iPhone 5s with Open GL ES 3.0

The new iPhone now has Open GL ES 3.0, do you think Dolphin can be ported to iOS?

Not without breaking a gazillion of the rules to the app store. The only way to distribute it would be via cydia to jailbroken devices, and by that point no-one can be bothered.

When a jailbreak comes out in a few months there will be millions of jailbroken devices.

But like he said, no one cares

How do you know? My guess is it would be hugely popular among the jailbreak community, there are lots of emulators for other consoles on cydia, why not Dolphin?

Then tell them to do it

Heck if I had the ability to, I'd be more than happy to make a port! lol

This isn't a good idea IMO, because:

It'd be only for iDevices with OpenGL ES 3.0
If it has OGL 3.0, then it must have a new, faster processer (A7)
The newer processors are harder to jailbreak
If there was a jailbreak, only users with OGL 3.0 compatible iDevices would be able to use it, and so far, it isn't a worthy amount to put forth such effort to port the emulator.

I might think it's a bad idea, but honestly I'm all for it.
