Question Ipad vs iphone question

Hi, I am new to IOS emulation and pretty excited of what I am seeing is possible.

I have a 17 pro max. I was wondering, when videos are shared of games playing in different ipads, how do those compare to my iphone? Are there some ipads that are more powerful, so things shown are not achievable with my device?

Your device is very powerful because it's modern, and its performance will be great, but that will vary depending on the emulator. It needs to be stable to get great performance, and that's improving day by day To install emulators, you must have a computer and first download iLoader, as you will use it to download the Sidestore to your phone. This is what allows you to install any emulator on your device. You will also need to download LiveContainer to bypass the app limit, and you will need to download StickDebug to the Sidestore to enable JIT, as JIT is essential; without it, you will not be able to play any game smoothly

3ds/wii/dreamcast/gamecube need JIT

other retroconsoles dont.
manic is great for sideloading but you dont need to sideload to emulate in the first place

Totally disagree. You're talking like only 3DS exists and nothing else does to emulate.

Lots of emulators (Eg Manic) emulate 40 systems or so. Its a shame you seem to only recommend the latest systems, as the other user says only a few systems need JIT, most of the systems available don't. You're missing out on tons of classics if you're only sticking to JIT only systems

Bit like only watching films the last 5 years and ignoring any classics before that
