You can do this independently of the App Store or Cydia, but there are a number of methods you can choose to get it onto the device. Choose your preferred method from below, follow the guide through, and then jump back onto this article to finish off the process:

Step 3: You should now have the Nestopia app sideloaded on your device. In an ideal world, you would be able to simply tap on that app to launch it.

To start this process, head into the stock Settings app and navigate to General > Profiles & Device Management. On some iOS devices, this may have a slightly different name.

Step 4: Locate the profile assigned to the Nestopia installation and tap on it. You will instantly see a Trust button in the middle of the display. Tap on that and when the confirmation dialogue appears tap on Trust again.

Step 5: You should now be able to exit out of the Settings app and launch the full Nestopia experience without it crashing back to the Home screen.

That’s it! You can now grab your favorite NES ROMs and enjoy those classic titles right on your iPhone or iPad.
