BigPEmu Officially Comes to iOS Tomorrow!
It's been a longer road than I might've expected, but I'm finally releasing BigPEmu on the App Store for $9.99 USD tomorrow morning! I've posted about this on my various social media accounts, but to reiterate here, it will help a ton for everyone to spread the message and encourage folks to purchase it tomorrow if they're willing/interested. The bigger I can make that upfront purchase blip, the greater my chances of being highlighted by The Algorithm and making it onto some of the App Store lists. That would result in a whole bunch more organic exposure. So the release tomorrow is a vital period to try to get at least a little bit of a wave going, and we'll see how far it takes us.
If anyone has ever thought "I'd like to help this guy out, but I don't want to use Patreon to do it", this is a great time for that! Apple will take their pound of flesh, but most of it will still end up in my hands. Just as importantly, the purchase will count toward helping BigPEmu climb the App Store ranks.
I'm planning on releasing v1.16 across all platforms to the public tomorrow to coincide with this, and will be making the proper announcement for that along with the iOS release tomorrow morning at around 9am PST.
Please do help me spread the word as much as you can tomorrow, by any social platform/word of mouth within your means, as well as by helping to amplify the announcement posts I'll be making tomorrow morning on Elon's Garbage Twitter and Bluesky.

And don't forget, I have a Discord server where you can come hang out and occasionally witness my drug-fueled philosophical ramblings: https://discord.gg/mahu8qUVQZ
Thank you everyone in advance for your support, and thank you again for your support up to this point! I know that releasing an emulator for a relatively obscure platform as a paid app on iOS is going to have a ceiling on it, but I'm hoping we can push that ceiling higher than my normally pessimistic outlook anticipates.

Great to see BigPEmu getting a mention in "Modern Vintage Gamer's" The BEST Emulators of 2024 YouTube video.
Ahh, this is the first I've heard of this, thanks! That explains all those people suddenly joining the Discord server today.
Can't wait to try the iOS version. Thanks Rich :)
Epic! Congrats, Rich☺️🥳
