Apple recently relaxed its rules on using emulators on iOS devices, causing a stir in the tech community. A prominent FPGA developer, Adam Gastineau, has announced that he is working on creating a Virtual Boy emulator for Nintendo, specifically designed for Apple‘s high-end Vision Pro AR glasses. This move follows the footsteps of the Meta Quest line, which already offers similar features. However, Adam has encountered some challenges with the emulator not functioning as expected on the Vision Pro, citing a possible memory glitch that could be linked to the compiler used in the development process.

I'm working on my Virtual Boy emulator for Vision Pro. I've run into some strange issues where the emulator is not performing deterministically (which it should), specifically on Vision. I have to track down some kind of memory bug, that may be in the compiler that I introduced.
