Parlor Brings Game Boy and DS to Every Apple Screen
A native Apple emulator for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS games, with controller support, AirPlay play, cross-device saves and online link-cable play.
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.
