GBA4IOS Help Questions

[Shadeslayer110]

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5 with the latest IOS 8 update installed. However, I heard of the GBA4IOS emulator that I would like to try out. However, if I try to install the latest version, it won't work. Also, the old one installs, but keeps crashing no matter what I do. My friend has an iPhone 6 and he has it and it works for him. Could someone please help me?

While it is installing (or before you start it) you have to set your date and time back to May 27th 2012 or before. Then one the app. After opening it for first time you can then change your date back to modern time and app will still work. You will need to change the date to 27th may 2012 every time you turn your device off or it runs out of battery.

Before installing, change the date back a few months. Then install and open the app. After opening the app you can set the date back to normal.

As jkarateking mentioned, you need to redo this trick everytime your device reboots or turns off.

I heard that Apple found out about the date trick and we cannot use it in IOS 8.0.2, which is what I have.

Apple kills the trick in iOS 8.1 which will be released this Monday. I am running 8.0.2 and the emulator works fine.

Alright thanks. So, either way I guess it is not worth getting it this late now. When the new version is coming out on Monday, and I like being up to date with the version of IOS.
