This is the same that occured with PocketPC, no? I bought several games on PPC that I am no longer able to run, because lack of emulators (if any, please mention some), but mostly because many games and software at the time required an activation code which is no longer available because the companies/authors/servers disappeared.

Unlike the iOS emulator in xCode, it looks like you can actually load third party apps into this. Can't help with dead activation servers though.
