This repo is not affiliated with official Riley's repository located on BitBucket here: https://bitbucket.org/rileytestut/gba4ios/
The purpose of this repository is to make cutting-edge (not stable, though) version with all modern features included and make it easy for people to check and to test every experiment around GBA4iOS.
Riley Testut and contributors in his repo do well making GBA4iOS better. I created this repo to try give them super-powers with modern tools and providing more responsive feedback on what they do. Additionally I promote great community iEmulators and BuildStore, the service I create and maintain together with great team for people who wants to dive into retro-gaming with no efforts and to make retro games recognizeable and popular.
