In this video, we take a look at and test out the new Apple iPad mini 6th Generation 2021. A15 Bionic chip, 8.3" Liquid Retina display, 60Hz refresh rate, Apple Pencil 2nd Generation support and it runs games like Minecraft, Genshin Impact Pubg, and Call of Duty Mobile at full speed plus this little tablet can run our favorite emulator like PSP using PPSSPP, Sega Saturn, PS1, MAME, GBA and many more using RetroArch for IOS Unfortunately as of making this video the Dolphin Emulator is not working with IOS 15 on the iPad mini so no Gamecube and Wii emulation yet! and by the way, the 6th generation iPad Mini does support HDMI over USB C!

I've got an iPad Pro and it plays a lot of games like a dream. I just wish it wasn't such a pain to maintain access to the emulators on iOS devices.

I don't know it this is a big victory for this tablet, but all the emulated games shown are working perfectly on ~ 2013 smartphones.
Would be interesting to see how it handles switch and ps2 emulation, but i guess it's not ios compatible.

cool but i prefer a POCO F3 pro + razer kishi.
That alt store shit is such an hassle on IOS.

Hate that i need to refresh it. It sometimes won't work. I still use it on my daily driver.. Because fuck youtube adds.

No high end smartphones from 2018. PSP and SegaSaturn are here running better than original hardwares. I don’t remember my Note 8 running those that great at launch.

Would your Note 8 perform the same today as it did on launch, tho?

What shenanigans are necessary to run emulators on iOS?
I don’t see a RetroArch app on the App Store.

I played all of these ( and much more) full speed and with shaders on my rooted Note 3.
Ppsspp, psx, fbn run on a potato and Saturn emulation is usually hit&miss, but nothing to raise eyebrows.

There are other much more intensive games/drivers (in mame in particular) this youtuber could have tested, so we'd see how powerful the tablet actually is though.

You need to go through some hoops to install something called altstore. You dont need to jailbreak but its a bit annoying to mantain.

I have a ds emu and dolphin on my ipad pro

 

[MasterCornholio]

Getting emulation on the Steam Deck is going to be a lot easier than on this.

The all-new 2021 iPad Mini 6 can run Gamecube and Wii games at full speed on ios 15 even upscaled to 1080P using the dolphin emulator for ios know as Dolphinios and in this video, we test a bunch of Gamecube and Wii games running on the 6th gen iPad Mini. Powered by the A15 Bionic chip, 8.3" Liquid Retina display, 60Hz refresh rate, Apple Pencil 2nd Generation support. THIS VIDEO IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES ONLY!

Any reason as to why the ipad doesn't run ios games in fullscreen? What is up with those black borders on the sides?

iPad screens are 4:3, most games are made for the iPhone which is 16:9.

But why then are the borders on the sides in landscape, and not top and bottom?
