Emulators are applications that simulate game consoles on your iOS device. Being able to play Game Boy video games, such as Mario Bros, Zelda or Mario Kart is something that arouses a lot of interest to a large number of iOS users, as evidenced by the fact that when an application of this type sneaks into the App Store it becomes a download hit before Apple removes it from its store. GBA4iOS is one of these emulators, but with the advantage that it is not in the App Store, so Apple cannot remove it, nor does it need the Jailbreak to install, so it is the perfect emulator. In addition, it has just been updated to version 2.0, compatible with iOS 7, iPhone and iPad and MFi controllers. Do you want to know how to install it? We explain it to you below.
Installation is done directly from your device. Open in your internet browser this direction, and click on the button «Download GBA4iOS 2.0». A window will open in which you must click install, and a new icon will appear on your springboard. When you run the emulator for the first time, you must click on "Continue" in the window that appears, but it will not appear again.
The application does not contain any ROM, but you can get them by clicking on the "+" button in the upper right corner, using an integrated browser. ROMs from Game Boy Advanced and Game Boy Color. Running the games is as simple as clicking on the title in the list that GBA4iOS offers and using the virtual buttons on the screen, as if we had a Nintendo portable console in our hands.
Play famous titles like Super Mario Bros or Zelda it is already possible on our device. Much better if we use a controller MFIAlthough with a little practice, the virtual buttons also do the job.

Is it compatible with iOS6?
I downloaded it on my ipad with iOS 7 and on my iPhone with iOS 6 and it gives me "error while downloading".
No, you have to download the previous version that you have on the same page but below.
How did you guys manage to install an app from safari? without going through the app store !!
What is the name of the tweak with which the folders are seen in full screen (the second screenshot of this article)?
It's FolderEnhancer
I have an empty icon ... and when I run it, it reinstalls ...
And so on all the time.
Why can it be?
Thank you
THE ERROR THAT IT IS INSTALLED CONTINUOUSLY IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT A DATE BEFORE 19/02/2014, ONCE INSTALLED AND OPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE CORRECT DATE CAN BE RESETTED.
The same thing happens to me, it gets an error when installing, try it later ... I guess it will be saturated right now they will be updating anything
It does not let me run it, it installs, I give it to continue but then it exits the app and every time I want to enter the application it closes instantly
HELLO DOES NOT WORK, SALA THE APP IS ALWAYS BEING INSTALLED !!!
It doesn't install correctly… It happens installing over and over again.
Well, it suits me luxury, that is if the roms in English, but luxury
INSTALL IT VERY FAST ON THE IPHONE 5S…. AND IT WORKS VERY WELL 🙂
download the app but it does not install correctly in iOS 7
For those who are not installed correctly, patience. It has just been released and everyone will be downloading.
Doesn't work on the 4s? Installing all the time what is the solution?
On my iPhone it is luxurious but on the iPad mini the installation fails me, it installs over and over again I can't install it
Hello in my 4s everything fine, I failed the first time then I uninstalled it and it installed correctly !!
Does anyone know the route where the roms are to pass the ones I already have, thank you!
The ROMs are only in English? Can't they be downloaded in Spanish?
works perfectly!
It works perfectly on iPhone 4 and iPhone 5s.
What I want to know is if you can connect a Wii or PS3 remote like previous Cydia emulators did. Thanks
It works, bad but it works, the games are choppy and with a bad fps, in iphone 4 ios 7, I recommend the jb emulator that works well.
Very good contribution! I thus install tongbu on your day, to install programs from the AppStore for free, and it goes great. What I'm wondering is why cydia cannot be installed in the same way… ..I don't know if it could be….
This is done through certificates that Apple can revoke whenever it wants, if they did it for cydia the certificate would not last a day ...
What wonderful news, it works wonderfully, I love it 😀
On iphone 5 it works very well. The only thing that does not sync me with Dropbox, when the dropbox app opens it tells me. "Application error: Only a limited set of users can receive access tokens while the application is in development mode." Has anyone been able to sync the emulator with Dropbox?
Thank you
Hi Juan, the same thing happens to me when trying to sync with Dropbox. The emulator works great, but for some reason that synchronization does not work. Does anyone know why?
It works perfectly. Follow the instructions and change the date before installing the app. Games can be added without problems from iTunes. It's a great app, hopefully it lasts a long time.
This is the app that copies all your personal data from your iPhone?
does not install me
it just says loading…. finish and say loading again
it is NEVER installed !!
What's up!?
Hello, for those who do not work because it installs over and over again.
They have to change the date before February 19, 2014. And so they installed immediately. Once it is opened for the first time, they can return to the normal date.
For games you have to do the same.
Any questions about the operation of this app or another.
I leave my twitter
@applepodmx
Hello, discard the ROM of super Mario 3, everything works very well, but it has no sound, does anyone know why?
