As is well known, the rules of applications in the Apple environment have changed a bit, since they finally got permission to add retro console emulators, so the developers did not waste their time and there are already available applications such as Game Boy Advance. But not all consoles are meant to be played on phones, and recently one has arrived that will raise the eyebrows of those born in the 80s.
It was launched recently BeamAn application that can be downloaded for free to play the best classic games NES, which explicitly wants to use public domain ROMS, so users must look for releases to run on it. That means if someone starts the game first The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. 3 It’s still illegal, but luckily the app’s creator has clarified that he’s not providing the files and the app doesn’t charge anything.
Of course, there is bad news for those who are reading the article right now, because within a day the developer of the application, Tom Salvo, has removed it from the iOS Store, which has worried die-hard fans of the technology. Fortunately there is no problem, except that he withdraws it for fear of reprisals, since Nintendo It takes matters very seriously in prosecuting 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 (called the “host system”) to emulate another system (called the “guest system”). The main function of an emulator is to make it possible to run applications or programs designed for the guest system 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 choose solutions that speed up performance while sacrificing some accuracy in simulation.
It happened the same way with an emulator. game boy advance, But it was removed due to possible theft.

Author’s Note: The only thing that catches my attention about this is how to get ROMS if the iPhone can’t store files that aren’t pictures, videos or PDFs. Where will they be stored?
