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.
But if you didnāt get the app before yesterday, you might be out of luckāNintendo has filed a takedown notice, according to Riley Testut, the high-school student who created the emulator.
Well it's official, @NintendoAmerica has sent a DMCA Notice requesting http://t.co/2egsx0sRNS to be shut down.

You can no longer download GBA4iOSāwhich was hosted on the software database Github until yesterday afternoonābut if youāve already got the app, Testut says itāll continue working.
GBA4iOS will continue to function normally on your device, but new downloads will temporarily be suspended.
