Weird I guess. I select the bin file and it loads up the games for me no issues so far other than controller crashing.

Just found where it is in the settings. I'm not really sure what it's needed for, the app just says it could improve game compatibility but I haven't had any issues without it.

iOS app developer here. Just want to point out that this dialog says "Ask App Not to Track" or something to that effect. It's basically a request not to be tracked. Developers can still do whatever they want as a result of that dialog. It's very hard for Apple to enforce honesty that you're not actually tracking users as a result of what you choose, and there's nothing built into the system that prevents tracking based on what you choose.
Damn. This is useful info. I'm all this time I just assumed Apple put a block on any tracking if we selected the option.

Just tested out Vice City Stories. Runs flawlessly at 4K 30fps. I wonder how much it'll drain the battery though?

Messing around with PPSSPP and it works like a dream. Biggest hurdle to anything is touch controls always being a bit of a nightmare, but if there was ever a reason to justify buying a backbone, this is it.

Tested Ridge Racer with 4k rendering and 3x upscaling on my iPad Pro (A12Z processor) and it ran at a solid 60fps! Seems good so far!

I'll take credit for this, since these emulator releases are obviously intended to coincide with the delivery of my 15 Pro Max this evening.

Is this an official release of Retroarch? It defaults to Catalan when I boot it up and the UI keeps swapping fonts on me.

Running GBA games on my iPad Pro, it runs at double speed since the screen is 120Hz. I got the language changed, but all sub-menus are still in Catalan. Not sure this is a fully baked release yet, will have to check in on it after some updates.

Haven't tried any games on either of these new emulators, but it's good to see that they're both native apps on iPad.

Let's fucking go

Edit: Seems like you have to enable the Gsync/Freesync option in order for things to not be sped up.

Maybe seems redundant with RetroArch now but PPSSPP is there too:
