Apple will start allowing emulators on the iOS App Store - lemm.ee

Do we know if these emulators will support JIT? JIT has always been prohibited on iOS (which is why there are no browsers other than Safari - Firefox and Chrome on iOS are just a Safari WebView plus a crappy interface on top).

Even when sideloading emulators, you only get JIT by paying for a special developer license or using exploits on very specific iOS versions.

Without JIT, sure, go nuts emulating the NES… But forget about anything more demanding than a GameCube, or using this to run a VM or something.

The GameCube also needs a JIT for decent performance. On a phone, that will especially hurt to emulate the CPU in software.
