Apple's New Rules Mean There's A Game Emulator On The App Store Now
Earlier this month, Apple relaxed its famously strict App Store guidelines to comply with the EU's new Digital Markets Act. In one major change, game emulators will now be allowed on the App Store, and one developer has immediately taken advantage of the change to publish Delta--a self-described "all-in-one Nintendo emulator."

The emulator's description also promises emulation support for more consoles will be on the way.
