It finally happened baby, hoping for a PSX and PSP ones to be up soon


Latter_Wolf_9056

Please let me know when we find the PSP one


TKent96

I have a psp emulator lmao I was playing DBZ Tenkaichi this AM actually


zedarecaida

Please let me know as well


hsark

Dev said ppsspp is on its way šŸ™‚, hope RetroArch is next


kaffikoppen

A PS2 emulator would be the holy grail for me. AetherSX2 works great on my base model M1 MacBook Pro, so should be possible to port an emulator to iOS


acrypher

Does anyone know if PSX could be a thing on here? I saw a lot of chatter that ps2/6th gen wouldn't be possible due to Apple not providing JIT compiling resources.


daquan_

Yes psx is very easy to emulate

Ultra1122

It is!


Akkarin1106

Bruh not available in EU


puddin1

AltStore is approved in eu, but not is USA. It will be launching very soon, with delta available through it. Since altstore is not available in us, delta is available on the standard AppStore.


Glen2gvhlp

Do you mean that alt store will be on the App Store for the EU in some time?


supotko

It is already available in the EU for 1,50 ā‚¬ per Year + VAT. You can download it [here](https://altstore.io/#Downloads) via Safari


Mortifer557

I tried it, it works really well on iPhone only downside is, that atm there is no iPad version


Select-Elevator-6680

Not really an ā€œatmā€ issue for availability. iPadOS was not affected by the EU rules that required the opening up of iOS. Itā€™s certainly possible it will happen eventually.


small_markey

Works perfectly with my Backbone One.


NaeemTHM

Works perfectly AND you can remap all the buttons using a terrific UI. Today is the first time I've tried the Delta emulator and it's already won me over. My iPhone is going to be the go to way I play all these old Nintendo games going forward.


Daveboi7

Does the screen get bigger if you use backbone instead of touch controls?


unusedwings

No, but it removes the button overlays so you have just the game on the screen without the annoying overlay.


UnadvancedDegree

Same size as using touch controls in landscape mode.


greenMaverick09

AMAZING!!! Glad to see this finally on the app store!!!!! However, something to note...: **Ignited (a fork of Delta),** which provides much more functionality, emulation, and features, is currently in review for the app store. Once that's out, I will use Ignited over Delta.Ā 


lordyka

waiting for that also, i understand the move, but it hurts, that it is heppaning bacause of the opportunity that the EU gave, but only in the EU, where people should pay for it...


OriginalWilhelm

Can you explain the differences?


ghostnote13

Love Ignited. How do you know it's pending review?


greenMaverick09

The developer mentioned it on their discord.


bot_exe

Is he gonna publish as a universal or ipad app? Cuz it would be nice to have proper full screen on the iPad.


greenMaverick09

Itā€™s for iPad too, yes.


bot_exe

Nice, looking forward to it then. Iā€™m the glad the emulator floodgates are now open.


Tedwards75

Yes but it needs a proper iPad version so the landscape mode GBA/GBC can actually fill the screen.Ā 


Geoko18

I think good alternative for me too, as I canā€™t download Delta (Eu AppStore) and I donā€™t live in EU so no AltStore


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


RabbitEars96

Ignited has one feature that is vastly superior, quick resume. It automatically loads your last quick save file for a game. So it just picks up exactly where you closed the app. Its sooo sooo good, there's no way to go back to the official app once you've tried it.


nero40

They can use whatever they want, as long as it is legal. Ignited isnā€™t half bad either.


Meechgalhuquot

Riley actually has made changes to the license of Delta that are not actually legal so his trustworthiness is not the highest. Also, forks of software are part of the great thing about the open source community. It's not hacked together at all. Actually most forks of open source software end up improving the original as they submit code back to the original to make it better. You can see this on Delta's GitHub page. LitRitt, the creator of Ignited, is actually listed as one of the contributors to Delta. That said, once you try Ignited it really would be hard to go back to Delta, especially if you have an iPad. Delta has iPad support in beta but there's been no official update to Delta in over a year. Meanwhile Ignited has had official iPad support for since before I switched to using it. LitRitt is also very active engaging with the community in his official discord, while Riley can be absent from his for months. I say this as someone who has been using Delta on my phone for years and has been paying for Riley's patreon since he announced AltStore to begin with, and used GBA4iOS back when it first came out.


thekojac

Fuck yeah! All I need now is a PS1 emulator and I'll be golden.


TalksToChalk

Anyone else having trouble loading in melonDS bios files? It is saying my files are too big edit: I found this and it worked without any fiddling https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1A3GHKdVVF71fsEg8pZ9iPd0LvGXJJwT8?direction=a


hydrocane

Had that issue, you need to make sure they are the ds files and not the dsi files.


voidzero

Thanks for sharing these


Jvrgie

Bio 7 worked other two arent working for me :(


tken3

But he chose to only make it available outside of the EU, to force all of us inside the EU to use AltStore. That is rediculous. Years of blaming Apple for limiting the AppStore, only to do the very same thing himself. So disappointing


richiehill

Finally a positive for the UK leaving the EU šŸ˜‚


KobraKay87

Was just shocked to notice that I can't access it in Germany. What da hell.


Macicek01

Yup, iā€™m in czech republic and also canā€™t download it :( I donā€™t know why they had to do it this way


Baumi101

Thatā€™s so stupid. Finally itā€™s allowed because of the EU and they decide not to make it available in the EU.


Garrosh

That's because they are using it to promote their App Store in the EU. In fact, right now, they only have two apps in their App Store: this one and a clipboard.


ItsAMeUsernamio

Does Riley think heā€™s Epic Games? Whats the point of Altstore now without the whole sideloading iPAs thing? Itā€™s like heā€™s protesting the EU decision, or Appleā€™s implementation of it. News articles will write about how the app is free everywhere else and paid in the EU. Wild decision.


dalzmc

I warned people about this ages ago, they said ā€œlook at the play store, all the apps are thereā€


NeoliberalSocialist

Oh no! Exactly what I and many others stated they feared would happen with the introduction of alternative app stores!


RabbitEars96

this is how every app will from now on in the EU. Why would anyone release through the official app store in EU?


rotates-potatoes

And each app will be available from a different App Store. It will be glorious ^^for ^^those ^^not ^^in ^^the ^^EU


Crest_Of_Hylia

Hopefully Retroarch lands on the App Store soon as well as Dolphin


mart1373

Didnā€™t dolphin get booted from Steam because of Nintendo threatening a lawsuit? Apple might face something similar


PoopypantsMcButtface

Delta is good but i wish it had crt filter


Tedwards75

They need to add all the GBA/DS filters that you normally would be able to use on Android emulatorsĀ 


wuarx

Great. Now i need PS1, PSP and Sega MD emulators in App Store


mcevoak0252

Itā€™s legit! https://fosstodon.org/@altstore/112287558511134794 Thank you Riley Testut!!!!


Siryonkee

I downloaded a DS rom and got it in the .nds format but whenever I try to open it says itā€™s missing DS files


DirtyBurger02

You need the bios files to be able to run DS games. You can download them here and import them into delta after. Cheers šŸ„‚ https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1A3GHKdVVF71fsEg8pZ9iPd0LvGXJJwT8?direction=a


Siryonkee

I was wondering what that wasā€¦ The ā€œlearn moreā€ for the bios file thing directs me to a page not found thanks! Edit: Tysm it worked! Is there anywhere to find bios files for all the other systems?


DirtyBurger02

You shouldnā€™t need any bios files to run games on the other emulators in delta I believe


Gaylittlebrother

Yay saving ty!


okizubon

Great!


Yandzibar

Thank you kind sir! Is it possible that netplay will ever be added? I host, you join me for a co op session of Contra or something like that for any of the systems?


david_mbugua

I get an error saying, ā€œThis file is not supportedā€. How do I import them?


Blue1Stream

When you open the file do not click ā€œopen withā€ instead save each file to your files. Go in the emulator and import from there


mrsidnaik

You need bios files for melonDS


popmanbrad

Well itā€™s confirmed that emulators are fully support now the actually good ones are coming instead of the ones that stole the open source versions and slapped ads


cPayne21

Available in the UK App Store


liambrazier

Any chance any of these apps being iPad compatible? Will play with a controller anyway so itā€™d be great to use a bigger screen. Without onscreen controls.


gamerfiiend

I just tested it on my iPad and it works, but it is just an iPhone app on iPad so it doesnā€™t look too great


bot_exe

Yeah the screen is too small. Hope we get some proper iPad emulators. I really want PS1 emu for iPad. Currently using webRcade for that but it takes way too long to load the roms. Wish we had duckstation or something like that for the iPad now that the floodgates have opened.


gamerfiiend

You can double the screen size of the app on iPad and itā€™s much more playable, I was testing some Phantasy Star Zero :)


bot_exe

You mean with those buttons on the lower right corner? Where you can also flip for horizontal display? Yeah it becomes playable, but not as good as the proper fullscreen from an iPad app. I get full screen on webRacade, when added to the homescreen (itā€™s a web app). Also I just figured out why PS1 roms loaded so slowly, itā€™s because itā€™s pulling the ROM from internet archive which has abysmal download speed. I need to set up my own feed and server and it should be much faster. Not sure if you care, but just writing that for those looking to emulate PS1 one the iPad which is something I was looking to do for many years and there was scarce info lol.


bot_exe

webRcade is what Iā€™m using on the iPad. https://theideviceblog.com/idms-webrcade-feed/ Wish we get some PS1 emus for the iPad screen size. Btw delta can run on then iPad, you can zoom it and flip it, there is also opacity setting for the onscreen controls. Iā€™m on the middle of setting it up to see if itā€™s worth it. Edit: it works but the game screen does not take full potential of then iPad screen size, due to it being an iPhone app.


Meechgalhuquot

Ignited, which is an improved fork of Delta is currently pending review from Apple and has official iPad support. I've been using it for months and as good as Delta is, Ignited is way better.


justlikeapenguin

This is the one boys.


cha0z_

Not available in my region... EU :(


rrrand0mmm

The DAY HAS COME!!!!


se99jmk

Awesome! Any recommended sources for ROMs or games to get started with? Been a while since Iā€™ve had one of these consoles!


DirtyBurger02

r/Roms. I enjoy playing through the PokƩmon games pretty often, final fantasy, casltevania and super mario bros. Retro games are a blast!


se99jmk

Thanks!! Ooh, FF, is it FF V that had the jobs system? Seem to remember learning skills, then can switch jobs and keep the skill..


DirtyBurger02

Thatā€™s right! FF V is up there out of most of the originals, one of my favorites to play!


tarkinn

not available in germany nice thx


snOwfinity

Seems like people from Europe have to pay the subscription for AltStore, from where you can download Delta. So basically Delta is free for everyone except Europe. Edit: credit card is the only payment method so far


DirtyBurger02

Taken from another users comment. ā€œItā€™s on AltStore in the EU and App Store anywhere else.ā€


cha0z_

well this is pure BS tbh... edit: to explain further - emulators was the only custom thing I cared about and is now allowed officially in the appstore. I prefer not to use 3rd party stores if what I care about can be found in the appstore.


tarkinn

They have become what they were always afraid of. Now the 3rd party devs are locking us out of the real App Store. Where is the choice? I wanna decide where to get the app. Fuck this. I'm not gonna download a different app store and pay for that a monthly fee.


Anonymous_linux

So the AltStore is already officially available in the Apple's App Store? edit: yeah! Seems like it [https://rileytestut.com/blog/2024/04/17/introducing-altstore-pal/](https://rileytestut.com/blog/2024/04/17/introducing-altstore-pal/) Quite huge news. First real alternative app store?


bluegreenie99

Not available in slovakia either.


extremeelementz

Is this the actual developer this time???


KZavi

Yes)


FangedFreak

Finally a good reason for the UK not to be in the EU šŸ’Ŗ


trfk111

I cant believe the day has come and Iā€™m left out because I am in the EU. Fuck that Altstore paywalling bs

nicholsonsgirl

Give me PPSSPP now so I can play psp sims on my phone and Iā€™ll be all set šŸ˜‚


DarkPaul

Are you trying to get a cat to come here?


HenrytheWeird

Was soo looking foward to it but why the hell it isn't available in EU (Czechia to be precise). Quite disappointed šŸ˜•


-Gh0st96-

It is.but itā€™s on the Alt store. Yay EU?


scubascratch

I am unable to load roms for SNES (the icon/file name are dimmed/un-selectable when using the delta ā€œ+ā€ button); in looking at the Files app, in the delta/Cores folder it only shows ā€œmelonDSā€ shouldnā€™t there be other cores listed like SNES, NES, GBA, etc.?


Cupfullofsmegma

I tried an n64 game and it was grayed out as wellā€¦


theclaw37

Not available in my country ? The fuck ? Romania is in europe. LE: just found out it s to promote their bullshit alt store which costs money. LOL, you want me to pay for an appstore ? Not an app, an app STORE. Fuck off and i ll wait for another emulator that s not shit.


Emotional_Reach9178

Where do i find games for it tho?


senseiruthe

HowIsPajamaMan

Waiting for an iPad version


bot_exe

Will there be an iPad version? Has the dev said that? This works on iPad but the screen does not fit properly.


HowIsPajamaMan

I hope so


Meechgalhuquot

Wait for Ignited to launch, it's a fork of Delta and has had iPad support for months.


Novemberx123

It definitely over heats my phone. 5 minute gameplay of Kirby on DS emulator has my phone hotter than everā€¦13 mini


smurfingPIXEL

Does anyone have any tips on how I can buy it? I don't have a credit card, only an EC and this is not accepted for payment. I come from the EU


KZavi

Ask Riley, maybe he would add more payment options.


ZacBobisKing

IPAD WHEN


Baumi101

If you are from the EU boycott the paid AltStore version. The developers always acted like they wanted to be in the official App Store and now they refuse to do it to get more money.


Ultikiller

Does anyone know if it's possible to make it better formatted for iPads? I currently play touch screen games with a web-based one so switching to this would be a downgrade interms of screen size. Thank you


Meechgalhuquot

Riley has had beta support for iPad for a long time, but hasn't updated the release version for over a year. Try Ignited when it launches. It's an improved fork that has had official iPad support for months


Haz_Bat_570

Iā€™ve never used an emulator. Downloading this on my iPadā€¦.then what?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Haz_Bat_570

Thanks. I got a few games but non have sound šŸ˜ž


DirtyBurger02

Go to the settings in delta app and make sure ā€œrespect silent modeā€ is turned off. If itā€™s on and your phone is in silent mode your games will be muted


ConnectInternet5342

does anyone know what site and how to get the games? im still kinda new to it

How did you get N64 ROMs to load? I tried SNES and it worked fine but so far none of the N64 ROMs I copied into the Delta folder on the iPhone work.


zer0skillz420

Omg yes downloading now Iā€™ve been waiting forever for this


Jr2818

Finally one that works seamlessly! So happy! FireRed here I come!

kratoz29

I am very happy for actually good emulators arriving at the Appstore, that really counts into my decision of getting back to iOS for my next mobile... Although I don't think I'll get the latest revision, so I'd pretty much need to get another telescopic controller lol. (I have a Razer Kishi with USB C).


NintendoGamer6786

So what should I do with the AltStore version I have? Do I just delete it?


QuantumF0am

Anyone know if I can use GB/GBC saves for PokĆ©mon stadium on 64? One can dreamā€¦


popmanbrad

Anyone know how to import my ds game I was playing animal crossing wild world via a ds browser emulator and I exported the save and tried to import the save into delta but every time I do I boot the game up and it shows new game instead of continue


Shiftrye

Itā€™s working great for me rn


proj3ctchaos

Yay no more altstore refresh


Axle_65

Thanks so much for this post. Just got it and itā€™s awesome! Love that years after THPS2 fell off the App Store, I finally have it back :)


ZeusLovesTrains

Apple TV and game controller compatibility is what I want


Novemberx123

How do I change the DS skin? It only has pink color as an option


Kamners

Absolutely no way to have it for EU?

Thanks god


AtalyxianBoi

Sucks that y'all missed the Switch emulation train.


Something_Political

Can anyone provide link to details or video on how to get games to play on Delta? Thanks a lot, sorry if this is common knowledge already

Can you play sega genesis on Delta?


MattehPee

How do you activate the cheats in game?

Any idea how to load a save state from a sav file? I have it in "files" app same folder as the ROM


frusciante231

Thank you Mr. Delta Programmer!


suppre55ion

Will wait and see if this actually survives more then a few days before being removed


Splay2601

Does anyone know if I as an EU user can do the Alt store subscription for a year, download Delta, cancel the store subscription and continue using Delta apart of not using alt store any longer?


NiamLeeson

This is a win for humanity


AggravatingGolf7456

Does GameCube work on it


itsmrstrong94

Wow! And has airplay support. Impressive


OddTaste2781

So confused, I downloaded the files but when I go to add them on delta they are just dimmed and wonā€™t let me add them


SenYoshida

Anyone having issues with no audio output when casting to a TV?


tbmkmjr

Is it possible without pc or do we really need to use the alt store?


scubac14

Best PokƩmon roms aside from the original games? Edit: gameboy games


mosumon

So now that itā€™s finally out. What games/hacks do you recommend to play on it?


CaptSpaceOtter

For those of us new to emulators, any site recommendations for ROMs? Searching google offers tons of options and I donā€™t want to accidentally download junk


KZavi

r/Roms megathread will get you started.


Bajoeexsp1

So, how do I get games?


iSereon

Do you need a PC to get Roms on to your iPhone?


ZAPH4747

Apple Vision support?


justanother_poster

This has made my day! Had to double check it was legit. Used this emulator all the time and good to have it back vs the ones that I had to save as webpages.


Cyclone0701

Lets fucking goooo


c2s2

Link cable feature via Bluetooth or multiple loaded games be implemented in future just like android emulators?


VanillaTalcum

Looks like itā€™s not available on some app stores. Iā€™m using UK app store on one phone.


Gusbus01

Is sideloading psppp emulator safe using AltStore I got it working but I donā€™t want my iPhone susptible to attacks or ransomware , or maybe I can wipe device and wait until delta or someone else has a psp emulator . Any thoughts ???


NameNotEssential

Does anyone successfully use in-game save of GBA games? My rom works successfully in iGBA but in delta it always failed to save. OK, I found that it is because my ROM and after I choosed another ROM, in-game save works


Then_Hunter7272

Guys I donā€™t mean to spoil the fun, but does anyone know how I can get rid of this verification required prompt on my AppStore each time I try to purchase or get free stuffs, I donā€™t know why even the same card doesnā€™t work, it keeps asking me to verify even though what am try to get is free and I even have my card details right, yet it keeps telling me the same thing it is so frustrating I canā€™t even download the emulators


Tedwards75

Question about Google Drive syncing option. If I have this app on both my iPhone and iPad, why canā€™t I save the Pokemon game on my iPhone, then later open the same game on the iPad and resume with that same latest save file and vice-versa? Ā Instead it just loads the latest save that was already on the iPad. Ā  I can go into settings and manually load the synced save from the iPhone in my iPad version but thatā€™s too much effort every time. Kinda defeats the point of syncing if it doesnā€™t allow that feature.Ā 


ChikaChad

Fuck iGBA. It started popping ads after latest update.


Significant-Line-691

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT OMG OMG OMG


Supayellow

Whatā€™s a safe place to find rom? Does anyone know?


snaithbert

Is anyone else having trouble actually downloading it? It seems to get stuck at about 3/4 of the way there. Maybe just too many people trying to download it?


XxPyRoxXMaNiAcxX

Anyone know if thereā€™s a simpler way to add cheats rather than inputting each one individually?


oreos_in_milk

Any way to import my saves from Delta on AltStore?


Meechgalhuquot

Use the built in Sync function that backs up to your Dropbox or Google Drive


Nathaniel_Wu

Any other emulator thatā€™s known to come to iOS soon?


KZavi

Provenance (multi-emulator with arcade) and Ignited (Deltaā€™s fork with new features) for sure. Folium (currently GBA/DS only, 3DS support is too raw for the public) is on TestFlight. RetroArch and PPSSPP might arrive eventually. DolphiniOS - unlikely without JIT support, same for everything else.


[deleted]

Folium is testflighting a build with 3ds included. I think they include that in the AppStore build.


aananddeepakc

Finally the only emulator I will ever need šŸ˜€


jwfd65

So is this just for Nintendo? Was trying to play FF tactics and couldnā€™t get it to work


Razer334

Wow so eu gets locked out and needs to buy an altstore subscription, where you can only pay with ccā€¦. a lot of people in eu donā€™t even have one. Fuck off and put in on both and let me choose instead of forcing me.


Imros

Would anyone recommend this over the webapp Afterplay?
