It’s unlikely we’ll see widespread emulation of GameCube or Wii games via emulators on the iPhone App Store, a new report suggests, despite Apple giving the green light to emulation for games from earlier Nintendo consoles.
In a nutshell, GameCube and Wii emulation on PC uses a technology that Apple typically does not allow on iPhones – something called just-in-time (JIT) compilation.
And without JIT, Wii and GameCube emulation is very difficult.
Last week, Nintendo game emulator app Delta was the most downloaded free app on the UK iPhone App Store.
