So what, we're now back to 2018 when emulators were all the hype? Cool. Err, why am I flagged from this thread? - I mean seriously cool. 2018 was the hype when emulators were the thing. It's great to see such.

2018? I missed that wave. I seem to remember they were cool in the late 2000s or so? Perhaps that was just me…

  i remember emulators really getting popular as a means to play the original pokemon games without owning a gameboy back in the late 90s...

  I think it might be around the same time as the RetroPie wave when it got much more publicity than the early days around 2013, probably somewhere between the release of the Pi 3B and Pi 4B (2018-ish?). Around that time it was mostly N64, SNES, GB, GBA etc. Maybe even some PS1, but mostly just titles that were plausibly playable on a smaller screen or with lower resource consumption. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets attention on iOS when there is a larger public mindshare around such a topic.

That's not even that far back either, GBA4iOS has builds going back to 2014. 2018 was the year you could emulate Nintendo games... on the Switch: https://www.libretro.com/index.php/category/switch/ https://www.libretro.com/index.php/category/switch/
