A local-first GBA emulator for iPhone

GBAEmu is a local-first Game Boy Advance emulator for iPhone. Import your own legally ownedgba files, organize them in a clean local library, play with touch controls, use save states, add cheat codes, and resume from where you left off.
How does the save state feature handle different emulator versions, and will my saves carry over if you push updates that change the core?
Love that this stays local and respects the whole "bring your own ROMs" thing. One feature I'd kill for is controller support through mapped touch zones, like letting me draw my own custom button layout per game since the default GBA layout gets cramped on newer iPhones. Could really set it apart from other emulators.
finally an emulator that doesnt bury you in ads or force a login. the resume feature picked up right where i left off and touch controls felt surprisingly responsive on my phone
The touch controls actually feel responsive for a GBA emulator on a phone, and the save state system works instantly without fuss. Nice to see a local-first approach that skips the usual cloud sign-in dance.
