iEmu este un emulator pentru diverse sisteme de operare al carui singur scop este acela de a emula un iDevice. Practic pe Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc, vom putea emula functiile unui iDevice, indiferent care este aceasta. iEmu este un proiect pe care il face un apropiat al lui MuscleNerd iar dezvoltatorul iEmu sustine ca putem emula chiar si rularea aplicatiilor ori un restore facut prin iTunes. Desigur ca deocamdata iEmu este in stadiile incipiente ale dezvoltarii iar developerul are nevoie de o suma de bani pentru a continua munca.
iEmu is an emulator based on the popular open-source emulator QEMU. The project’s primary goal is to implement support for the S5L8930 chipset, which is used in the iPhone 4 and the first-generation iPad. Since the specifications for this chipset and other supporting hardware used by Apple’s devices aren’t public, supporting these devices takes some heavy reverse engineering. This takes time and dedication, which is why progress so far has been slow. My new approach is to dedicate myself completely to this project and show the world the full potential of iEmu.
Once iEmu is complete it will be possible to run it on Linux, Windows, Mac, mobile platforms such as Android, and even on iOS itself. It will act as a debugger for some, and perhaps will be a QA tool for others. It will also enable security experts to capture and analyze iOS malware in a sandboxed environment.
Partea interesanta? Folosind iEmu putem face si jailbreak unui iDevice deci vom putea simula instalarea tweak-urilor din Cydia direct pe calculator inainte de a le instala direct in terminalul nostru. Deocamdata pur teoretic totul suna bine insa abia cand vom vedea o versiune functionala a programului vom sti cat de bine a pregatit dezvoltatorul tot. iEmu oate fi vizualizat pe kickstarter.com aici unde puteti dona o suma de bani pentru sustinerea dezvoltatorului care va finaliza intregul proiect.
