Retro games and Apple devices are two of my main tech interests. A lot of people, including myself for the longest time, think that there is no way to emulate games if you use Apple devices unless you go through the frustrating process of loading AltStore/jailbreaking. However there are plenty of emulators that run via a web app that can be installed via safari. The essential iOS app thread inspired me to make this thread since these didn’t really fit the criteria of an “iOS app”. I’m going to list the sites and platforms that I use but please post your preferences in the comments. Afterplay [https://afterplay.io] is my personal favorite. It can play SNES, GB/GBC/GBA on the free tier. NES, Genesis, and DS support is part of the premium tier ($6 a month). Whether you are on the free or paid tier, this is the only web emulator that I know of that has true save and ROM syncing between devices. Afterplay uses lib-retro cores as its backend and exposes a lot of different options that other web emulators don’t. A major con of this project is that it doesn’t have offline support at the moment but it has been announced as coming. DS Player [https://ds.44670.org] is a DS emulator that uses desmume-wasm as its emulator core. It allows you to connect to dropbox to sync saves. It features offline support but is a lot more barebones than afterplay’s ds core. Its totally free however Emulator.JS [https://demo.emulatorjs.org] is another project like after play in that it is a web frontend for a lot of js/wasm ports of lib-retro cores. It runs a multitude of systems including N64 and PS1 and it runs them at actually playable speed. However I can only seem to get it to work with touch controls on iOS. I don’t know if that is a problem with my controller (I use a razor Kishi 2) or with the emulator.js. It recognizes the controller just won’t rebind the controls no matter what I do. [Eclipse](eclipse emu.me [http://emu.me]) is a web emulator with focus on NES, SNES, and GB/GBC/GBA. It allows you to connect to google drive and manage your library via the cloud. It also has offline support and is completely free. Mods, I’m not involved with any of these projects so I’m I’m sorry if this breaks rules on advertising.
I was thinking about this recently… By going to a federated system, one that essentially copies all of your content from one instance to another, when you delete a comment, does that comment get deleted on every instance? Is that even possible?
So, let's say you have accounts on multiple instances. And let's say you use each account separately and none of them you consider your "home" instance yet.
It would be cool if there was a web app that could allow you to login to each of the instances, and it would gather your message inbox into one inbox, and allow you to reply to each message from the instance account that it was attached to. Or to switch accounts if you want to start using a single instance as a "home" instance.
Does that make any sense?
Like, I've got separate accounts on Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Lemmy.one. Beehaw.org, etc. and I've been logging in separately to each of them because I don't have all the community subscriptions synced between them all yet and I'm not sure which one I want to use as my home instance.
So it would be cool to be able to login to a single web app and see my reply inboxes from each instance.

Hi there... I'm not sure if this is just because lemmy.ml is overloaded right now or what, but if I'm on a different instance and I want to subscribe to a community that lives on lemmy.ml, then when I hit the "subscribe" button, nothing happens. When I hit it again, it gives me this yellow "subscribe pending" button:
Is there a queue that the request goes into on the parent instance or something? Or do I just have to wait until traffic dies down to subscribe?

Hi guys, I heard some news about DC doing another reboot of the universe and restoring it to pre-crisis (like, pre-original crisis on infinite earths) status, so I decided to get back up to speed on the current goings-on, since I kind of dropped off after New 52.
I decided to pick it back up after researching what that whole Metal thing was about. I read Death Metal, and now I'm moving on to New Frontier, I think. Hopefully I get caught up soon.
What are your impressions of DC lately?
I really wish there was a way to setup a new server system that allowed people to play it online again.
