If you’re particularly interested in Nintendo DS emulation, iNDS is a solid choice for iOS devices, including your iPad Pro M4. This emulator is known for its high performance and easy setup, allowing you to play classics like Pokémon and Mario Kart DS smoothly.
It handles both 2D and 3D games with relatively minimal lag, thanks to the power of the M4 chip.
However, some newer iOS updates occasionally cause compatibility issues, and certain games may not run perfectly out of the box.
If you’re looking to fine-tune your experience, LambdaTest could be useful here as well—helping you simulate and test how the emulator performs on different iOS versions and configurations, ensuring you’re getting the most optimized experience possible for iOS 17.5.1.
