=<B>Multi;Before diving in;;*See each Wiki Category [[:Category:Consoles|Consoles]], [[:Category:Computers|Computers]] and [[:Category:Arcade|Arcade]] for individual dedicated system pages to see more detailed comparisons and information about software emulators. Dedicated system pages provide more up-Systems</B>=to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, and compatibility etc.;*Some games have [[Game engine recreations and source ports]] that run on iOS, which can be the better than emulators for their specific games.

=<B>Sony<==Eclipse=== [https:/B>=/eclipseemu.me Eclipse] is a web-based emulator for iOS devices. It supports classic Nintendo systems (NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA) as well as Sega Game Gear and Master System. It's very easy to use since it doesn't require any third-party app store or jailbreak, instead the website can simply be added to the home screen from Safari. It also works offline. However, it doesn't have as many features as other emulators.
