    Man this old button overlay for that emulator in the thumbnail really brings back nostalgia from the early days of having jailbroken iphone 4 & ipod touch with Cydia back in the day. That was actually my first experience with emulation on mobile phones so this is really awesome to see it come full circle officially even as someone who hasn't had an iphone since iPhone 4.
    I specifically remember having the same controller overlays as the thumbnail here and even figuring out how to edit said overlay to customize it for fun. PSP was my first experience with "jailbreaking", followed by iPod Touch, and later iPhone 4. This was during my HS years (class of 2010). I even wrote some guides for jailbreaking PSP & iPod Touch at this time for a now defunct tech blog called AllTechRelated. These were some great memories of mine 🤙❤

    Lol, what kind of forward thinking would it be if Nintendo approached Apple, and said, help us, help you, to help us. Allow emulation, so we can sue the socks off multiple emulators, make a boat load of money, examples out of people, and it will also support your case for the security provided by a closed Apple Ecosystem. The courts will set precedence, and put an end to all of the anti-consumer complaints and our crusade against piracy, helping us both!

    For the record, real GBA4iOS isn't hard to get ahold of at all. I use Altstore but if you're running the right device and version to use Trollstore that'll be the option you want to use. Delta is by the same developer and supports more systems but GBA4iOS is a better GB/C/A emulator (Delta lack s link support, for starters)

    Nintendo's stance on emulators will persist until Apple / Microsoft decide they wish to sell emulators. At which point they will say, 'come and stop us', and Nintendo's lawyers will shrink back into their shells.

    Would Nintendo ask for this app to be taken down on hours and would Apple allow Antstream on the IOS and Apple TV ?

    Not available in Canadian store, must be US only.

    Um the app isn’t made developed by Nintendo so how are all these games licensed and at 2:00 the website says that you should avoid this. Why is this?

      They don’t provide any games. They provide a website portal to home brew gbc/gba games

    We FINALLY have a GBA emulator.
    Don’t care how it came about or who’s idea it’s based off, just leave the damn thing alone so can simply enjoy some retro classics in peace..
