For a few months now, an app called GBA4iOS has allowed iPhone users to take advantage of a system loophole in order to play Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games without jailbreaking their phones.

You can no longer download GBA4iOS—which was hosted on the software database Github until yesterday afternoon—but if you've already got the app, Testut says it'll continue working.
