== MechDome ==
 
MechDome was a company that had tools to provide translation of Android apps to iOS, macOS, and Windows, however it dissolved in 2018, and was extremely costly from the start. see https://twitter.com/mech_dome
 
Basically, we've got another Cycada, an absolutely amazing compatibility layer lost to time. As iOS grows in the USA, many will want this dearly.

May you please move this section to a sub-page instead of linking to an old version of the page please, just including the removed emulators in an infobox and a description?
