Edit: Apparently iDownloadBlog writers are idiots and said this was a GBA emulator when it's actually a GB/GBC emulator. Sigh. Sorry guys. It's still nice to have but sorry for the misinformation I got.

Edit 2: After playing it for a bit I wouldn't recommend it based on the fact that the Dpad is real hard to work with & there are no save states so if you exit out of the app you have to start from the beginning.

At any given time, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of apps floating around the App Store with built-in ROM emulators. These apps are disguised as calculators and sketch pads, but feature the hidden ability to play old-school games.

And everyone once in a while we find out the name of one of these apps, and how to activate its secret feature, before Apple has the chance to pull it. And that just so happens to be the case with this newly-posted app called Earthquake 7…

Simply type in ‘Earthquake 7′ into the search bar of the App Store on your iOS device, and locate the app by developer Kalana Jayatilake. It should have a pink icon, and in the description it claims to offer up ‘the latest earthquake news.'

Once you’ve downloaded the app, you’ll want to tap on the search bar, type in ‘gba activate 638,’ and initiate the search. Doing this will bring up a ‘Games’ menu, which should show all of the GBA ROMs you have installed on your device.
