A new NES emulator was briefly available on the Apple App Store

Now, clicking on a link to Bimmy shows “This app is currently not available in your country or region.” This time, it wasn’t Apple that removed it but the developer. Over on MacRumors’ forums, the developer said it pulled the app “out of fear.”

“No one pressured me to, but I got more nervous about it as the day went on,” it wrote.

Welp.

That’s a shame because this one was much more promising than iGBA, which had plenty to be concerned about where data collection is concerned and was rife with ads. Bimmy’s developer posted the GitHub link to its open-source code on the MacRumors forum and said Bimmy has “no ads or tracking of any kind.”
