Game Boy emulator now available on the iPhone following App Store rules change [update: gone]

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/game-boy-emulator-iphone.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p><strong>Update: </strong>The app has now been removed from the App Store (https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/15/igba-emulator-pulled-from-app-store/). Original story below.</p>



<p>Apple changed the App Store rules last week to seemingly permit game emulators (https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/05/app-store-guidelines-music-apps-game-emulators/) on the iPhone for the first time.</p>



<p>Following that policy change, the first emulator apps are now appearing on the store. iGBA (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/igba-gba-gbc-retro-emulator/id6482993626) is a free Game Boy game emulator for iPhone and iPad, which can indeed load and play ROMs downloaded to the device — a category of application that Apple would have unequivocally rejected a fortnight ago.</p>
