Support

Need help with Indigo? Email jake@jakehaas.com and I'll get back to you. It's quickest if you include your device and OS version and a short note on what you were doing when the problem happened.

You can also reach me at jake@jakehaas.com.

Where do I get games?

You supply them. Indigo does not include game files, sell them, or link to anywhere that has them — add your own through the Files app, AirDrop, or iTunes file sharing. Zipped files open directly, so there is no need to unpack them first. The app ships with one game of its own, Indigo Demo, so there is something to play straight away.

How do I restore Indigo Pro?

Open Settings and tap Unlock Indigo Pro, or reach for any Pro feature; the storefront that opens has Restore Purchase on it. Pro is a one-time purchase tied to your Apple Account, so it comes back on a new device once you restore. Playing, saving and loading never need it.

The link cable shows a room code and nothing happens.

That is the app waiting for a second player, and a link cable needs two machines. Share the code with a friend: they open Indigo, load the same game, choose Link Cable and enter it. The web player at jakehaas.com/gba/ can join with the same code, which makes it easy to test with a computer.

Do I need a BIOS file?

No. Indigo runs without one. If you have your own dump you can add it, but nothing requires it.

Can I move saves in from another emulator?

Yes — import a .sav and it arrives as a new save file rather than replacing anything. Save states are specific to this emulator and will not transfer.

A game that used a motion or light sensor is not responding.

Turn on Motion sensing under Cartridge Sensors in Settings; it is off by default because enabling it asks for motion access. The Sunlight slider in the same section drives the solar sensor that the Boktai games used.
