On iOS? Turn this page into an app!
On iOS, you can share this page to your homescreen. This will give you an app icon to easily play your gba games, without actually installing an app.
Finding more games
There are two main ways people get games. They can dump the contents of a cartridge they own, or they can look for homebrew games that are offered digitally.
Dumping a cartridge rom can be quite complicated, so we'll leave that to Google. Fortunately finding homebrew roms is quite easy. On almost any site where you can find indie games, you can also find homebrew for classic systems. We happen to like itch.io. If you search for "gba", you'll find a variety of games, some completely free or some with a free demo available.
