As is well known, the application rules have changed slightly in the Apple environment, since they are finally allowed to add retro console emulators, so the developers have not wasted their time and there are already applications available such as Game Boy Advance. But those are not all the consoles that are intended to run on phones, and recently one arrived that will raise the eyebrows of those born in the 80's.
It was recently launched Bimmyan application that can be downloaded for free to run the best classic games NES, which clearly seeks to use public domain ROMS, so users must look for releases to run on it. That means that if someone starts playing the first The Legend of Zelda or Super Mario Bros. 3 It is still illegal, but fortunately the creator of the application clarifies that he is not providing the files and the app does not charge anything.
Of course, there is bad news for those who are reading the article at this moment, because in a matter of a day the developer of the application, Tom Salvo, has removed it from the iOS store, something that worried enthusiastic fans of these technologies. Fortunately there is no problem, it's just that he has withdrawn it for fear of reprisals, since Nintendo takes things very seriously when it comes to suing those who violate its copyright rules.
Here is a more in-depth specification of what an emulator is:
An emulator is a type of software or hardware that allows one computer system (known as the “host system”) to imitate another system (called the “guest system”). The main function of an emulator is to make it possible for applications or programs designed for the guest system to run on the host system. This is achieved by recreating the guest system hardware in a virtual environment within the host system.
Emulators can vary in complexity and accuracy. Some closely emulate the original system hardware, which may require more powerful hardware to function properly. Others, however, may opt for solutions that accelerate performance while sacrificing some precision in the emulation.
This happened in a similar way with an emulator. Game Boy Advance, but this was removed due to possible plagiarism.

Author's note: The only thing that catches my attention in relation to this is how ROMS are obtained if the iPhone cannot store files that are not images, videos or PDFs. Where will these be stored?
