old stupid ipad cant do nothing

[harrydubois]

my sibling got a new ipad and they gave me their old one, very nice!! i decide to look for an open world game to play on it since i dont have space for one on my phone + they dont run well at all. i find infinity nikki. its very new so i dont have high expectations. i wait hours for it to download, it finishes, i play the intro, its shit but it works! then it starts to load the actual game... it crashes. i try again and again but it just keeps crashing and im so devastated i was excited to play.........

Tech usually moves quickly, but that doesn't mean it's completely useless. If your goal is to run newer apps and games, you'll have to lower your expectations a little, but for older apps, games, and browsing it should work fine. You could also try to modify the iPad "jailbreak", but that's not something I think I could get into here.

Cant you install MelonDS or ScummVM on it and play all those visual novels and point and clicks with the tactile screen?

Seems to me the tactile screen is the better fit for games of this kind. If you got a stylus you've got Nintendo DS's bigger version.

I've checked your game Infinity Nicky and tbf I wouldn't touch that free to play with a ten foot pole, even if they got the latest AI generated fan service.

Apple never really had a great gaming reputation. Even the reputation it does have its like paying a premium for less features than competing products.
