#2Pretty cool idea, the no jailbreak thing, while true, is a bit disingenuous though, since you need your own developer account.
What are the chances that Apple would just revoke all the keys used to build this app? Surely it's against their TOS?

Are you sure you need a dev account? I haven't tried it (yet), but the page claims:
"No jailbreak OR developer account required :)"

They're using MacBuildServer, which provisions it with its own enterprise account, which is against ToS and I would expect macbuildserver's public provisioning to get shut down and the profile revoked

#5Without external controller support (and hardware) these projects are all just proof of concept. That is, in this case you're still better of with an Android device and a controller via OTG/BT.

Yeah, this is blatant abuse of the enterprise certificate program. This kind of activity sucks for those of us that use the enterprise signing cert for legitimate purposes.

iOS 7 is getting official external game controller APIs:

So there's a future for that.

#8This is really cool. I found that the game music was a little laggy/skippy while playing Pokemon Sapphire, but that's really no issue for me.

#9Its always amazed me that Nintendo hasn't cashed in yet on creating an official emulator for iPhone/Andriod and releasing thier huge collection of old games in an official marketplace for people to download.... there is no doubt how popular that would be. Everyone would be playing pokemon again.

MacBuildServer created at least one of the certs they use for signing inhouse/universal distribution apps on 2013-05-15T16:48:45Z, and it has not yet been revoked. If it does get revoked, they can just remove that part of their service, and continue to allow people to upload their certs, keys and provisioning profiles for building server side. (o.O)
Once MBS becomes more popular, Apple will have to react to prevent others from abusing this. This is the first real test I can recall of their enforcement policy. Honestly, I can't see any enterprises that rely on iOS internally risking TOS violations in a similar public manner even if Apple decides not to enforce TOS with MBS.
