GBA 2026
Best GBA Games for Delta Emulator in 2026
Ten ranked picks across classic Pokemon runs and standout ROM hacks — every game on this list is ready to load in Delta right now.
Overview
The Game Boy Advance library is still one of the deepest catalogs available on Delta Emulator, and Pokemon's three generations of GBA titles remain the most-requested downloads on the platform. Rather than list every GBA game ever made, this ranking narrows things down to ten that are consistently well-rated, run flawlessly in Delta, and are worth your storage space in 2026.
The list mixes the original retail games with community ROM hacks, since hacks are where a lot of the GBA scene's best work has happened over the last decade — some of the entries below aren't "GBA games" in the strict sense, they're rebuilt versions of them with new maps, harder trainers, or expanded Pokedexes.
Every entry links to its own download page with full details, screenshots, and install steps for Delta on iPhone.
The Ranking
Good to Know
All ten ROMs and hacks above run natively in Delta with no extra setup — no BIOS file, no separate patching tools. If you're new to the emulator, start with our Delta install guide and how to add ROMs from the Files app.
Want a head start instead of grinding from scratch? Several of these games have matching save files on the site — the Pokemon Emerald 100% Completion Save and Pokemon FireRed 100% Completion Save are good places to look.
