CTOnews.com, March 11 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-- A female developer recently launched a simulator that allows players to play some old iPhone games on PC. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of iPhone SDK, which Apple launched on March 6, 2008, a developer called @ hikari_no_yume launched a simulator called "touchHLE" that allows you to play old iPhone games on PC.

Developers now want to simulate the iOS system, there is a great technical challenge. However, the old version of iPhone OS (the original version of iOS, which was renamed iOS on June 7, 2010) has many known vulnerabilities and is not as hardware dependent as it is now, so it can be simulated on the PC side.

Instead of trying to simulate the entire iPhone OS, developers focus on running certain games. For example, she successfully simulates games such as Super Monkey Ball, Flight Control and Angry Birds through the "touchHLE" simulator, and optimizes the game.

She did not use any code written by Apple in her development to avoid being accused of copyright infringement by Apple. CTOnews.com translated her original words as follows:

In this project, I have been very careful, perhaps more careful than most people, not to infringe the copyright of Apple as much as possible. I don't use any code written by Apple, and I've been careful not to reverse engineer the iPhone operating system itself.
