If you’re one of us old school game fanatics, but own a modern iOS phone that does not support your favorite Gameboy Advanced games, you’re in the right place, as here’s a quick guide showing you how to install a GBA emulator and use it to play a large variety of games without any jailbreaking involved.
Before we start, however, make sure your iOS device is not too old, as devices older than an iPhone 6 may not support this emulator properly. Also, we recommend updating your device firmware to the latest version to avoid any issues later.
So what is the GBA Emulator?
GBA4iOS is an emulator platform that you can use to play retro games on the iPhone and iPad. Since Apple doesn’t allow GBA games on the iPhone, people often jailbreak their iPhone and iPad to play Gameboy Advanced titles on them.
