"Apple's App Store Embraces Retro Game Emulators Worldwide"

Apple has updated its App Store restrictions to allow retro game console emulator apps, with app designers being responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws. This change is seen as a response to pressure from users and legislators, particularly in Europe, where emulator enthusiasts previously had limited access on iPhones. The move could also be a strategy to prevent users from defecting to App Store competitors following the recent ruling that Apple must permit third-party app stores in the EU. Apple, along with Google and Facebook, is under investigation by the EU under the Digital Market Act to ensure fair competition.

Robin Lavallée, CEO of Implicit Conversions, is leading the development of the SYRUP Engine, an emulation software that enables old classic games to run smoothly on modern consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Implicit Conversions has worked on titles like Jet Moto, Grandia, and Star Wars games, and is currently collaborating with Sony to bring PlayStation 1 titles to PS5.

Apple's new Game Porting Toolkit allows for Windows game emulation on M1/M2 systems, enabling popular games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Diablo 4 to run on Apple hardware. The toolkit uses a fast translation layer for popular graphics APIs for macOS systems, but performance may vary and some games may require bug fixes or optimizations. CodeWeavers' CrossOver source code was used for the emulation software, and the company is eager to work with game developers who want to port games to macOS using their tool.
