Well, you just have to consider that the chip in the 3GS (you could call it "A3" if you want), A4, and A5, and A5X all had Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9 processors with NEON. iOS runs native code, and if they dropped NEON support all of a sudden they'd lose a ton of compatibility. There would be public outrage if this happened. So you could say that the lack of news about A6 and NEON is the best indicator that it still has it. Although there are other sources that show this is the case as well. That, and the NEON-based renderer I wrote for PCSX-reARMed wouldn't work on it and I'm pretty sure it does.

I would make one that's covered with ads, and then in the settings make a little button that says "Remove ads", and when people click it, it will say "Get an Android Phone".
Their fault for getting such a lousy phone.

If this does get ported, 5s users will be happy (5s is gonna be quad core) to play most games at full speed. Anyway good luck Exo on the port

Creating posts like "plz help ios" " I need dis game" isn't helping the devs at all,they will just ignore you. Assuming you haven't read the FAQ, Exophase will work on one, but your just gonna have to wait a couple of months.

Please don't lie. if anything, you would also complain that 8usd is expensive for an emulator.

But such accurate one is simply amazing. So 8$ for this emulator is completely normal... Hard word is normally well received
and a good compensation for it is completely normal.

Very laggy though, I'm not sure if it can play 1 game up to full speed.
