| − | + | The only code touchHLE emulates is the app binary and some libraries, while touchHLE itself takes place of iOS and provides its own implementation of system frameworks such as Foundation, UIKit, OpenGL ES, OpenAL, etc. In addition, the developer intended touchHLE as a way to run and preserve early iOS games especially considering Apple's spotty track record with software preservation, with newer devices being unable to run older apps and games and the difficulty of installing delisted games. | |
