Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

Parlor uses open-source emulation cores to run Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS files across four Apple device classes. Its cross-device layer stores battery saves, eight screenshot-backed save states and an automatic exit state in private iCloud storage, retaining a recovery copy when devices disagree. The homepage also describes link-cable sessions carried over Game Center, plus AirPlay play in which an iPhone becomes the television controller.
