I've played an early Nintendo 3DS emulator for iPhone — light on features but games run perfectly, even without 3D

Unleash the emulation kraken! Now that you can download retro gaming emulators from the App Store, we’re starting to see and hear about more upcoming releases of apps that will be able to run console games from the past.

One in particular is called Folium, developed by Jarrod Norwell. The app emulates three handhelds: Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS. The first two can already be played through Delta, another multi-system emulator that was released on April 17 for iPhone. The 3DS portion isn't currently served anywhere else on iPhone, with its unique hardware making for an interesting emulation exercise.
