Well you can just buy them from the market place. Not sure what the best gba emu is, but I use "My Boy", since that one was highly rated. It works good enough. There is a PSP emu that's called "PPSSPP" that is continually improving and free. This emu is the go to PSP emulator on the PC as well. I saw I could run Crisis Core at decent speeds now, while I couldn't before. DraStic is a great DS emulator. I use ePSXe for PSX games not sure if it's the best one for android, but the emulator is great on PC.

Well on Android you would not have this issue. Sounds to shady for me.

I've never seen an app install like that from the browser. What just happened.

Nice for iOS-only people, although it's a shame that Apple is so restrictive with what they allow on the App Store (not that it doesn't have its upsides), and above all what they allow you to do with your own device.
Find one you like, install it, done. Android lets you install whatever you want without jumping through hoops and taking advantage of loopholes. (If the app isn't from Google Play you'll have to go into your phone settings and allow apps from unknown sources.)
Here's one that's supposed to be good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fastemulator.gbafree (there's also a paid version with more features)

Have you guys played around with Skins yet?
I've been switching between these three:
Unfortunately it only runs on iOS 7. You can try the earlier version on that download page though.

for the life of me I can't seem to get it to install
iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4 here, it either errors out or just stops installing

Before install it. Try to set the date to yesterday, once it installed run it once like that. After that, it seems that it works fine. That's what a friend did. In my case, it run well even when i didn't change the date.

Have you rolled back the date on your device? I updated the OP with the information, but I guess it could still be easy to miss. Doing that should fix the issue.

ah okay, I had seen the OP before heading home from work and then started the process on my phone while making dinner so I missed the update
will try that once my phone finishes restarting
edit: that worked thanks

Does the date have to be permanently rolled back, or just for install?
Turn your date on your phone back to the 18th of February (yesterday). Should install fine then.
While I hate the virtual buttons for most kinds of games, this seems absolutely perfect to play turn based styled games on. That's cool as I've been really wanting to try out the Japan only GBA Fire Emblems. At least the little bit of force feedback they give you when you hit a button helps some.
Just to install you can set it back after the app opens. I believe if you have to restart your phone you'll have to do it again.
Just for the install (and the first launch it seems), after that, you can change the date again.

Unless I'm misinterpreting the OP, it seems like you can switch back the date once you install it.
Anyone know if it works on an old and crappy 4? I pretty much use that as an ipod and game machine because I have a 5 as my primary.

Cant seem to find the app in my itunes.. anyone know why?
You should see it on iTunes when you click on your phone. Then, click on apps, scroll to the bottom and you'll see it listed under file sharing.
And, FINALLY!
I've been waiting for 2.0 forever. Now, to transfer my saves.
iPhone apps are very, very sandboxed. Not much risk. They can't do any sort of intercommunication without an authorization or an intermediary like DropBox. Worst thing that could happen is the dev can get access to your dropbox if you allow it.

it says just for when you install it and first run it though you apparently also have to if you restart your phone

iPad mini is amazing for this. I can't believe how good GBA games can look...

It's coming in the first patch. The developer just forgot to take it out of test mode before releasing it.
Oh that's great news!

not downloading after i click button on site... this happening to anyone else?
Do I just download those pics and put them into the skins folder to use them?
Runs flawlessly on 5S so far.

Does this work with the official iOS7 controllers? (and by extension the ControllersForAll tweak that allows PS3 or PS4 controllers to be used?)
I bet. Feels like the iPhone is a little too small and the iPad is a little too big. The game window with the iPhone in portrait mode reminds me of my GBA Micro screen.

Works perfect on my iphone5, only tried one game but I'm pretty ecstatic with how easy it is to use.
Wouldn't the DS4 work since it's bluetooth?

If you click the links, they'll take you to GBA4iOSkins.com. You can pick through them there, and either download through your computer, or just do it straight from the device. Clicking download on your phone will prompt you to "Open in GBA4iOS?". They'll show up in the skin section after that.
Yes for iOS 7 controllers. As for ControllersForAll, I definitely remember reading something about it working, but can't verify 100%. I think it does.
You're remembering correctly. I don't think that works with this though, since you don't have access to the controls before the title screen is present. I tried with Donkey Kong '94, and couldn't get it to work anyway.
