The “GBA4iOS” app for iPhone allowed users to play Game Boy and Boy Boy Advance titles on their devices with little trouble. In fact, absolutely no jailbreaking was involved to get the thing working.
The emulator was available for several months, but has finally been taken down following a DMCA notice sent out by Nintendo.
On Twitter, the app’s creator wrote:
Well it's official, @NintendoAmerica has sent a DMCA Notice requesting http://t.co/2egsx0sRNS to be shut down.

OMOCAT has announced a 3DS stretch goal for its Kickstarter project “OMORI”. A portable version for Nintendo’s handheld is set at $180,000. With 22 days remaining, the campaign has raised a little over $68,000 thus far.
Here’s a brief overview of OMORI:
OMORI is a surreal psychological horror RPGmaker game. You must travel between two worlds, both welcoming, both concealing the same secrets. Meet new (old) people, fight new (old) enemies, explore your own memories, and uncover some hidden truths along the way (although you wish you hadn’t.) When the time comes, you can only choose one.
You can find OMORI’s Kickstarter page here.
Heart Forth, Alicia met its Kickstarter target awhile back, but the campaign has now reached its Wii U stretch goal. Having raised $200,000, the indie title will make its way to the eShop sometime in the future.
38 hours remain in the Heart Forth, Alicia Kickstarter campaign. Will the $245,000 3DS stretch goal be met before then?
You can check out the Kickstarter page here.
Tappingo developer Goodbye Galaxy Games has announced that it has received a publisher license from Nintendo. Going forward, the company will be in a position to publish its own games as well as titles from other indies. Goodbye Galaxy Games intends to focus on its own releases first, though other developers will be assisted in bringing out their 3DS eShop games as well.
