With the changing rules for emulators on iOS, it’s no surprise that one of the most popular, RetroArch, has proven to be so popular. And with the latest update, emulation fans can take advantage of the many new fixes and covers added to the app, making it even easier to enjoy emulation of their favorite titles from the past.
