I'm going to show you how to play an Emulator on your iDevice.
This requires a Jailbroken device as well.
If you do not know how to jailbreak or have not jailbroken your device, I suggest you google or YouTube how to. But beware, some programs may be infected.
Requirements:
- A Computer
- A Jailbroken iDevice
Emulator Install Guide:
Assuming your prepared and have Cydia, we can begin.
Notice: In this tutorial, you will be getting a GBA (Gameboy Advance) Emulator.
1. Open up Cydia.
2. Click Manage (4th option on bottom bar)
3. Click sources
4. Click edit in the top right.
5. Click add in the top left.
6. Type this in: http://sinfuliphonerepo.com/
7. After that click done in the top right.
8. Now click on the newest source you've added.
There are plenty of nice things in this source, but lets stay on topic.
9. Scroll down to the G's and find GPSPhone.
10. Hit the install button on the top right.
After its done, you've gotten a Gameboy Advanced Emulator on your iDevice.
There are other Emulators you can get, but this is one of the popular ones.
ROM's Download Guide:
Now that you've got your Emulator, you need ROM's. And personally, I don't like the
provided downloader that comes with GPSPhone because it never works for me. So heres
how to get ROM's without using that.
1. Open up Cydia and go to 'Search'.
2. Type 'OpenSSH' or 'SSH' and you should come across OpenSSH.
3. Install that. Now go to your PC and download Cyberduck ( http://cyberduck.ch/ )
4. Once both applications are installed on your PC and Device, make sure that your Device is on during this process.
Now before we continue, insure that you have working ROM's.
These can be found by simple google searches, but I will list one that I like the most.

OR if you scroll below I have uploaded a Pokemon bundle with all the
available Pokemon games for the GBA and a few modded versions.
5. Open up Cyberduck.
6. On the top right hit 'Open Connection'.
7. Here is how it should be filled out;
Top drop down menu should say 'SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)'
In the 'server' box you want to enter your IP address or the IP address your device is connected to.
Leave the 'port' box alone.
Username: root
Password: Alpine
If you would like to change the password (because someone who is connected to your IP address can gain
access to your Device) you can find this by going into Cydia and clicking the User Guide 'OpenSSH Acess How-To'.
8. Now you should be seeing your iDevice's files. If not, and you are getting an error, be sure that your iDevice is on at the Home Screen.
9. Go up a level since your probably at private/var/root and find mobile. You can do this by clicking the Up arrow to the right of the file location.
So now you should be at 'private/var/mobile'. Now find Media, and scroll down to ROM's.
10. Now CLICK on the ROM's section. Make sure it is highlighted.
After that click the Upload button. Find your ROM's and upload them.
*Remember to keep your iDevice awake during this process.
