Just over a week after Apple's policy change to allow game emulators on the iOS App Store, game emulators have begun to appear, marking a significant shift in Apple's stance towards emulation software. The first official emulator, a Game Boy Advance emulator named iGBA, supports homebrew Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color games, as well as legally owned backed-up ROMs, and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and the Vision Pro. This development opens up new possibilities for gaming on iOS devices, though a report of a fraudulent version of the GBA4iOS emulator has raised concerns about the App Store's verification process. Despite this, the introduction of emulators is seen as a step towards enhancing the gaming experience on iOS devices, especially with the addition of external game controller support.
iPhone users can finally download emulators for iOS. https://t.co/RIAz52IchE
