Play Gameboy (GBA Emulator) On iPhone For Free (iOS 6)

Play Gameboy (GBA Emulator) On iPhone For Free (iOS 6)



Ever since I started jailbreak in the days of iPhone Software 2 I thought emulators were one of the coolest additions available. If you don’t know, an emulator allows you to simulate a video game console inside of a program and can load game files, otherwise known as ROMs. Recently, ZodTTD released a beta version of an updated version of his GBA emulator, gpSPhone v8.0.0.
The update to gpSPhone adds an easy way to download roms onto your device by tapping the magnifying glass on the top right. This will lead to a search powered by CoolRoms. CoolRoms has a mobile layout that makes it extremely easy to download and play almost any game you want. Note that it is illegal to download roms in which you do not own a physical copy of.
On top off the rom finding connivence this new update offers a smoother interface and all around better working application. Many people have reported crashing on launch and this is most likely because of the nature of the beta. All significant errors should be fixed by public release. The controls now strech to the sides of the five inch screen on newer devices, however, due to the GBA resolution the playing screen will not fit the full five inch screen.
To install, add the repo:

Enjoy!
