A recently released file-sharing app called Remote File Manager holds a secret that managed to get past Apple: it can boot up and play Super Nintendo games via built-in emulation software. According to TouchArcade, the *.smc files that hold SNES games aren’t actually on the list of supported file types that the app claims to be able to manage but the app can handle them just fine.
One of the most interesting features about this particular emulator is that it allows you to play games that are stored in a Dropbox account. This feature proves to be especially useful because you don’t actually have to ever move the software to your iPhone or iPad in order to play it. The whole concept is pretty cool despite the practice of emulation coming off as shady, immoral, and illegal to some. The Remote File Manager is available for $0.99 USD as of right now but chances are it won’t be up for very long as Apple is likely to pull it once news of its additional feature begins to spread.
