Game Boy Advance

Provenance includes a full Game Boy Advance emulator for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. The GBA had an outstanding lineup of games — Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow — and Provenance lets you play the entire library on your Apple device.

Available free on the App Store with no jailbreak required, Provenance is one of the most capable GBA emulators available for iOS.
