What's New in iGBA

2.13.0

September 14, 2026

Most of this update came from your reviews. Thank you for writing them. CHEATS • Codes the list offered and the emulator quietly threw away now work. Game Genie codes were reaching the core labelled as GameShark, and codes with a blank where a number goes are gone from the list. • Cheats that were "all over the place" were written for a different revision of the ROM. iGBA now reads your ROM's revision and warns you when the codes were made for another one. • When a code cannot be applied, it says so instead of showing a checkmark and doing nothing. CONTROLS • Buttons land exactly where you put them. The editor, the preview and the game finally agree. • Color, size, transparency and position, all on one page. • D-pad, d-pad with diagonals or joystick, each with a tester right below it. • 8 skins, a color per button, light and dark theme, and the d-pad takes color too. LINK CABLE • The link cable between two devices no longer freezes both players on the waiting screen, and it now runs at full speed. • Trading between two different games on one device no longer writes into the wrong part of the save. APPLE WATCH • Your library shows up, and you can play with the iPhone locked. • The Digital Crown can press A and B. ALSO • Back up saves, save states, settings and layouts to a single file. • Game volume apart from your phone's: turn the game music down, keep the sound effects, play your own. • GB Palette applies while you are playing, and the palette names no longer lie. • Pro is no longer lost when you have no signal. • 33 languages, up from 10.

提醒一下开发者

非常好的gba模拟器,希望能一直运营下去,但我发现每次加载游戏之前想让我看广告那里,只要在边上随便点一下就可以不用看了,不知道会不会影响开发者的收入

Response from developer

非常感谢你的五星评价和反馈!❤️ 其实广告对我的收入确实有一定影响,不过没关系。愿意通过观看广告来支持开发的人,我非常感谢;如果不想看也完全没关系,我也理解广告确实会让人觉得烦,而且这些广告带来的收入其实并不多。 谢谢你把这个问题反馈给我!这次我可能不会专门为这个问题发布修复版本,不过在下一个版本 2.13.0 中,我计划进一步减少一些比较烦人的广告,希望能让使用体验更好。 再次感谢你的支持!🙏

Awesome

Great emulator love it

アプデされてから

頻繁にクラッシュするんだけどなんだこれ

Response from developer

レビューありがとうございます。そして、不安定な状態でご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ありません。 こちらの計測でも、8月中旬の更新のあとクラッシュが増えているのが見えています。まだ元の水準には戻っていません。原因はまだ特定できておらず、Appleからは詳しいログが届かないため、「直しました」と言える段階ではありません。言えるようになったら必ずお伝えします。 もしよろしければ、この3点を教えていただけると、探す範囲がかなり絞れます。 ・どのゲームで起きるか ・起動直後か、プレイ中か ・iPhoneの機種 設定画面にDiscordへのリンクがあります。そこで直接やりとりできますし、サポート宛のメールでも構いません。必ず目を通します。 ご報告ありがとうございます。追いかけます。

期待能让手表适配手柄

GBA的文字冒险游戏不多,手表的玩动作游戏操作不方便,要是能让手表端支持手柄,那将是唯一爆款,毕竟,手机的话,可以玩更大型的模拟器

Response from developer

非常感谢你的五星评价和建议! 你提到的 Apple Watch 手柄支持确实是一个很有意思的想法,我会认真考虑,并把它作为未来版本的功能建议之一。 再次感谢你的支持!

Good, but the watch syncing needs work.

It’s a really good emulator but it lacks one thing, being able to play locally on the watch, whenever the phone is disconnected from the watch, you can’t access your games from the watch, so at that point it’s better to use your phone than the watch rendering the watch gameplay pointless. Oh yeah extra thing, you should add crown inputs for like a b buttons also for some reason the games disappear when disconnected to the phone

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the review! I’m actually working on that feature right now. My goal is to add the ability to play games directly on the Apple Watch, even when the iPhone is disconnected. I’m hoping to include it in the next update if everything goes as planned. Really appreciate the feedback and support!
