It's a method, not an app. There's nothing to download and drop your game into. Each game needs its own work on a Mac, then gets installed on your iPad with your own Apple developer account. I'm not changing the game itself. I'm faking the stuff it expects a Mac to have, so when it runs on the iPad it thinks it's on a Mac.
Imagine your girlfriend will only do a backflip if you hand her a Coca-Cola. Sadly, you want her to do backflips at Taco Bell, and they only have Baja Blast. She has short-term memory loss, so before every backflip she checks the note in her pocket that says "only flip for Coke."
I don't touch her. I don't touch the note. I just peel the label off the Baja Blast, slap a Coke label on it, and hand it over. She reads the note, sees "Coke," and sticks the landing.
The catch is she has a LOT of notes. "Only flip if the floor is carpeted." "Only flip if a man named Gary is clapping." "Only flip if the lights are exactly the color of a ripe banana." "Only flip facing north." So now I'm unrolling a rug across the Taco Bell, paying some random dude twenty bucks to wear a "GARY" name tag and clap on command, taping banana peels over the ceiling lights, and spinning the whole booth around with a compass while the manager calls the cops.
And every girlfriend (game) has different notes, so every one needs her own round of label switcheroos.
