I wish someone made a Nintendo like mfi controller
Wish I was. The lag on my Nimbus was never resolved, so I bought a Raspberry Pi to do all this kinda stuff.
I've been using it a lot less since Apple forced you to go to a paid developer account or recompile every 7 days.
So the Nimbus lag is gone now? In particularly for Super Mario World? Might have to give it another whirl.
I had just received the USB-C cable in the mail when the 7-day thing hit. I'm not really inclined to go through all this every week, so I've missed out.
And now I have an MFi controller that I don't use for anything because I don't really care for what's in the app store.

Earning money with hacking Apple hardware?
Get the Ipwnstore thing is totally worth it
Been using it since June , you can upload your own .ipa or use theirs
No more 7 day limits , to me that's worth a one time fee of $10
Better than apples $100 a year fee
I saw what kind of USB cable needs to be purchased (3.0 > C), and even managed to make Mac work (and needs to be the latest version) in a VirtualBox. However, I heard some people talking about an expiry date for the free developers account, and even the app itself. At least I heard this about Kodi, that we needed to install within 7 days, and even after that, it would take X days for a reinstall.
Can someone explain how the whole thing with the free Apple developers account works? Can we use Provenance indefinitely and emulating a Mac in VirtualBox to proceed with this install? I haven't tried yet because I haven't got the USB cable.

I had initially tried out Provenance a year ago, and the lag/latency on the controller made it unusable for me. Literally just tried it again this past weekend (after getting annoyed about how impossible it seems to be to find a Classic NES), and I'm quite impressed with how responsive the controller timing seems to be. Loaded a bunch of roms, but been playing Mario World and Mario Kart the most. Honestly I'm having a hard time putting it down. Just picked up a second Nimbus controller for some multiplayer fun now.
Actually I recently installed Provenance on my iPad - another excellent way to play as the iPad screen is 4:3 so the old school games fill it perfectly.

I've probably mentioned this before, but I feel like there is a huge opportunity for both Nintendo and Apple if they partnered on a deeper level for gaming. Let Nintendo work on first party titles and MFI controllers, and let Apple work on the hardware and app store / ecosystem. Imagine a $150-200 Apple TV with a dedicated Nintendo section in the app store. I think you'd see both people purchasing an Apple TV to access Nintendo games, and also people with an Apple TV purchasing Nintendo games that wouldn't otherwise buy a dedicated Nintendo console. Nevermind the huge audience of iOS users that they could reach.
you can test the lag on mega man gutsman level
at 0:31
i couldn't pass that part before cause of the lag , now i can

Haha, you can tell exactly how that would have been a problem.
Is that your video? Loved the commentary.
Do you think there's a chance N64 and PlayStation could come to Provenance?
Or I'd love to see OpenEmu on Apple TV but I don't think that's happening.
N64 emulation might be limited by the ATV's hardware, but I suppose it's possible. Given the way Sony went after Bleem! all those years ago, I wouldn't expect an easy road to emulating any PS hardware.
