    I usually update to get rid of the update taking up space on my device, even though they reduced it.

    I still have Floppy Cloud, but it would be nice to have an all in one that plays Genesis files since I can't get Provenance to work anymore

    So is it true that iexplorer won't work with iOS 8.3 at all or is it just the case with this app? If it doesn't work across the board then it means we can't add games to the gridlee app anymore as well.

    Still on 8.2 and was able to use iFunbox to put smc and smd files on the app. The snes games crashed the app the first time I tried to load them, but loaded up fine the second time I tried. The genesis game loaded fine. You can add a jpg of your game to the same directory with the same file name as the game and it will display in the app like the home brew games included.

    What?? I'm buying then!

    So can i put in my old save files? Are they compatible? And i don't need to worry about moving the date backwards like those other old rom apps right?


    Confirmed GBA games work? That's mainly what I'll be playing.

    hey guys, am i the only one here to use Diskaid??? has anyone tried if it works on iOS 8.3?

    imho it's the best of the bunch, and better if it's an older version (i'm on 5.48)

    Yeah', no moving date backwards, and old saves are compatible.. Just run it for the first time, and add your rom and battery save to the folder the game created after the first run..

    I have no idea how to look at that GBA4iOS version... As there are no Homebrew.app inside the file...
    Anyways, phantasy star.sms works fine!!

    Tried Super Robot Wars GBA. Works great! I'm going to see if my old saves work. It seems to save state as svs files.

    Some critiques. I can't figure out how to delete the standard games it comes with, it just puts them back in if I delete them. Also my big disappointment is that it doesn't have a portrait mode. For a bigger screen like iphone 6, portrait is perfect for GBA games. With landscape you have buttons covering the screen. Not a huge issue but older games don't have great resolution so they look better shrunk.

    try to load a Classic NES Series rom for GBA, any of them, if it works so it's a newer version than that included in Awesome Baby Names, which would be really awesome!
