      Honestly I’d love a GCN emulator if you know of a good one for iOS. I use Dolphin on my laptop, but I’m not always able to be on my laptop.

        Sorry, I don’t mess with AltStore/TrollStore so I’m not super knowledgeable with those options. If you do run AltStore on a Mac, I think you are then able to use JIT which you need to be able to run GCN emulation via dolphin. And I think there are also ways to use JIT over the cloud but I’m not familiar with those methods.
