      I couldn’t find the retro arch link to the App Store. Have you actually downloaded it? Or are you referring to the downloadable ipa files?

    I had been thinking about getting one of those dedicated Android emulation handhelds have been popular lately, but with the floodgates having for emulators been opened on iOS maybe a Backbone or similar is the better play! Any recent iPhone should have a substantial performance advantage over even the higher end emulator handhelds.
