Hey guys its your boy needler here and this forum is all about how to get emulators and free ROMs through cydia.

 

  1. open your Cydia app and type in gameboy4iphone made by ZodTTD & MacCiti
  2. click on "install" in the top right corner of cydia and then "confirm"
  3. once it installs it should prompt you to return to cydia, click that and exit Cydia
  4. once you get back to the home screen, look for the app that looks like a gameboy color device and click on it
  5. a pop up should show saying no ROMs are found, do you want to find some, click search in the upper right
  6. heres where you need to pay attention, make sure to scroll down once your in safari and click on the link freeroms, it should be the second one after the search related header
  7. click on freeROMS.com and on the left hand corner are the list of free ROMS that they have
  8. click on the one you are looking for (note that if you have any other emulators other than the gameboy color one, you can also download them from this website)
  9. from there you can pick the ROMS from A-Z which would be easier or you can scroll through the massive list if you want
  10. once you have the one you want just click and hold and the "open" and "copy" menu should come up..click open and click download
  11. once it is downloaded you can go back to the browse menu in the app and you should see the version of your ROM with a .gbc filename attached to it. click on it and a menu asking you to choose the orientation and sound options appears...it appears that both portrait options wont show the actual screen so stick with landscape for now...ill keep you posted when they finally get it straightened out.

thanks guys for reading this tutorial and i will leave a description of other FREE emulators at the bottom here. if you have any other questions feel free to comment below and thanks a bunch
