Good day for fans of the emulator: after the delta release of the iPad version – which was initially not available in the EU – it finally became available UTM SE It was built on the Apple platform. With that device In the App Store Released for iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro, it is possible to use older versions of MacOS, Windows and Linux, as well as various esoteric operating systems. Apple initially refused to allow QEMU-based applications, but now it has been released after adjustments.

UTM SE is a PC emulator that allows users to run “classic old-school software and games”, the manufacturer writes. It is a multi-emulator that can represent x86 as well as PowerPC and RISC-V architectures. There are several full-fledged “machines” that you can download and install. Alternatively, it is also possible to create your own emulation, including the maximum possible freedom of configuration.
Windows XP, macOS 9, but also newer systems like Debian 11, which runs as an ARM VM, can be used. The software can be used for free and runs on iOS 14 or iPadOS 14. Vision Pro starts with VisionOS 1.0. However, the download is quite powerful at 1.7 GB. If the emulation runs unreasonably slow, you will have to go into the settings, which does not always lead to success.
Apple didn’t want this at first
Apple initially objected to allowing the app. One of the justifications was that there were no PC emulation consoles, which has been allowed for several months. With the help of various partners, including the creators of AltStore and other developers, the UTM team succeeded in Customize the code as followsthat Apple announced the approval.
The UTM project actually wanted to abandon UTM SE altogether because the user experience was below average. Apple currently does not allow JIT compilation. It seems that the topic is now out of discussion. By the way, the “SE” in UTM SE stands for “Slow Edition” – slow version.
