Ask SI about Provenance

Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Provenance combines multiple emulation cores with an Apple-device game library, metadata and iCloud-related features. It offers installation routes with different access terms.

Choose the supported installation route first, then check the core for the system you want to play. Library metadata helps browse a collection, but it does not establish the compatibility or rights of each imported game.

The official page separates two access models: sideloaded or self-built versions are entirely free, while App Store builds keep the core free and offer optional Plus features. It also describes per-core audio/settings adjustments, so check the selected core when troubleshooting a particular system.

Evidence

The official body documents Apple-device libraries, metadata/sync and a clear sideloaded-versus-App-Store payment distinction. These controls support the input/output band without inventing Plus quotas or universal core compatibility.

Limits: AI review of saved source passages. No hands-on test, human approval or automatic-provider checker receipt.
