With apple recently adding developer mode, they've got iOS/iPadOS almost ready sideloading. They're definitely doing this because of the EU adopting the Digital Markets Act. Gonna be interested to see if apple tries to limit sideloading to only be in EU or just does it everywhere.
now we just need the open web advocacy to allow 3rd party browsers. The amount of old iPhones/iPads that will be saved from landfills for basic web browsing would be insane. Which could also help PWA/SPA become more viable in further breaking down Android/iOS Appstore duopolies.
Yeah cause a old iPhone actually is very useless once apps no longer work on it android always has a way especially with custom Roms to always work even if it wasn’t supported with apps which that takes way longer to happen on a old android compared to a old iPhone
Does developer mode improve emulation preformance? Because games that run at a flawless 60fps on my android phone at 2x resolution choke up on minimum resolution on the M2 chip
I wouldn’t say iPads are overpriced when they perform just as well as MacBook Airs. A tablet that can compete with a PC is very impressive. Especially when it’s cheaper and has a better display, not to mention a touch screen. If they brought an optional MacOS to iPads, it would essentially become a more budget friendly MacBook Air with a touchscreen. And that’s great.
they aren't overpriced at the moment, however 10 years down the road, even with mint condition 10 year old iDevice that still outperforms any android device in 2031, apple could make your device stop working.

@@nullsurfer Wait when m3 ipad pro with oled screen coming out, so everyone will switch just for this screen, so will be good sales of that. But a gtx 1650 laptop are more worth honestly.
They are absolutely still overpriced, and the biggest issue is storage. It isn't that a M1/M2 iPad is that overpriced, it's that getting one with decent storage is. I actually just bought a second handed 1TB M1 12.9 with pen and magic keyboard, now this cost me 990 euro. Now if I get that model refurbished with both, that costs me 2267 euro. You could argue I don't need either of those additions, but the tablet itself is still 1689 (which is btw 640 euro more than the 128GB) Compare the full package with say a Windows gaming laptop, and you are getting pretty much top end specs for a laptop. You could also get a M1 Air here for about a 1000 or a Pro 13 inch with the M2 for under 1600. Now obviously they will have low storage as well, because storage is absurdly expensive. But you need that storage, you don't want to constantly hook up an external drive, and this ain't 2010. Games, apps, videofiles etc all get super big. A bunch of games are now 10GB+. Video editing etc can be great on iPads, but how great is video editing with 128GB's of storage? So the minimum price is acceptable, because these chips are amazing and it's what made me buy my first Apple device ever. However, getting extra storage will break the bank. So until they change their insane storage prices (1TB SSD costs about 50 euros), their devices won't be used for it's full potential, unless the buyer has a ton of money and won't mind spending 3k+ for a brand new iPad Pro with pencil, keyboard and 1TB+ of storage. And I want to be really clear how absurd this is, 8GB of memory and 2TB of storage, which would costs like 150 if you buy it in a PC, and which will be 100 tops for Apple to put in, makes the price go from 1469 to 2849. Almost double. It is unacceptable.

I really really don't understand why they are iffy about emulation. For a ton of people if they had the same freedom with IOs they'd switch over to Apples Products.

You should do an update since they now allow it, while everyone is looking at the m4 some wanna see the m2 or a comparison to see if we should save the money
Welp it seems switch emulation is now here on ios. We will see how it holds up on my M1 iPad Pro and A17 Pro iPhone 15 Pro. Probably not great but people are making progress. Gotta say the iPad really has the perfect aspect ratio for old emulation. Everything was 4:3 back in the day.
I would love to buy this iPad for emulation, unfortunately Apple's motto seems to be, "Don't be so comfortable with what works today, because we can literally change that in our next update if we feel like doing so." So, I'll stick to Android for mobile emulation for now, because Google seems 'much less' likely to disrupt things in the way that Apple does. (Of course, nothing beats a nice PC rig for full emulation control, but obviously it's a lot less flexible in its mobility.)
Mobility is just a current issue, but with ARM support expanding it should be too bad in the future. Hopefully with the steam deck’s success we’ll start seeing more a lot support in the Linux world.
What you should really review is the Surface Pro 9 with the SQ3 arm processor, it scores 5700 on Geekbench which is way faster than the garbage 8 Gen 1 which gets beaten by phones or the steam deck that cost only $399, and it actually runs desktop programs and android apps, the iPad is extremely powerful but limited side loading, while the Tab S8 have good side loading but terrible performance that gets beaten by android phones, the Surface Pro 9 have both decent performance, and the ability to run basically any desktop program plus android apps, and it still has the efficiency of ARM chip to give it great battery life that sometimes even beats the M2 MacBook Air. Very interested to see emulation on that thing.

Thank you for testing , I tried DolphinIOS on 4th Gen iPadpro and it was choppy , good to know the M2 ipad is a beast , so that may be my next purchase
It's sad that ipad pro m2 has that much power but is stuck due to the software :/ I feel like it can run switch games , no problem at all.. Fun fact apple is the one who started the emulation business with ps1 emulator on MacBook :D
A 11.5 in. OnePlus Pad is about to launch in April with a 7:5 aspect ratio. I feel like it is the perfect middle ground for productivity and size between the common 11 and 12.9 in., neither too unwieldy nor too narrow.
It's definitely interesting that one can run emulated games in 4k, but does one really notice any quality gains at 4k vs. 1440p on an 11 inch screen with games that were never intended to be run at super high resolutions?
Yes, because the resolution of the screen is higher than 1440p. LCD Displays are fixed displays so lower rendering resolution than the screen will always look off
@@martinantelo7086 Not so much if one can't resolve the pixels at native resolution nor if the original graphics have low rez sprites / textures meant for much lower resolutions.
No. In fact higher than 1440p will actually look worse than resolutions closer to the resolution of the display. Especially if you're running at much higher resolutions like >5K. At that point you need a higher resolution display for it to not be meaningless.
ipad pro m2 has a powerfull power chip ever in portable.. but the problem is, i dont know what im gonna to do with that M2 power. if the M2 can run windows as like the PC/Laptop. i would be buying it without any concern
Might want to add in that you have to use JIT and be on the same WiFi as your AltServer. Also Flycast is available but only works when local. Only being able to run PPSSPP and RetroArch while on the go made me have to leave it alone
I was wondering how he got dolphin OS to work. Didn't mention the set up to have Jit running. Jit streamer seems like such a hassle. Would be great to be able to run the app without a streamer program.
@@matthewbitter532 “more powerful than you’ll ever need it to be” … I keep hearing that line about every CPU generation for decades - yet devs keep pushing the limits of software and gaming to a cpu’s breaking point, finding new ways to take advantage of the current cutting edge.

Not for everyone but I like tabs because of low power requirements. I can power them with my 20 volt 5 ah harbor freight tool battery with 5 volt power USB adapter in my car.

Thankfully, the EU finally bullied Apple into allowing emulators which don't explicitly breach intellectual property law to finally be listed officially. So it'll be a "bring your own BIOS" situation.
11:05 The same law the EU passed (digital markets act) recently that forces apple to switch to USB-C on iphones is suppose to force apple to enable side loading too!
I'm waiting patiently this year for the EU sideloading without all the work around. I tried it on my ipad it's just a pain to have all that hassle to setup. Jailbreak is the way to go, but very sad to need to do that for something so simple as 3rd parties apps.
Hi, I am a long time iPad user, currently using the 2018 iPad Pro. It can just about run Wind Waker in Dolphin with occasional hiccups. I am on the fence, between upgrading my iPad to the M2 or rather buying the Steam Deck for emulation. Any thoughts?
I'd love to see how Cave SV1000 games run in Retroarch (new FBN core), and I'm also curious if we have the resources to enable run-ahead in Retroarch. Also: emulator devs would flock to iOS if Apple allowed emulators on the store. They don't need to take down the walls of the garden, they only need to let emulators in (as Android always has). Also: Tatsunoko vs Capcom aint running right at 4K. Fighting games rely on locked framerates.
I’ve seen video of ps1 beetle core accurate emulation on iPhone 13. That’s super demanding most androids can’t handle that. So imagine what you can do on this iPad for example.
I agree about apple and I think many people want that and even android people would appreciate it cause then they would like iOS a lot more. Hopefully iOS 17 allows sideloading everywhere.
They have the full, high end desktop computer grade Apple M2 processor inside,the same used in Macbook Pro and Mac desktop computers,it’s expensive but not overpriced when you consider the best competing Android tablet just uses a cell phone grade processor and is 3 times slower and weaker than the iPad yet costs the same/more than the iPad Pro.
iPad Pro with M2 chip and iPadOS - That reminds of me of the Surface running Windows RT - Amazing hardware with a mobile phone OS - This product is so crippled by its software - just buy a M2 Macbook air and do your emulation on MacOS
I'll never get that tablet no matter how great it is because the many steps sideloading emulator apps. Better off getting a Steam Deck. I just play retro games on a Flip 3 in Flex mode.
wtf so the M1 i got last year is so slow that it only outputs 1440p and this years’ does 4K? That’s insane. Paid over 2k for last year’s iPad Pro. Never would’ve thought that there’d be such a performance jump within one year. Jesus..
This is the one reason I would have a hard time going back to Android from iPhone is because for the past 6 generations, Apple Silicon has been beating Snapdragon in raw power. Just look at something like Genshin Impact on both new Androids with the latest snapdragon 8 gen 1 chips and then look at even the iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max. Don’t even need to go to iPhone 14 pro.
it is sad how people get ipads to replace their laptop. get an m1 or m2 macbook air if you have the money. macbooks don’t limit the boot of other os, access to the cmd, has a keyboard, not ipados (ios) and you don’t have to break countless tos to install apps via a jailbreak.
What s the lagging like with the Bluetooth controller ? I tried years ago an android device with retro games and to me the experience wasn’t really enjoyable
An Emudeck style emulator experience on an iPad would be phenomenal and completely change the landscape
Clue is in the name....
I'd know the answer but the old noggin is missing the last card in the deck. So much so that it's making me steam.

Is there a way to get altstore on my iPad without having to jailbreak my device or use a computer?
Hi, I am a long time iPad user, currently using the 2018 iPad Pro. It can just about run Wind Waker in Dolphin with occasional hiccups. I am on the fence, between upgrading my iPad to the M2 or rather buying the Steam Deck for emulation. Any thoughts?
If the iPad you have is working now I would personally pick up the Deck.
Steam deck is WAY better
I just saw pokemon colosseum, I knew it was gonna be a good video
I'd love to see how Cave SV1000 games run in Retroarch (new FBN core), and I'm also curious if we have the resources to enable run-ahead in Retroarch. Also: emulator devs would flock to iOS if Apple allowed emulators on the store. They don't need to take down the walls of the garden, they only need to let emulators in (as Android always has). Also: Tatsunoko vs Capcom aint running right at 4K. Fighting games rely on locked framerates.
I’ve seen video of ps1 beetle core accurate emulation on iPhone 13. That’s super demanding most androids can’t handle that. So imagine what you can do on this iPad for example.
I agree about apple and I think many people want that and even android people would appreciate it cause then they would like iOS a lot more. Hopefully iOS 17 allows sideloading everywhere.
Amazing device. Video title says it all.
I like your wallpaper! Can you send links where to download?
Great performances and even worst prices. They are nuts
I have the one before this. Still a beast
which would be the best cores with retroarch for each system which is worthy? which ones do work great? snes, n64, saturn, wii, gamecube, ps portable?
Those M1 and M2 chips are ridiculously powerful
Great review as always. Could you try Wii U Xenoblade Chronicles?
Not possible.
Very cool
These are the only performance tests I wait for
You have some audio issues at 2:00 mark where you have two different audio speaking tracks overlapping at the same time.
9:40 Gameube?, why didnt you try GameCube emulator xD
Tutorial for emulation on apple devices especially the ipad m2. So is there only 3 free apps and 2 will be used by dolphin ios and alt store?
Id love to see you run NFS most wanted for dolphin!!!!!
They have the full, high end desktop computer grade Apple M2 processor inside,the same used in Macbook Pro and Mac desktop computers,it’s expensive but not overpriced when you consider the best competing Android tablet just uses a cell phone grade processor and is 3 times slower and weaker than the iPad yet costs the same/more than the iPad Pro.
iPad Pro with M2 chip and iPadOS - That reminds of me of the Surface running Windows RT - Amazing hardware with a mobile phone OS - This product is so crippled by its software - just buy a M2 Macbook air and do your emulation on MacOS
I'll never get that tablet no matter how great it is because the many steps sideloading emulator apps. Better off getting a Steam Deck. I just play retro games on a Flip 3 in Flex mode.
wtf so the M1 i got last year is so slow that it only outputs 1440p and this years’ does 4K?
That’s insane. Paid over 2k for last year’s iPad Pro. Never would’ve thought that there’d be such a performance jump within one year.
Jesus..
Try Nintendo switch emulator for iOS
This is the one reason I would have a hard time going back to Android from iPhone is because for the past 6 generations, Apple Silicon has been beating Snapdragon in raw power. Just look at something like Genshin Impact on both new Androids with the latest snapdragon 8 gen 1 chips and then look at even the iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max. Don’t even need to go to iPhone 14 pro.
10:00 - you mistype here, it's not Gameube, it's GameCube)
i just copped an m2 pro 11 inch, learned how to side load... but the device screen is a bit big for me, might downsize to the mini 6
Hi Eta, does your iPad need to be jailbroken?
I CAN'T wait for playing Ps3 and Switch emulation on M2 ipad which is the only way to spend the over spec chipset running.
Cool vid 😎
iPads would be so much more valuable if side loading was allowed.
how did you sideload RetroArch? I only have the option for Provenance in the AltStore.
Whats ur thought on egg nes emulator btw love ur videos.😄
Where did you get the wallpaper?
What about Dreamcast, Switch, and Xbox OG. I'm guessing those are not available yet?
I emulate PS4 and 3 on my iPhone 15 Pro MAX 😊
Killzone liberation and MotorStorm: Arctic Edge for PSP are much harder to emulate than God of war or midnight club 😊
Going to try cemu porting it to android then iOS. Just waiting for code to move to llvm
I’m still trying to figure out the setup controls for an Xbox controller to the Wii
it is sad how people get ipads to replace their laptop. get an m1 or m2 macbook air if you have the money. macbooks don’t limit the boot of other os, access to the cmd, has a keyboard, not ipados (ios) and you don’t have to break countless tos to install apps via a jailbreak.
Alt Store is amazing
The website makes you download and register two new apps to be able to install and then when you do it doesn’t install.
7:58 haha 🤣🤣
What s the lagging like with the Bluetooth controller ? I tried years ago an android device with retro games and to me the experience wasn’t really enjoyable
