There’s finally a retro PC emulator on the App Store
What is UTM SE?
UTM SE is a retro PC emulator app that allows users to run classic software and old-school games on their Apple devices. It supports both VGA mode for graphics and terminal mode for text-only operating systems, and emulates x86, PPC, and RISC-V architectures24. The app is now available for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro1.
Which platforms support UTM SE?
UTM SE supports iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS platforms. It is available for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro devices. The app allows users to run classic software and old-school games for Windows OS, Mac OS 9, and Linux OS on their iPhones, iPads, and Vision Pro devices6.
Why did Apple initially reject UTM SE?
Apple initially rejected UTM SE because it offered a "subpar experience" and did not comply with Apple's restrictions. The company argued that a PC is not a console, which excluded UTM SE from the recently relaxed App Store rules that allowed console emulators like Delta or Folium.
