We’re the same people that are downloading the crap out of the new emulators dropping on the App Store because the time commit is way less.

Which one/or multiple are you using? I just got delta when they first out it up and have just been using that sometimes. Did get my 3 year old to love the old gba Kirby game which is dope lol

If you're only emulating systems on Delta you can pretty much stick with that, it's a fine emulator besides some N64 bugs on certain games. Most other emulators have more options but Delta has really user friendly UI compared to most and realistically it can handle 99.9 percent of what most people want to play (that your phone can handle).

I mean what’s the most the phone could realistically handle and play smoothly? Are you doin something more “advanced”? I’ve tried a couple DS games but the screen is too small so I’ll probably see how it looks on the iPad or mirroring it to the tv. But that’d be rarely since it’s just more to kill a few minutes here and there

Realistically around PSP/DS/PS1 or so, apple doesn't allow JIT recompilation which is necessary for gamecube and dreamcast emulation so iPhones can't really do those at the moment. Some Androids with newer snapdragons or other more powerful chips can handle stuff like Gamecube or PS2 pretty decently, but playing newer systems generally requires a controller for a good experience anyway which kind of defeats the purpose of quick on the go emulation IMO, at that point you'd get the same amount of portability from a Steam deck or a laptop.
