When your iPhone becomes a game console

Today lets check out how retro gaming on the iPhone works now that there is a legitimate emulator that seems like it will stick around!

Completed Okamiden (100%) it on Delta. It ran smooth as butter. Nothing to complaint about Delta aside from the occasional cramps from playing without a physical controller. Bought myself a Gamesir X2 Bluetooth. Now I can game comfortably.

Did this about a week ago … got over 100 snes games my brother I grew up with. Amazing … let’s hope Nintendo doesn’t crash the party

I've been sideloading delta for years at this point on my iPhones. Glad to see it finally officially on the App Store! Also, my iPhone 12 Pro can run Wii games decently enough for my liking; the occasional MKW on the train is pretty fun!

To make it work well on a tv just use an adapter to plug it in that will smooth it out, then use a wireless controller like an xbox or playstation controller and you have the perfect home setup.

I saw another YouTuber show using Nintendo Switch Joycons via bluetooth. For people without the new iPhone 15 and its USB-C, this is a simple fit. Yes, it’s another device, but it’s more compact than a switch and I already had the Joycons. It’s not perfect, but works well enough to be fun.

I very much agree that touch controls on most mobile games are not good at all. Although, I do appreciate how Delta provides some features to make their touch controls tolerable, at least for me. For one, you get haptic feedback from each button press which makes them feel more tactile. Also, the emulator allows you to virtually press and hold buttons which turned out to actually be a useful feature for games like Mario Kart DS where you had to press and hold the accelerator button anyway.

Again, if I had a physical controller around, I personally prefer that. But considering that I spent no money on the emulator and I can play my childhood games somewhat decently, it’s hard to complain lol

I would get a node in your gaming room (mesh network extender / AiMesh ) and if you have tri-band….chose a specific band for your gaming room (2.4ghz, 5.1ghz, or 5.2ghz band) Next I would chose a channel that has the least amount of traffic/ noise. Don’t let anyone else use this WiFi connection. There should be almost 0 lag. I did this to set up my Xbox and PS remote play. Works almost perfectly. Try it out. Might need a tri-band router.

I’m really really loving this emulator!! 🙌🏾

I really like the Delta emulator, but it would be absolutely perfect if it offered more than just Nintendo consoles.

I’ve been having a blast just using my Xbox controller to play games that are a little more fast paced. Like a Megaman Battlenetwork 3. So sick

I wonder if the USB C pass through on the Razer Kishi controller would allow hdmi cable to also work while using the controller. You’d be wired in, but it’d be perfect sync with TV.

There is no Delta in the app store for me :(

[SGardner]

I might have missed it but where do I get the roms?

If you just want to play Nintendo stuff or games on those platforms then this is way better than those cheap emulation handhelds. Nothing will have a better screen than your phone.

Quick suggestion: Put your microphone in mono mode. It's a bit irritating when the sound is coming slightly from one side.

I just beat castlevania aria of sorrow on delta and had no issues at all. No lag no problems with controller compatibility. Connect and play it’s so seemless

Problem with Delta is lack of upscaling options. That also affects the output quality when casting to a TV

[pipikakachu]

Use a usb-c to hdmi for lagless TV output.

Anyone have an issue with a backbone controller not registering the right stick to a c button for n64 when I map it it’s fine but does not work

[rollingstone]

Delta is Nintendo only. What about MAME and all the other consoles like PSP?
