ArcadeMania is a port of MAME for iOS, emulates over 5000 arcade machines, but also much more, from video game consoles to computer systems to Game & Watches. As anyone familiar with MAME knows, It's a community driven effort over the past few decades with many contributors and is available for free on the App Store:

‎ArcadeMania

It supports MAME 0.276 (the current latest) and will continue to be updated to keep up with the MAME releases.

Some interesting tidbits about getting this into the App Store:

        The app was constantly rejected for over a span of about a year.
    The app was rejected as "spam" for much of that year, and was overturned after 2 appeals to App Store Review. They called me on the phone out of the blue to say they considered the appeal and deemed it as "not spam".
    The app was then in a "we need more time to review" s
  

Discovery was done via PS1 emulation, so this is tangentially related. Not much else to post right now.

"Here's the kind of fool I am: with a pretty commitment-free, relaxing-at-home weekend last Saturday and Sunday, I tucked in for hours of uninterrupted gaming by playing... Assassin's Creed Shadows. Not emulating some incredible classic game, or starting Blue Prince, or anything else I could've been playing. I just keep waiting for Shadows to get good, but honestly I'm pretty sure I'm mostly playing it because I bought a new graphics card a month or so ago and it looks really pretty. The world is stunning! And also kind of stunningly empty, full of people to kill but barely any story attached to the killing. Ubisoft should've made this world a quarter the size and four times denser in actual meaningful questing."

It's been a slow news week for emulation, so I'll post some older educational stuff for newbies.

"We interrupt your regularly scheduled emulation news to bring you this important announcement: GQUUUUUUX IS HERE."

Another day, another Nintendo emulator fork drama.

Basically, compatibility layer for modern OS.

"Smartphones are a common topic here on Edge of Emulation. In many ways, older portable gaming consoles like the Game Boy Advance provided the kind of functionality we expect from our modern devices. For example, there were several options for viewing multimedia content on the GBA. From albums full of MP3s to feature-length films, Nintendo's handheld seemed capable of doing anything, with the right peripheral of course. Despite most people mainly using phones as web browsers these days, their original purpose was to talk to other people by calling their number. Believe it or not, the GBA had this covered as well.

In July of 2004, a Japanese company called Digital Act released a specialized cartridge called the Campho Advance. The hardware inside provided the system with a miniature camera along with a telephone modem. It enabled the GBA to make and receive video phone calls via landline connections (POTS), in Japan at least. By connecting to the telephone system, it could dial others

"Flashpoint Archive is a community effort to preserve games and animations from the web.

Internet history and culture is important, and the web is evolving at such a rapid pace that what might be commonplace today could be obsolete tomorrow. This project is dedicated to preserving as many experiences from these platforms as possible, so that they aren't lost to time. Since December 2017, over 200,000 games and animations have been preserved across more than a hundred browser plugins and web technologies.

In addition to our preservation efforts, we also provide a highly flexible software package for reliable navigation and playback of preserved content. Among the software that powers Flashpoint is a fully-featured launcher that acts as a frontend for the collection, a proxy that tricks games into thinking they're running on the live web, and a sandbox that allows for secure playback of plugin-enabled content - all of which are open-source software.

The project was originally started
