Continuing with the number of available retro emulators found in the Apple Store, after Apple's decision to finally allow videogame emulators on their store, another retro console emulator is now available for Apple users to enjoy.

The latest emulator to join the ranks is an emulator for the original PlayStation console, titled "Gamma", by ZodTTD. This new emulator includes known emulator features, like Memory Card save emulation, save states, cloud save syncing, bluetooth controller support, and box cover artwork.
ZodTTD is known for having a wide variety of iPhone-centric applications, which include a number of retro emulators aside from Gamma, like an N64 emulator and others, and it's also a well-known developer in the jailbreaking scene for iPhone devices, with other apps like an Ad-blocker and homebrew games.

Here's a more detailed list of the features currently added into the Gamma emulator:

Video game console emulation is here!

ZodTTD is back and this time they've brought you classic PS 1 gaming!
Gamma is the fully featured video game console emulator that you've come to expect.

Save States:
- Save and load a game at any point.
- Automatically save your progress.

Sync:
- Use your favorite backup services to sync your files.
- Automatically backs up your save states.

Hardware Controller Support:
- Supports your favorite console and PC bluetooth & MFi game controllers.
- Bluetooth & wired keyboards are also supported!

Controller Skins:
- Comes with well-crafted portrait and landscape controllers.
- Create your own controller skins.

Game Cover Artwork:
- Quickly set game cover artwork to your titles.

The emulator is now available for download in the Apple Store, and it requires iOS version 15.0 or above to be able to install it, and the emulator is also completely free. There seem to be some issue reports with the emulator, but we can expect those to be ironed out in due time.

Never heard about Gamma before, but this is another welcoming addition for the iOS emulation scene as a whole! Can't delta play PS1 games though??

You too like Castlevania????

Is it as good as the DuckStation? That one's awesome.

Why does this remind me of the robot Gamma from Mega Man 3?

Metroidvania-style games are my absolute favorite. I fucking love Castlevania

Reviews are showing it’s still early, rough, and being optimized. Unfortunately, the iPhone hardware still needs a lot of a work to catch up to Android in the terms of optimization.

One of the features I love about DS (not the Nintendo DS ) is forcing PAL games to run at 60Hz than the shitty 50Hz.

That's a brilliant idea that should've been added years ago to every emulator.

I believe that every single emulator that releases for iOS, in a medium to long term, can be better then its counterpart on Android. It just need its time and proper optimization.

What the hell do they need that info for?

There are also ADs!

Anyways, I tried Tonyhax international for laughs, and it unsurprisingly doesn’t work (no real BIOS file is used by this).

On the other hand, open 95 keygen psx works just fine! https://alex-free.github.io/open95keygen-psx/

Neat, but going to delete it. ZodTTD is super old school, ZodTTD put out an N64 emulator on for jailbroken IOS 5 way back then about 12 years ago.

To give to Sony so that when they come to your house you can show them your console and real game discs

we'll see how long this one lasts

Certainly not a PS d-pad.

The dev behind this emulator is big within the jailbreak scene. Unfortunately, this emulator isn't all that its cracked up to be. It's filled with ads, and its got rendering issues unlike Provenance (which is soon to be released on the app store).

I would just wait for Provenance (or Retroarch - which was also submitted into the app store).

I keep forgetting to add this to Tonyhax international, thanks for reminding me!
