Unlike previous iOS emulation attempts, BlackThuder make use of iOS emulator embedded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode Xcode], which form a double-layer virtualization, rather than trying to emulate iOS devices (iPhone, iPad etc.) themselves.
To use this emulatorIn the past, a specially made [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackintosh Hackintosh] VirtualBox disk image (Which is a highly trimmed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS macOS] High Sierra containing Xcode) is required. This for BlackThuder, but users need to obtain the image can be obtained manually on the downloading page of BlackThunder website. As of version 2.0, the Hackintosh image is intergated to BlackThuder's installer and the website is therefore no longer provide any download link to it.
BlackThunder is capable to run up to 73 commercial iOS programs (10 applications, 63 games), including some popular games like ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_of_Valor Arena of Valor]''. However, all applications must be download from BlackThunder server and user cannot run their own apps. All officially supported applications run quite fine (including graphic, 3D acceleration, sound, touch and network) as long as the host PC is capable to run the emulator.
===Legal Issues===

Probably to avoid legal impact on the company, The image is distributed either torrent or via Chinese file hosting services (BaiduPan and CtFile), rather than hosted on BlackThunder server.
