iGBA runs your own .gba, .gbc and .gb files on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. No account, no cloud, nothing to sign up for: copy a file in and play. I build iGBA on my own, and most of what is in it came from people writing reviews and telling me what was broken. SUPPORTED SYSTEMS - Game Boy - Game Boy Color - Game Boy Advance WHAT YOU GET - Built for iPhone Duo: it uses the whole unfolded display and keeps playing when you fold it. - Save states anywhere, alongside the game's own save. - Rewind when you fall in the pit, and turbo up to 3x for the grinding. - Cheats: thousands of codes built in, or paste your own. GameShark, Game Genie, Code Breaker and Action Replay formats. - Link cable between two devices over the network, or between two different games on the same one. - On-screen buttons you can move, resize, recolor and hide. 8 skins, a color per button, light and dark theme. - Pick a d-pad, a d-pad with diagonals, or a joystick, and try it before you play. - MFi and Bluetooth controllers, and a keyboard on iPad. - Game volume apart from your phone's, so you can put your own music over it. - Screen filters, frame skip, full screen, and color palettes for monochrome games. - Apple Watch: your library on your wrist and the Digital Crown as buttons. - Back up saves, save states, settings and layouts to a single file. - Play time, favourites, filters and file info in the library. - Works offline. Your game files stay on your device and are never uploaded. - 33 languages. ADS AND PRO iGBA is free, and the ads are what pay for it, so it can stay free for the people who cannot pay. Pro turns them off for good. If you would rather not pay, watching an ad now and then helps just as much. iGBA is not affiliated with Nintendo in any way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iGBA at 4.4 against Handy FunScript Creator/Player's 1.0. iGBA also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Handy FunScript Creator/Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
