Sameboy for iOS

Find the app on the App Store.

It's somewhat annoying that Sameboy for iOS works quite differently:

  • It generates a real-time savestate. (.auto)
  • It defaults to the savestate of the last played game when launched, and that may even affect the .sav immediately.
    • Whenever you modify a .gbc or .sav outside the app, you must delete the .autos before launching it.
  • It uses a per-game directory structure like this:
Sameboy/
├── game1/
│  ├── game1.gbc
│  ├── game1.sav
│  ├── game1.auto (savestate)
│  └── game1.auto (savestate screenshot)
├── game2/
│  ├── game2.gbc
│  ├── game2.sav
│  ├── game2.auto (savestate)
│  └── game2.auto (savestate screenshot)
…
