Thanks to the opening of emulation in the App Store, in recent months we have seen the launch of multiple applications focused on giving us the opportunity to enjoy classic games, especially those related to Nintendo consoles. In this way, it was recently revealed that, although it seemed impossible at the beginning, an emulator 3DS It is now available for iOS devices.
According to Nintendo Wire, it is currently available Folium in the App Store. This is a Nintendo 3DS emulator, which is not free, since it has a price of $4.99 dollars. Fortunately, you only need to pay once to enjoy all the advantages that the application offers us.
Along with this, and as I had already warned, the emulator still has a couple of optimization problems. Some users have pointed out that devices like the iPhone 13 have problems running most 3DS titles, Therefore, a current device is required to enjoy this library.. The poor performance of games is mainly due to Apple not allowing apps in the App Store to use just-in-time (JIT) code compilation, which is often required to relieve the load on a computer’s processor when calculate a code in a type that is easier to read for the user. Since Folium cannot take advantage of JIT compilation on iOS, 3DS games require a lot of processing power when running on iOS.
In addition to 3DS games, Folium is also a Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS emulator. Along with this, the application is compatible with various controls, allowing players to use accessories such as the Backbone and Joy-Con via Bluetooth.
You already know, if you want to enjoy your Nintendo 3DS game library on an iPhone, you need to pay $4.99 to download Folium and have a modern device to avoid serious performance issues. On related topics, the PPSSPP emulator is now available on iOS. Likewise, the PlayStation emulator comes to the iPhone.
Author’s Note:
It seems that until the JIT problem is resolved, it will not be possible to run Nintendo 3DS games effectively on an iPhone, which is unfortunate, since not everyone can afford to buy an iPhone 15 and enjoy this great library of games.
