What is Provenance emulator?

Provenance is a multi-emulator frontend for iOS and tvOS, supporting various Atari, Bandai, NEC, Nintendo, Sega, SNK and Sony console systems. Main features include options to save states, adjust controller overlay opacity, play in portrait or landscape orientation.

All games are emulated at full speed, and you have multiple options for managing ROMs, Game Saves, and Cover Art. Download Provenance emulator ROMs directly from the mobile browser, import games from other mobile apps and AirDrop, copy via desktop app 3uTools, or the built-in webserver.

The console emulator for iOS and tvOS offers support for MFi Game Controller and iCade Controllers. Provenance emulator is packed with automatic ROM matching (Game Title, Cover Art, Description, Genre, etc.) via OpenVGDB and ROM customizations features.

From emulator settings, you can activate autosave feature, disable auto-lock, change controller opacity, show FPS count, adjust volume control, choose controller to use, vibrate on button press, automatically load last save game on lunch, use CTR filter, and more.

Download Provenance IPA

AltStore can activate max 3 apps on your iPhone using the free certificate. Every 7 days after installing apps, you need to resign apps and send them to the AltServer (running on PC or Mac), which installs the resigned apps back to your device using iTunes WiFi sync (works also using a USB cable).

Step 1. Download AltStore and install the app on your PC or Mac.

Or use any other Cydia Impactor alternative for Windows or macOS.

Step 2. Download Provenance.IPA version 1.4 or ProvenanceBeta.IPA version 1.5b on iPhone.
(ProvenanceTV.IPA version 1.4 or ProvenanceTVbeta.IPA version 1.5b for Apple TV).

Step 3. Lunch AltStore and navigate to "My Apps" section.

Step 4. Tap on the + button available form the left-right corner.

Step 5. Select downloaded Provenance.IPA file to install.

Step 6. AltStore will start installing Provenance Emulator for iOS.

Step 7. The Provenance app will be available from your home screen.

To prevent apps from expiring, AltStore can refresh apps in the background when using the same WiFi network as AltServer. The installed apps will be not revoked in the least expected moment thanks to manual installation using your free Apple certificate. Remember that your PC must be on to sing IPAs.
