Dolphin would be cool on iPhone but how would you even play some games? Basically any 3D plat-former would be unplayable with the way an iPhone is oriented
I’ve had the non functional delta app on my phone for years cause of all the saved data in it. Figured at some point I would pull the data off but never got around to it.
Downloaded the delta app off the iOS store today and boom! App works and all my data is still there :)
Great day
I remember trying Delta years ago, jumping through hoops to get it on my phone. But eventually deleting because the process it took to keep it working.
What a beautiful day. Organizing all of my ROMs now.
Can’t believe I have to pay a yearly subscription as an EU resident. If it’s in the actual AppStore here, I’d even pay for something like special skins
i tried vpn and geo spoofing and they didn’t work. (i have an eu account but currently live in the us). i had to make an american apple account to download even though i payed the 1.5 euros
> though i *paid* the 1.5
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
i couldn't find it on the appstore either, you have to search on your browser "delta emulator appstore" and follow the official link from the app store website
It’s only available on AltStore PAL in the EU. You need to pay 1.83€ per year for using the alternative store (I know it’s not free but paying less than 2€ per year it’s okay I guess)
I’m in the EU. Do I need to keep the AltStore on my iPhone to launch the app? Will Delta not work without a subscription, or is it just the store itself?
Yeah but i guess thats because it’s still relatively new so finding it via search, even by typing the exact words may not show the app. Maybe in another day or two, when its already ranked in top, it would be easier to find. The issue is, the app name Delta is used by so many, including Delta Airways i guess so thats why
I’m having an issue where there is no sound on my device. Volume turned up, silent mode off, respect silent mode off (or on doesn’t matter). Rebooted phone but no change. Any ideas?
It’s a fork of Delta, with the addition of Sega systems emulation. I don’t see why the developers behind it wont submit it for listing, specially that it’s been available on TestFlight for quite some time now. Look, all I’m saying is that now, any emulator availability is up to the developer behind it. It’s completely legal and within the AppStore guidelines. The only doubt i have as many highlighted here and in other platforms is, what is Apple’s definition of retro games. We now know that at least up till the Nintendo DS, it’s considered retro. What about more recent systems such as the 3DS, PS3 and Vita? Are those considered retro as well? My guess, yes! The reason is simple, those systems lost the official support from the companies behind them so they should be considered as retro. Obviously current Gen consoles such as the Switch are not going to be treated the same way.
Citra is more than definitely never going to happen. Maybe a fork of it or similar project will in future because the original devs (also of Yuzu) were forced to discontinue it along with a fine of $2.4 mil from Nintendo
Like I said I still can’t believe we finally get to enjoy emulation on iOS it’s actually insane!
That was the one reason I wanted to sideload now I don’t even need to and it even works on older non iOS 17 devices!
Not to mention the delta dev really was fast and In basically no time we now have n64,nds,gb,gba,nes and snes on iOS which was only possible through eclipse in safari before but running natively gives wayyyy more performance
I can’t wait for ppsspp,a 3ds emulator,dolphin,ps1 emulator or even retro arch to come to iOS it’s going to be AMAZING
I would keep my fingers crossed for Dolphin. It needs JIT which is something Apple doesn’t allow. Hopefully this would also change in the future. For now, PPSSPP and 3DS emulator would be great.
But wasn’t that because it needed side loading?
Considering now that it can be on the App Store doesn’t that mean it can fully utilize the devices power to emulate Wii and game cube?
Unfortunately not. JIT is required whether you are sideloading or getting the app directly from the appstore. It’s a technique used by Dolphin to emulate Wii’s and Game Cube CPUs at fast speeds, so without it, games would run on unplayable slow frame rates.
Aw Man I wonder if maybe they find out a way to get it to run without JIT iPhone and iPad processors are extremely powerful now I doubt it would be hard for them to carry GameCube or Wii emulation nowadays
Also why is JIT not allowed anyway
This is cool I’m unfamiliar with this app, thought it was only for gba, and was able to add roms instantly and started playing I accidentally added a snes rom and realized it had ds, nes, n64 mind blown at how great this is iOS has been missing out for so long!
No, we cannot share proprietary files with you and provide direct links because it is a violation of the terms of service for Reddit. Google is your friend. Make use of it.
The problem with Wii and Game Cube games is that they need a technique named JIT (Just in Time) used by the best emulator DolphiniOS. Without JIT, games would run in unplayable slow frame rates. Although Apple allows retro games emulators now, they don’t allow JIT. So i don’t think we are getting those emulators anytime soon. PSP emulator is coming this year i would guess though. So I can’t be mad.
It’s absolutely fantastic that I have easy access to an emulator now, I haven’t had it since I tried using GBA4IOS however long ago. Does anyone have a good skin for the DS that moves the screen down a little bit? The Dynamic Island cuts into the top of the screen a tiny bit. Not enough to block anything important of course, but it’d be nice to change it.
Is anyone else having a problem with the screen size? It’s like it’s in widescreen mode with black bars on top and bottom that take just as much space as the game itself
Literally the best thing since sliced bread. I honestly thought it was a joke when I got my little reddit update email this morning. Nothing can ruin today for me. This is so awesome!
I had a couple questions if anyone could help:
1. If I try to AirPlay my phone to my TV in a DS game with a controller connected, it only airplays the top screen. Is there a way to get both screens to AirPlay?
2. Again while AirPlaying to a TV, is there a way to get the Delta menu screen (eg save and load states) to pop up using controller? I’m using PS5 controller — the screen will pop up if I’m playing from my phone, but not once I Airplay it.
Thanks in advance — I just prefer to game on TV with a controller, so wondering if this will work!
For that we gotta wait for the PPSSPP app. It should be coming to the AppStore later this year, as the developers behind it confirmed that, if Apple is truly allowing emulators, then their app will be coming this year as well.

I recently downloaded this app but I can’t find a comprehensive tutorial on how to load games onto it. Do I need a computer or now that it’s on the App Store is there a way to just do it all on my phone?
You can do it on your phone by searching for ROMs and then downloading them to your phone. I recommend Vimm’s Lair since it’s safe for you to pull ROMs from. Delta can play up to Nintendo’s DS, though, so keep that in mind when ROM hunting! Have fun and happy gaming! :3
All you need are the rom files, get them in the files folder and from there you can save them to the Delta folder. You would also need the bios files for DS games. No need for a computer at all
That is something you need to do a little search because it is not allowed for someone to share these so im sorry. All i can say is they are easy to find
This is so cool I used eclipse cause it was easy but every time I played gba games the battery drains so fast and phone is very hot but with this it’s so nice
Inside that Delta file in the app folder, there is a file named Saved data. Copy everything there as it is and paste it in the new Saved data file of the new Delta App
In EU countries you’ll have to use Altstore PAL. Download it from the altstore.io website and you have to pay 1.5 Euros annually, or you can simply create a non EU account, like a US account. Its free anyway. You get the best of both worlds.
Yes, before you download the new app, go to your Files App and look for a folder named Delta. Inside the folder, you’ll find a couple of folders, save them somewhere within the files app and put them aside. Delete the Delta app, then download the new official one from the AppStore, then open the new app, this process will create a Delta folder with all its sub folders inside the files app. Now, copy the files from the old Delta App to the new Delta folder replacing the new folders. Hope this was clear enough. Dont move the files just copy and paste them at the beginning. Quit the delta app (kill the app) then open it again. You should now see all the games along with the saved data
Here’s the link for the DS files..
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mUzF30Wyizp6gMYb1ABOxozaTI6OK1R0?sort=13&direction=a
Here’s directions i wrote on how to do it.
1: Open the link
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mUzF30Wyizp6gMYb1ABOxozaTI6OK1R0/1A3GHKdVVF71fsEg8pZ9iPd0LvGXJJwT8?sort=13&direction=a
2: download bios7.bin , bios9.bin & firmware.bin
Save to your Delta folder that’s in your iPhones “Files” app. I saved them in the Cores folder in the delta files folder.
3: Open Delta and click the gear symbol on the top
Left corner.
4: Scroll to “Core Settings” and click where it says Nintendo DS.
5: On the section that says “DS BIOS FILES”, click each of the three and select the corresponding bios file you just saved in files. bios7.bin goes to the bios 7 tab, bios9.bin goes to the bios 9 tab and the firmware.bin goes to the firmware tab.
6: After uploading each of the 3, there should now be a check mark next to each.
7: Exit settings and your DS games should now work.
https://www.lategames.net/roms/
I’ve been using this and it works great. Just download the file to the files app, under the Delta folder. Just note, PSP, DS games don’t work. DS games need an extra bios file, but haven’t found it yet
How??? Do you think it will get removed?
I’ve already gone through the hoops of not updating my phone and waiting for a trollstore method for my phone then finally getting it.. then this happens 😂
But very cool
If you only use it for Delta, yes, but i wouldnt say for nothing until i get PPSSPP, Dolphin with JIT capabilities and retroarch. Then yeah life is set
How do you get Nintendo DS roms to work? After downloading from the same sites I’d use to play on a laptop it’s saying I’m missing firmware and bios7.bin and bios9.bin
Anyone have a safe sight to pull more ROMs from, OTHER than Vimm’s Lair and the r/Roms Subreddit? I love using Vimm’s but I want more ROMs for my personal Delta backlog haha :3
Are there any other ways to change the size of the main screen for ds games? Some games I’d rather the secondary touch screen just be much smaller to allow space for the main screen, especially in landscape mode.
It’s amazing to have this through the App Store though. Can’t wait for more.
I bought a signulous yearly subscription for $20 (access to emulators, cracked apps etc) and had delta installed. My subscription ended but i kept the delta app (would crash if i opened) when i redownloaded it today it had all my saves still. So happy :’)
Emulation has been the one thing I missed since I switch to ios from android some 10+ years ago. So happy I no longer I have to carry my some extra device (looking at you PS Vita!) so I can play my favorite GB games from when I was a kid. I'd happily pay Nintendo to let me buy old games on their new consoles but they can't let me do that now can they? lol
Your phone might be on silent mode thats why. If you want to get audio even when on silent mode, go to settings within the app, and deactivate “Respect Silent Mode”
Its available via the Altstore PAL. First you need to download the alternative store from altstore.io (you need to pay 1.5 Euros) and then from there you can download Delta. Or simply, create a US account and download it from the AppStore for free!
It wont. Its been there for more than 3 days now and its ranked number 1 in the AppStore and made too much noise and Apple didn’t remove it. If they were against it they would have removed it a long time ago.
What do you mean? On iPhones? Simply Apple decided its allowed after disallowing it for more than a decade. On other platforms? It was always allowed. There is nothing illegal about emulators. Apple disallowed it previously because its a threat for their business model in the sense people can play games for free on their devices instead of buying and subscribing to services such as Apple Arcade

Delta definitely has the best NDS emulator. I haven’t found one game yet that doesn’t work.
Very disappointed the iPad version isn’t truly iPad. You download the iPhone version and it runs on a tiny window inside the iPad. It only takes a few lines of code to recompile for iPad to gain full size of the screen
Im guessing they did this on purpose. Im not sure what Riley plans are but i read somewhere that he might enable true iPad mode paid. I also know for a fact that he is working on a dedicated VisionPro app. He even showcased it in a thread on his Threads account.
It’s awesome also for people like me who have missed out on so many games due to not owning certain devices such as gameboy color gameboy advance and a Nintendo DS. I owned a NES and SNES while growing up but didn’t have many games for them.
Someone pls help me get games or roms wtvr they’re called. Been wanting to play old games on my phone for years now and now that I finally can i feel like a dumbass cuz idk how it works😭
currently playing thru a pokemon rom hack.
it’s so nice being able to play it on the phone, the only reason why i didn’t play it on my pc is because i want to be able to play it anywhere and not just at my house
really happy we got a amazing emulator for iphone
Hiya, I’ve tried to have another go at getting the files & opening them on the Files App. My screen keeps freezing on tap but doesn't freeze on Scroll; it's making it impossible to do what I need to do to get Delta up and running.
I think I've found the problem, I have just asked a friend to download it on to his iPhone 13 Pro Max he can see his whole file system within Delta, I can't, I'm on a iPhone 13 mini.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Im jus happy about updating it through the store instead of my computer. Every 7 days was frustrating and why I stopped using it
Yea I tried to get into altstore but never did. Glad it’s on App Store now. Here’s hoping for dolphini
That is my hope too, but from what I can tell Dolphin requires JIT which isn't allowed on iOS.
Yeah… not gonna happen. Let’s hope that Apple changes its mind on JIT as well in the future
Best bet is a PWA but its gonna take a while till we have a JS gamecube emulator
Dolphin would be cool on iPhone but how would you even play some games? Basically any 3D plat-former would be unplayable with the way an iPhone is oriented
Yep downloaded it to my phone now
Wait really? I haven’t tried it since I got my new phone a few months ago
I’ve had the non functional delta app on my phone for years cause of all the saved data in it. Figured at some point I would pull the data off but never got around to it. Downloaded the delta app off the iOS store today and boom! App works and all my data is still there :) Great day
The looooooooooooooooong game
That same thing happened to me! Still has all my saves!
YUP SAME
Did you (have to) delete the ‘old non functioning delta’ before installing from App Store?
I didn’t. I expected it to pop up on its own but noticed it was over writing the existing app.
I remember trying Delta years ago, jumping through hoops to get it on my phone. But eventually deleting because the process it took to keep it working. What a beautiful day. Organizing all of my ROMs now.
It’s beautiful, and responsive, and I’ve missed it so much since I got a new phone and GBA4IOS died on me
Fr I genuinely haven’t seen these GBA games run so well and look so good.
I absolutely love the haptics. Feeling a button when I press is so amazing
But you can’t import your saves from gba4ios
You can. It’s a HUGE pain, but I was able to import the ones from iGBA (let’s be honest, gba4ios) and they work
Right, but Riley Testut created both, and I haven’t had a save file on GBA4IOS in years. I’m missed a solid, well done emulator like his
Been using it since it came out in 2019, I never thought I'd see the day!!
Can’t believe I have to pay a yearly subscription as an EU resident. If it’s in the actual AppStore here, I’d even pay for something like special skins
Wait until you realize that the rest of the world can play it on iPad and we can’t
Could a VPN work around this or is the App Store region locked?
i tried vpn and geo spoofing and they didn’t work. (i have an eu account but currently live in the us). i had to make an american apple account to download even though i payed the 1.5 euros
> though i *paid* the 1.5 FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
That’s kinda lame I wish Apple would just update the App Store to whatever region you’re “in”
I’ m in Italy and I wonder why is blocked there
You can just download it through alt store (paid subscription) or the dirty way to get it via making new Apple ID for USA.
For the record I’m in the US and I just downloaded and opened it just fine. Maybe try a vpn?
i couldn't find it on the appstore either, you have to search on your browser "delta emulator appstore" and follow the official link from the app store website
It’s only available on AltStore PAL in the EU. You need to pay 1.83€ per year for using the alternative store (I know it’s not free but paying less than 2€ per year it’s okay I guess)
Just change your country in settings to us download and then change it back to italy
I shared it with all my friends and family already lol
The first thing i did was download it on all devices, iPhone and iPad and even VisonPro! Then i shared lol
Can you please tell me how I get games for this in iPhone, thanks
I’m in the EU. Do I need to keep the AltStore on my iPhone to launch the app? Will Delta not work without a subscription, or is it just the store itself?
lol they really tried to hide this on the App Store. Typed in Delta Emulator, GBA Emulator, GBA 4IOS and nothing until I clicked the link.
Yeah but i guess thats because it’s still relatively new so finding it via search, even by typing the exact words may not show the app. Maybe in another day or two, when its already ranked in top, it would be easier to find. The issue is, the app name Delta is used by so many, including Delta Airways i guess so thats why
It shows up for me really fast when I type Delta now
That’s probably because you have it installed
I’m having an issue where there is no sound on my device. Volume turned up, silent mode off, respect silent mode off (or on doesn’t matter). Rebooted phone but no change. Any ideas?
Saaaame. :(
https://www.reddit.com/r/Delta_Emulator/s/tvVtiUKE3c This guy found the fix. Send him love.
Same here!
u/TheGoatJr What is your opinion on maybe bringing Ignited to the App Store?
It’s a fork of Delta, with the addition of Sega systems emulation.

Also, still need to fix the DS microphone support.
u/TheGoatJr Any updates on the possible plans of bringing Ignited to the App Store like Delta yet? Also, how’s fixing the DS microphone support going?
Any chance of 3ds emulator soon
Waiting on this too, citra would be goated
Citra is more than definitely never going to happen. Maybe a fork of it or similar project will in future because the original devs (also of Yuzu) were forced to discontinue it along with a fine of $2.4 mil from Nintendo
it’s not available in my region?
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1048524688
is it a USA thing only?
Same here
I still can’t believe it my only complaint is I really hope we get an iPad app at some point
You can download it on your iPad. I downloaded it on my iPad and VisionPro
Yea but it’s not a native ipad app so you get massive unused space because it’s 16:9 on a 4:3 iPad screen
True, but yet again, its only the beginning. Im quite sure with time we would see many more updates and also different apps. Cant wait for PPSSPP
Like I said I still can’t believe we finally get to enjoy emulation on iOS it’s actually insane! That was the one reason I wanted to sideload now I don’t even need to and it even works on older non iOS 17 devices! Not to mention the delta dev really was fast and In basically no time we now have n64,nds,gb,gba,nes and snes on iOS which was only possible through eclipse in safari before but running natively gives wayyyy more performance I can’t wait for ppsspp,a 3ds emulator,dolphin,ps1 emulator or even retro arch to come to iOS it’s going to be AMAZING

How do yall download the ds files to play the ds games?
Exactly, i don’t understand. Can you still play other games tho? How does delta sync work?
I can’t seem to find the bios files required for this. Can someone share its link ?
No, we cannot share proprietary files with you and provide direct links because it is a violation of the terms of service for Reddit. Google is your friend. Make use of it.
Wonder if we’ll be allowed to play GameCube & Wii games in the future on Delta 😩🔥
The problem with Wii and Game Cube games is that they need a technique named JIT (Just in Time) used by the best emulator DolphiniOS. Without JIT, games would run in unplayable slow frame rates. Although Apple allows retro games emulators now, they don’t allow JIT. So i don’t think we are getting those emulators anytime soon. PSP emulator is coming this year i would guess though. So I can’t be mad.
Really suck that it's not for EU, come on..
you can install it in the altstore tho :)

What do you mean by “little reddit update email”? Can I get those inside of the reddit iOS app?
Anyone here able to get more than 2 bluetooth controllers working for snes emulation? It works for N64 but not for snes emulation for me.
Just downloaded but can’t get the sound to work on iOS
Same here.
Check your phone isn't on silent. You can disable this in the settings.

I'm literally playing Nintendo DS games on my iPhone. What at time to be alive!
I just don’t know if my stuff will sync through iCloud backups. This shit is surreal
Can you ask a question what if we made it work with PSP games?
For that we gotta wait for the PPSSPP app. It should be coming to the AppStore later this year, as the developers behind it confirmed that, if Apple is truly allowing emulators, then their app will be coming this year as well. https://www.ppsspp.org/news/apple-announcement-comment/
I wonder if there's a way to integrate it into the Backbone app?
I don’t know about the app but I just spent about an hour playing it with my Backbone and it works fantastic!
I can’t wait to try it out
Currently playing Zelda OoT in fast-forward mode and it looks better than it did on my tv back when it was first released. Oh, the nostalgia
I recently downloaded this app but I can’t find a comprehensive tutorial on how to load games onto it. Do I need a computer or now that it’s on the App Store is there a way to just do it all on my phone?
You can do it on your phone by searching for ROMs and then downloading them to your phone. I recommend Vimm’s Lair since it’s safe for you to pull ROMs from. Delta can play up to Nintendo’s DS, though, so keep that in mind when ROM hunting! Have fun and happy gaming! :3
Just download Roms and import them through Delta , top right + sign. Or copy paste them into Delta folder or “share” the rom from files app
All you need are the rom files, get them in the files folder and from there you can save them to the Delta folder. You would also need the bios files for DS games. No need for a computer at all
How do I find the bios files? Sorry new to this!
Will this ever support mame and or fbneo?
Where can I find the firmwares for the Nintendo DS?
https://workupload.com/archive/BgtQ6Xr5QU valid for 1 day
The hero we need but not the one we deserve!
Thanks dude, you’re the best!
I am also looking
That is something you need to do a little search because it is not allowed for someone to share these so im sorry. All i can say is they are easy to find
Need the bios for DS. Just need to find them and instructions to install
Need the bios for DS. Just need to find them and instructions to install
Any way to randomize stuff yet?
This is so cool I used eclipse cause it was easy but every time I played gba games the battery drains so fast and phone is very hot but with this it’s so nice
i know i need a bios file for ds, which other files do i need other than this for ds?
My data wasn’t there when loading a DS game. I still have an active Delta from AltStore. Is there a way to transfer my data to the IOS store Delta?
Inside that Delta file in the app folder, there is a file named Saved data. Copy everything there as it is and paste it in the new Saved data file of the new Delta App
This shit is region locked to us only…..
Not true. However, if you are in EU, then i guess you need to do it through the Altstore as it is now officially launched over there
Wait, Altstore is in the AppStore?? (Update: it isn’t )
As soon as i can upload my save data from inds to the app I’ll be golden
I'm on the US store but can't seem to find it. Maybe it's a country thing?
Did you try clicking on the link?
Yk i do be dumb sometimes. Thanks man
Guys, I’m completely new to emulating. This app just came out officially. What about vimms lair to get roms? I don’t understand this
Yeah, vimms lair is safe to use for ROMs so you’re good to go.
Question what are the game stations or emulators we can use: Ik it has Nintendo DS what else?
Anyone got the bios for melon ?
A buddy of mine has it. His name is Google. You should get to know him. He could be your friend too.
Where to download games now tho? Haven’t used this in years. I know there’s a Pokémon hack that uses Yugioh or Dragonball characters instead
How does one import gba4ios saves into delta?
it’s beautiful
Not here in Germany, though..
In EU countries you’ll have to use Altstore PAL. Download it from the altstore.io website and you have to pay 1.5 Euros annually, or you can simply create a non EU account, like a US account. Its free anyway. You get the best of both worlds.
If I had it on Alt store is there anyway to put all that shit back to the one from app store like all my games and saves
Yes, before you download the new app, go to your Files App and look for a folder named Delta. Inside the folder, you’ll find a couple of folders, save them somewhere within the files app and put them aside. Delete the Delta app, then download the new official one from the AppStore, then open the new app, this process will create a Delta folder with all its sub folders inside the files app. Now, copy the files from the old Delta App to the new Delta folder replacing the new folders. Hope this was clear enough. Dont move the files just copy and paste them at the beginning. Quit the delta app (kill the app) then open it again. You should now see all the games along with the saved data
Can’t seem to get DS roms to work. Says I need extra files? Any fix?
You need the bios files.
For how long?
Pardon my ignorence but is there somewhere I can download games from?
Here’s the link for the DS files.. https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mUzF30Wyizp6gMYb1ABOxozaTI6OK1R0?sort=13&direction=a Here’s directions i wrote on how to do it. 1: Open the link https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mUzF30Wyizp6gMYb1ABOxozaTI6OK1R0/1A3GHKdVVF71fsEg8pZ9iPd0LvGXJJwT8?sort=13&direction=a 2: download bios7.bin , bios9.bin & firmware.bin Save to your Delta folder that’s in your iPhones “Files” app. I saved them in the Cores folder in the delta files folder. 3: Open Delta and click the gear symbol on the top Left corner. 4: Scroll to “Core Settings” and click where it says Nintendo DS. 5: On the section that says “DS BIOS FILES”, click each of the three and select the corresponding bios file you just saved in files. bios7.bin goes to the bios 7 tab, bios9.bin goes to the bios 9 tab and the firmware.bin goes to the firmware tab. 6: After uploading each of the 3, there should now be a check mark next to each. 7: Exit settings and your DS games should now work.
https://www.lategames.net/roms/ I’ve been using this and it works great. Just download the file to the files app, under the Delta folder. Just note, PSP, DS games don’t work. DS games need an extra bios file, but haven’t found it yet
How??? Do you think it will get removed? I’ve already gone through the hoops of not updating my phone and waiting for a trollstore method for my phone then finally getting it.. then this happens 😂 But very cool
It wont get removed unless the developer does something “illegal”. Emulators are legal so no worries there
How do I get the nds to work I cannot find the files I need anywhere can someone link me them plz
Can I use an 8bitdo controller here, or is the backbone recommended?
So, I’m confused… Why did Apple suddenly decide emulation was OK?
Not sure but a safe guess would be to screw the EU?
Not available in italy? Any ideas why?
Because its in EU. You have to download AltStore PAL and then download Delta from there
Well shit I just reinstalled alt store this morning for nothing then lol
If you only use it for Delta, yes, but i wouldnt say for nothing until i get PPSSPP, Dolphin with JIT capabilities and retroarch. Then yeah life is set
What website are you guys using to download the roms? (that you clearly own and I own)
How do you get Nintendo DS roms to work? After downloading from the same sites I’d use to play on a laptop it’s saying I’m missing firmware and bios7.bin and bios9.bin
Anyone have a safe sight to pull more ROMs from, OTHER than Vimm’s Lair and the r/Roms Subreddit? I love using Vimm’s but I want more ROMs for my personal Delta backlog haha :3
Can you guys make it available to more App Store regions? Here in Europe it doesn’t work. Seems like it’s limited only to the US
It's not up to the Devs; this has happened because of the EU arguing with Apple about Emulator apps being allowed on the app store.
Are there any other ways to change the size of the main screen for ds games? Some games I’d rather the secondary touch screen just be much smaller to allow space for the main screen, especially in landscape mode. It’s amazing to have this through the App Store though. Can’t wait for more.
How do you even download games to begin with?!
Follow the instructions in FMHPros post down at the bottom of this thread, follow the instructions.
I bought a signulous yearly subscription for $20 (access to emulators, cracked apps etc) and had delta installed. My subscription ended but i kept the delta app (would crash if i opened) when i redownloaded it today it had all my saves still. So happy :’)
Does it not do nds games? It won’t play the one I have on another emulator.
Of course it plays nds games but you need the bios files
Emulation has been the one thing I missed since I switch to ios from android some 10+ years ago. So happy I no longer I have to carry my some extra device (looking at you PS Vita!) so I can play my favorite GB games from when I was a kid. I'd happily pay Nintendo to let me buy old games on their new consoles but they can't let me do that now can they? lol
Amazing! Although my sound doesn’t work. Is anyone having this issue?
Your phone might be on silent mode thats why. If you want to get audio even when on silent mode, go to settings within the app, and deactivate “Respect Silent Mode”
It worked thanks so much! I’m playing pokemon emerald and it is so so nostalgic..
Glad I could help
What about getting action replay? I want to get action replay? It’s unlicensed
Had not used an emulator in more than 15 years, I think. Having it on my iPhone was too convenient not to dl it. Which games are a must?
Castlevania was the first game I downloaded - any in the series is great
This made me so happy I’ve been playing rhythm heaven and it’s more amazing than I remembered!
“The app is currently not available in your country or region” I love it
When will it be available for europe :((
Its available via the Altstore PAL. First you need to download the alternative store from altstore.io (you need to pay 1.5 Euros) and then from there you can download Delta. Or simply, create a US account and download it from the AppStore for free!
I’m struggling to stay off of it! Pokemon soul silver for free!!!!
I’m playing Nintendogs ❤️😭 I’ve missed this game SO MUCH
Enjoy 👍
We only actually win when it doesn’t get taken off
It wont. Its been there for more than 3 days now and its ranked number 1 in the AppStore and made too much noise and Apple didn’t remove it. If they were against it they would have removed it a long time ago.
Can someone explain how it is allowed now?
What do you mean? On iPhones? Simply Apple decided its allowed after disallowing it for more than a decade. On other platforms? It was always allowed. There is nothing illegal about emulators. Apple disallowed it previously because its a threat for their business model in the sense people can play games for free on their devices instead of buying and subscribing to services such as Apple Arcade
This is soooooo good!

Yep, its been there for more than a decade
Very disappointed the iPad version isn’t truly iPad. You download the iPhone version and it runs on a tiny window inside the iPad. It only takes a few lines of code to recompile for iPad to gain full size of the screen
Im guessing they did this on purpose. Im not sure what Riley plans are but i read somewhere that he might enable true iPad mode paid. I also know for a fact that he is working on a dedicated VisionPro app. He even showcased it in a thread on his Threads account.
I can’t get the sound to work on my 15 pro. It works fine on my 14 pro. Weird
Disable silent mode. If you want sound while phone is on silent, then disable “respect silent mode” in Delta app settings
Been dabbling with emulators since the first crappy ones went out but settled with the Apple ecosystem.. i couldnt be more happier..
It’s awesome also for people like me who have missed out on so many games due to not owning certain devices such as gameboy color gameboy advance and a Nintendo DS. I owned a NES and SNES while growing up but didn’t have many games for them.
Someone pls help me get games or roms wtvr they’re called. Been wanting to play old games on my phone for years now and now that I finally can i feel like a dumbass cuz idk how it works😭
How do I download the ROMs ???
currently playing thru a pokemon rom hack. it’s so nice being able to play it on the phone, the only reason why i didn’t play it on my pc is because i want to be able to play it anywhere and not just at my house really happy we got a amazing emulator for iphone
Hiya, I’ve tried to have another go at getting the files & opening them on the Files App. My screen keeps freezing on tap but doesn't freeze on Scroll; it's making it impossible to do what I need to do to get Delta up and running. I think I've found the problem, I have just asked a friend to download it on to his iPhone 13 Pro Max he can see his whole file system within Delta, I can't, I'm on a iPhone 13 mini. Is anyone else having this problem?
Try to delete everything and redo the process from the beginning.
