There's a sad bit of irony that the year is 2024 and the game console in your pocket could feasibly run anything you want, but the OEM region-locked it again.

- nfriedly 3y agoI initially thought of my RG35XX+ when I read "the game console in your pocket" and thought "no, it's not region locked". Then I realized this was a discussion about iPhones and yes, they are region locked now. But, FWIW, I've been really happy with acmeplus's beta of Batocera Linux on my RG35XX+. My son and I have been taking turns playing through old gems like Pokemon and Aladdin on it, and I'm hoping to finally beat Final Fantasy VII one of these days.
- kernal 3y agoMost, if not all, emulators ignore / bypass region locking. I've yet to come across any emulator that strictly enforces it
- TheCapeGreek 3y agoEmulators using region-specific BIOS files can still have issues though.
