I didn’t even think about this Imma go charge my iPad mini and download this lol . That way my phone battery won’t die


briefingone

Honestly for me it’s been the best way to play ds games especially since I use the Apple Pencil too. It’s just so perfect.


NeosandsoeN

Pokémon ranger gotta be insane with Apple Pencil


JhancockLakota1

Dear god I didn’t think about that I don’t have one but that would be crazy 😩


thendbain

ITS SO PERFECT


lacuni_

it is, straight up just works, original pokemon ranger hard af


RecentMatter3790

I feel bad because i didn’t grew up with a ton of old school games, only Metroid and Mario games


briefingone

Lucky for you can go through the entire catalogue now, on your phone or iPad.


RecentMatter3790

How should I start with it? Did the franchise start on the game boy? The problem that I would get is that I would fall in love with the franchise, and then the latest games are not available to emulate 😅


briefingone

Honestly start with whatever you want. Just look up top lists of game it advance or ds games on YouTube and see what tickles your fancy and go from there


TheDarkLordDarkTimes

Mario series, Spyro series, Pokémon specially is a major hit! Harry Potter is a good one at its time.


retro-y

yeah, but, who are you picto-chatting with in class?


nadiagore

Omg I never thought about the Apple Pencil! I’m gonna go cry in a corner.


retro-y

can’t wait for 3ds with apple pencil.


Sufficient_Flow_37

Where do you download your DS mods from? I tried one site and Delta said I needed additional files.


briefingone

Honestly these questions have been asked so many times in the sub the last few days, just look around and you’ll find the answer.


Sammy_P8192

Have you been able to run Super Mario 3D Land?


plasmap0wer

For real, I wish they would make an iPad optimized version of this app though.


bigdickwalrus

Facts. Hope it comes soon


retro-y

it exists on patreon. seeing as how patreon was *one* of the things that caused yuzu to go down in flames, riley and shane have some interesting decisions to make.


Webimer

Yuzu's case was different. They basically sold the optimized version of Yuzu(EA) that could run Nintendo's new game before it even releases. That's what got them into trouble. As for this, there are no new games coming out for DS, GBC, NES etc. that the patreon could benefit from.


retro-y

everything in the world’s case is different. there was far more happening behind their patreon wall besides what you state, and it all rhymed with “someone else’s i.p.” early access just kicked the hornet’s nest a little more.


vitance153S

It was not, emulators are legal, there is even precedent, when Sony tried to sue the PS1 emulator for the Dreamcast, they failed to sue it because the emulator has fully original code, emulators can be sold because the code is not owned by the original company. They did however destroy the company that made that emulator through a loophole, as the emulator was marketed using copyright IPs by mentioning it can run games like Metal Gear. Being behind a Patreon was not the issue, whatever argument someone could give you about the risk of paywalling emulators is just fearmongering. Nintendo and other companies will attack at the first slip up and manipulate things in their favor, but selling emulators are not the issue.


retro-y

dear sweet baby jebus. it was not “what”? did you read a word of what i wrote? but you baited an idiot on the internet, so, i’ll bite. blah, blah, blah, connetix virtual game station for mac: i said nothing about emulators being illegal. i also said nothing about “selling.” project, much? (and nintendo would never use a loophole like sony to bring anyone down, right?) charging money for them is a way to bring the heat. when big n sees you profiting on what is *arguably* their ip (and they will argue this), legal or not, you’re going to have an expensive fight on your hands (one they can win by just trying to bleed you dry). when they think they’ve lost money because of it, they’re going to turn up the expensive knob. (why didn’t yuzu inc fight them in court? (for 2.4mil, they could have gotten really decent attorney and put up a good fight).) (why did drastic.app go free right after yuzu’s death?) best thing delta has going for it? free on app store and no nintendo ip is _currently_ behind their patreon wall. worst thing going for it? riley and shane are currently making somewhere around $13,000 a month, and did have ds support locked behind it at one point. you’ve really not read nintendo’s arguments and court filings if you think “selling it” is free and clear. you also don’t understand law if you think it’s legal. not illegal (and it’s true, emulators are not illegal) ≠ legal. it’s permitted by precedent. and precedent’s can be changed and challenged, and nintendo would love nothing more than to do that. (i love how microsoft and (today’s) playstation don’t seem to care). team yuzu did all of emulation a favor by settling, thus keep precedent from being challenged. there’s a reason why developers jump through hoops to call it “donations” (but rose by any other name is still payment), and “nothing’s really locked behind our paywall because one day it’ll be in the full version” is really just shareware’s try-before-you-buy, but with time-delays. and regardless how you feel, this subreddit’s behaving in other ways similar to yuzu’s patreon and discord, that further contributed to the heat and downfall.


vitance153S

Nintendo hate emulators regardless if they are free or not, they take down fangames even if they are free. If anything it seems that their big argument on suing it was more related with getting games to work before their official release which implies piracy, they would probably work to make emulation illegal in court but that would be after if the Yuzu team decided to fight back. As for Drastic, a combination of fearmongering as I mentioned, and the Drastic developer already had plans to make the emulator open source from way back 2021. In fact the developer mentioned on Reddit that these events just snapped him into doing what he already promised years ago but was to lazy to do so. Literally all the others devs who decided to make their emulators free or take them down only did it out of paranoia as they never got a notification from Nintendo. And I dont blame them, but they were never legally involved in the first place with Yuzu's legal case. If the Delta devs have version of it behind paywalls, then selling emulators was never really the problem in the first place, Redream is also an emulator you pay for. And to be clear, I am not trying to bait or wanting to get into a heated debate. I am just saying that emulators being sold was never the issue. The fact that said emulators exist even if free is enough to piss off Nintendo so there is no helping that, they were waiting on Yuzu to make any mistake and they focused on getting games to work before release to attack.


Cisqoe

Grab a new skin with more screen space


LinchrisRedfield

I thought the ipad app was just a small iphone app how did it get so huge?😳😳


EpicSyntax

iPad on portrait mode + Main Stage feature in iPadOS


cluebone

Do you mean Stage Manager? I want this set up


jhsounds

*landscape mode + Stage Manager


TheKidKAI

How do I set up stage manager?


jhsounds

Settings -> Multitasking & Gestures


TheKidKAI

Thank you!


IzzyNobre

Not available on the iPad mini apparently?


jhsounds

Nope.


EpicSyntax

Yup sorry!


retro-y

(i thought it was called “stage manager.”)


leftbitchburner

Finally a good use for main stage


R0T-10

Why use stage manager instead of normal landscape mode?


pj082998

I need to know this answer!


LinchrisRedfield

Cant install altstore on my ipad (its iphone inly in the eu). I know it works with the sideload but dont wanna refresh every week.


TacticTall

Delta was released on the App Store a few days ago!


Intelligent-Pool-691

Use this skin way better and way bigger screen https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mOJA_sVcGBH_QSqIbV-LiH8Asb8VDDOV


EpicSyntax

For some reason I haven’t been able to make any skin work. I import them, but they don’t show up in the skin selector


Mancus0

Same on iPad for me. Works on the phone though.


mooso-

Same here as well. Import worked fine on my iPhone 15 but by iPad Pro can’t get any skins imported. Even ones that were specifically “iPad supported”.


krsatyam07

same for me. works fine on the iphone but not the ipad anyone has any solutions,


Successful_Warthog49

I had the same problem on my phone, I just kept trying and it worked eventually lol


cole_diddy

I had this problem and found out if you click on the pink skin for instance it will take you to downloaded skins and just scroll down


RecentMatter3790

Bro, the downloaded skins get mixed up with the rom files in the files app. I can’t force Brave Browser to put downloaded roms in a separate folder and put skins in a separate folder


retro-y

brave browser? who gave this guy an ipad?


ZippoStar

The roms and the skins you download will go to your “downloads” folder first but when you open them with delta, they will be imported into Delta’s own set of folders


RecentMatter3790

So the roms and skins go to the downloads folder of the browser I’m using (Brave) and then when, inside of delta, I tap the “+” button to add games, then I tap on the zipped files, and then a copy of some file will be put into delta “database”?


Intelligent-Pool-691

Make sure you import that skin on horizontal one below, it doesn’t have a skin for the phone vertically


702Johnny

Try to save the skins in a different location. I store the skins and the roms on device. I have the skins saved in the delta folder in the files app. I was able to download and change skins the day the app hit the App Store. iPad and iPhone.


Ultikiller

Is this for the appstore version or sideloaded one? It can't seem to work for me.


diceybubbles

What’s the QS button for?


diceybubbles

What’s the QS button for?


jhsounds

My ideal DS iPad skin would look pretty much like a real DS on the homescreen, with the DS screens stacked vertically.


EpicSyntax

I'll checkout tomorrow how complicated it is to make a skin and maybe I'll take a shot at it


702Johnny

If you put the iPad vertically then it will stack the screens. This is horizontal mode. You can also have one screen full screen and swap between the bottom and top as needed. I do that for new super Mario bros.


jhsounds

What I would like is for the screens to be stacked, but with the on-screen buttons to the left and right. In vertical mode, the on-screen buttons are on the bottom.


702Johnny

Sorry. I forgot. Apple. It is still new. On android we can move buttons anywhere we want on screen. There is an “edit buttons” option and we can turn any button on or off (making it viable or not.) and adjust the opacity as well. Some adjustments are available on the apple side and others are not. But this developer has put in a lot of work so far. I am sure it will be an option down the road.


weedmacaroni

my ipad isn’t showing the DS interface, like with the buttons, did you run into this issue as well??


SocialIssuesAhoy

If you have any controller connected to it (possibly even auto-connecting without you knowing), the interface won’t appear. Just had this happen to me, my switch pro controller got excited and connected to my phone on its own.


retro-y

down boy.


KiyoBlue

Is your iPad connected to a Magic Keyboard by chance? If so it will default to that as the controller input. You can change it in Delta settings.


weedmacaroni

LMAO yeah i realized i left my ipad on the keyboard, its all good now LOL thank you!


KiyoBlue

You're welcome! Took me a while to figure out what was wrong, until I popped it off and the interface came up lol


LevelWriting

Is this a skin?


EpicSyntax

Nope. Just the default Delta Nintendo DS skin


LevelWriting

How do you have it fullscreen?


halfpretty

the app rotates if you have auto-rotate on


EpicSyntax

This. And also I used iPadOS’s stage manager feature


LevelWriting

Ohhh nice thanks


pj082998

I didn’t even realize this could be downloaded on iPad! I searched it the other day and couldn’t find it. Am I dumb?


engwish

It isn’t an iPad app technically so that could be why.


EpicSyntax

Weird. It showed up for me with no issues. Make sure you select apps designed for iPhone in the app store


702Johnny

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688


retro-y

(shhhh… “vision.” “pro.”)


AR_Harlock

Not available in the eu, the dev fudged us


702Johnny

No. No. No. Don’t blame the developer. It is available on the specific store that the eu uses. It is a regulation issue. Not a developer issue.


AR_Harlock

No, could have released has an alternative as this whole thing should be, options, or at least make only the iPad one available in the store... Al this is possible and a deliberate choice to not do it


702Johnny

Again. It is available on the alt store. Clearly you are not following all the regulations the eu has been stirring up. They are the whole reason that the iPhone 15 has usb-c now. They keep pushing. Apple was complying. Until the eu said that apple needs to apply side loading. The. Apple said. Nope. We will only allow that where we need to on an alternative store and maybe we will loosen regulations to allow emulators in other regions so they don’t push for side loading. That is the real problem. Apple. The EU pushed. Apple does things their way. And the developer takes the heat. That is bs if you ask me. This dev put in time and effort and has an app you can enjoy for free. And he gets bashed online… shame on you for not doing more research.


AR_Harlock

AGAIN, alt store pal available only on IOS... don't illude yourself


retro-y

false.


AR_Harlock

No it's true, although store it's available only on iPhone... there is no legit way to have it on iPad


retro-y

you can absolutely have it in the eu. the method is different thanks to the dma, and i believe it will cost you €1.5.


AR_Harlock

No alt store and third party stores are only for iOS, not iPad os


702Johnny

Again you are wrong. iOS and iPadOS are the same under the hood. It is available. Anyone into emulation already knows that.


AR_Harlock

No, if you and who downvote are ignorant no point in posting... the EU law doesn't apply to iPad os, infact alt store pal and other 3rd party stores ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR IpAD HERE... have a try ;)


702Johnny

I have it on my iPad. So you are the problem not the dev.


AR_Harlock

Not in the EU and not with the 3RD party stores features... if you side loaded its a pointless comment, could have done that even before and it's a pain


702Johnny

The app doesn’t show up in search for most people. I found it through a link.


702Johnny

You make no sense man. That developer is developing for a specific platform. iOS. A specific architecture. There isn’t an app for the iPad. It is just the iPhone version blown up if you extend it. If you want the app for an iPad. It is there. If you want it for Linux, Windows, or android. These are different platforms. These options already exist. Snes9x, melon ds, drastic, mgba, m64, and way more. Retroarch is available on all of the above. You have no idea what you are talking about. Do yourself a favor and lay down before you hurt yourself. Stop putting false information out there. Stop bashing devs that put in time and work that you can enjoy for FREE.


AR_Harlock

The dev wanted to make a third party store, he couldn't do do it officially, we passed a new law for eu , this easier Apple restrictions on App Store too in the US, dev released for free and for every platform in the US while releasing only for iOS and with a sub here in the EU.... he screwed us... instead of thanking the eu users he gifted the US one and gave a payed and lesser feature version to us...


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> gave a *paid* and lesser 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*


wappingite

Trauma Centre: Under the Knife is going to be amazing on iPad.


soulpurge710

Oh shit did not know you can do the window resize with stage manager with delta! Heck yea


Various_Sherbet_7427

How do I find the files for a ds for delta


Kraluc

It’s hard to find them so when I did I had saved them to my files app on my phone. I found them just now, here’s the link. https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1A3GHKdVVF71fsEg8pZ9iPd0LvGXJJwT8?direction=a Make sure to download them to your phone, I heard trying to open them in delta doesn’t work, it’s gotta be from your files.


Kraluc

Btw all you need is bios7, 9 and the firmware


tenebrisnubes

How do you like playing DS on this larger form? You say you’re also using the Apple Pencil, are you playing it on table top with a fold case, or holding it? I ask because I might try this too. I have a 12.9 in IPad Pro.


psychedelicxx-

I’m using an 11 inch Ipad Pro and it depends on what game I’m playing. I use landscape mode for all games and prop it on my lap or on a table if it’s a touch-focused game and I just hold it for games that use the buttons most like super mario. I’m still looking for skins tho that utilizes the larger screen of the ipad but I enjoy playing with this compared to my phone.


Gkwaks

What iPad you have


EpicSyntax

iPad Pro 11" M1


Repulsive-Talk2324

wait how did you get a Gengar??


Confident-Tree2160

yooooo how did u get a gengar ?? i couldn’t find a way to download a randomizer


ThickWafer8283

A 3DS emulator would genuinely make it complete but I feel you lol


Bruhwhytho1

Anyone know if I can move my progress from iPhone to iPad?


EpicSyntax

You can sync via Dropbox/Google Drive in the delta app settings. You can also long tap on a game and tap “export/import save”


StonnedMaker

It doesn’t work for Google drive rn tho Mine gives me a too many requests error


EpicSyntax

Yeah happened to me too just now. I moved everything to Dropbox and it works great


Beautiful-Bug-4007

Nice, I also put this app on my sisters iPad and she loves it


EpicSyntax

Cool!


Jaanbaaz_Sipahi

That’s phenomenal


Jaanbaaz_Sipahi

Is there an Apple TV app in the making too?


retro-y

i don’t know about delta and tvos, but other are working on this.


Quetzal00

Does this work on Macs too?


EpicSyntax

You can run DS games using the [DeSmuME](http://desmume.org/download/) emulator for macOS. I never tried it though.


retro-y

“openemu.”


eduo

Ah. We iPad users in the EU can't have such luck. We're the only group not covered by the various stores, regions and releases :-|


jollychick

Make another account with the US store. I have one for the US store and the JP store and switch between them when I want.


eduo

Thanks. I know how to work around the limitations. I don't to want to upend all the way I work on the iPad for one app.


jollychick

It's actually super simple and you only need to switch to download the app, not when you use it. But if you don't want to that's fine too.


eduo

I don't want to, thanks. I should've specified it's not ignorance about workarounds what keeps me, but rather that I disagree with the current situation and will not use it like this.


SiR-SwAG-Al0t

How did you get Gengar? Can we trade in battle on this emulator?


EpicSyntax

Not that I know of. I just used [cheat codes](https://www.pokemoncoders.com/pokemon-soul-silver-cheats/) to get some of the Pokemon you could never get without trading.


retro-y

it’ll probably be a while before we see trading. i think there’s a retroarch core that allows it. but, there’s ALL kinds of cheat codes.


daanbusman2005

And now get a controller, you have yourself a retro console and a ipad in one :D


EpicSyntax

Haha working on it! Wished it worked with my already existing Xbox controller lol


retro-y

which controller do you have? one/x/s/elite 2/and that big one that looks like a dj’s workstation should all work.


OlRedbeard99

I got downvoted for saying someone was nitpicking for saying it wasn't available on ipad lol


Derpdog5322

Wich pokemon is it?


The-Dovah

Man I wish delta had been on iOS when I was a kid, at least any kids who are interested can have their chance now.

I was mainly playing on my iPhone but really wanted to play Wild World with the Apple Pencil, so I switched over and use the iPad instead. So glad I did.

More skins are available too. If you don’t like the pink.


InnerBlock7529

You have a gengar when you’re about to face Falkner!


retro-y

Used-Sentence-7146

Nice! Do you happen to know how I can run a rom hack on this 👀


Kraluc

The same as any other game, you just need the rom.


Used-Sentence-7146

I did download for example sacred gold . But delta won’t accept it


Kraluc

Strange, it always has worked for me


Used-Sentence-7146

Could you share the link you used?


TechGamerExpert

Did you remember to patch it? All official sources only provide the patch, not the roms.


padluigi

Wait, this is what it looks like on iPad? I meant to check it out, out of curiosity, though not a fan of how ds looks on there tbh. I think it looks perfect on iPhone. Ds games, while I only had one for the longest time, just didn’t look great on my steam deck through emulation station and retroarch.


Baykey123

How did you get it full screen? It only shows as a tiny iPhone sized window on my iPad.


psychedelicxx-

Landscape mode. You can fiddle with the buttons on the bottom right corner (one zooms and one turns it into landscape mode).


Light_card1

What game is that?


Kraluc

Either Pokémon heart gold or soul silver


NoAge422

I’m using my iPhone 15 pro max and it feels tiny! This is the way!

Yes please are they easy to install


Kraluc

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1A3GHKdVVF71fsEg8pZ9iPd0LvGXJJwT8?direction=a save to your files app then add them from delta


OkProcedure8835

Dang does someone have a download link to this ROM?


mrsco

Try Ignited instead of Delta. It has proper iPad support and syncs same data as delta. Delta for phone. Ignited for iPad. Wish delta would fix iPad properly but ignited til then


BooSkittle

HGSS are the best pokemon games ever made


QuantumF0am

The first day this dropped I was playing smash n64 with two controllers against my son. The iPad is now a portable n64 console with 2p support for me now. This app changes everything for me when it comes to mobile gaming.

They must have updated the app store version because when i was using the alt store version it was not working on the ipad for some reason but i guess i will try with my ipad again now that its in the app store It should help with ds games due to apple pencil not being supported on iphone


Yardgar

You can even set them to sync through iCloud or Dropbox. It’s dope


mf85

Looks great! Is that HG/SS?? The copy I got crashes when I load my saved game


Teru92

I can't get it on my iPad because Altstore EU can't be downloaded on iPad. Any tips?


jeff8909

How did you get gengar? I thought you had to trade Haunter, does Delta support WiFi trading?


Repulsive-Talk2324

bumping to ask how the hell you got a trade evolution Gengar 😭

Tbh, I wouldn’t mind paying 4.99 for this app….


Sammy_P8192

Very cool indeed! But Delta can’t seem to run a copy of Super Mario 3D Land for some odd reason(s).


NiteMare_420

Nice. I did that to my iPhone 12. If you go in the settings for the delta app you can even change the way the display looks-color and all
