4 Best Emulators For iPhone and IPad 2020 [Without Jailbreak]

Discover the 4 Best Emulators For iPhone and IPad without Jailbreak

If you are like me and you are already a few years old, you probably remember game consoles such as Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo or SNES. These are far from the great quality of graphics that we find in today's game consoles, but they made us spend great moments of fun that today we can remember on our iPhone or iPad thanks to the emulators.

It must be said that these game consoles still exist today, although some cost a lot to get them (one could almost say that they are a kind of relics). In addition, if we take into account that in our day to day what we use the most is the smartphone or the tablet, what better way than to have in them the possibility of playing the mythical titles of these consoles?

These types of applications usually need a device with Jailbreak, but today there are already some alternatives to enjoy them without having to jailbreak our iPhone or iPad, of which we bring you the best four that currently exist.

The best emulators for iOS

First of all, it must be said that these applications allow us to enjoy games of several game consoles, some older such as the Game Boy Color or the Super Nintendo, and others more recently such as the Sony PSP or the Nintendo DS.

PPSSPP

This is a PSP emulator that can be used on devices that have at least iOS 5 up to iOS 8.0.2. Once we have it installed we will have to put the games from iTunes, for which we will have to drag the ROMs from the computer to the application folder.

Provenance

Secondly, we have Provenance, an emulator of SNES, Sega Genesis, Master System, and Game Gear. Once downloaded and installed, it will appear as if it were another application of our device and unlike the previous one, it allows ROMs to be inserted directly from Safari. What do we need to make it work? An iPhone or iPad that has iOS 7 or a higher version, including iOS 8.1, the most recent.

GBA4ios

The most nostalgic will enjoy safely with this Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance emulator. Many of us, including myself, have grown up with these consoles and although it will not be the same to play on a touch screen, it will make us have great moments. GBA4ios offers the possibility to change the color of the interface, as well as the buttons and it must be said that it is compatible with iOS 6 and iOS 7 versions.

To put ROMs has a browser inside that allows you to search and add them directly from there. In this case, the installation is done in a somewhat different way. When we have downloaded GBA4ios we have to delay the date of our device one day in order to install it.

nds4ios

Last but not least, there are nds4ios, an emulator that allows you to use Nintendo 3D ROMs. The way to install it is the same as with GBA4ios, delaying the date one day, but from Applesencia they point out that this is not possible with iOS 8.1. Thus, nds4ios can be installed on iPhone and iPad with iOS 5 onwards, except for the latest version of the operating system released by those of Cupertino.

The emulators can be obtained from the iEmulators website, where we can also keep up to date with all the news that comes about them.
