.Īfter you install a video game emulator on your iPhone, you still need to get some ROMs to use with it. This is free and reliable, it just takes a more time to set up. The very best method to install emulators on your iPhone is using the AltStore. Otherwise, you may need to compile the apps on your iPhone using a computer. But you can get better reliability if you pay for a BuildStore subscription. Most of the emulators in this list are available to download for free from websites like iEmulators or the AppMarket. That does mean the emulators are sometimes a little bit unstable, but that's a small price to pay for access to the best classic video games on your iPhone. Apple doesn't allow video game emulators on the App Store, but it's still possible to install them on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch without jailbreaking your device.
