so press the A button and the emulator just presses the A button ingame without hassle?
Also can you make the on screen buttons disappear that way? would like full screen experience without the onscreen buttons then if possible :O
Emulation on iOS |OT| ... in the palm of my hand (Update: Retroarch Released)

You can try all this stuff now by pairing an external controller. I've been testing it with an old DS4 I have laying around.
The answers to your questions are yes, yes, and yes.
ow yeah I'm so used that stuff not working with iOS completely forgot that it also playstation controllers work with the phone :D
thanks for all the info going to try it soon.
Has there been any word on retroarch? I need me some run ahead/shaders/fast forward/interger scaling
I think if you release an app on a third party store, you're blocked from also releasing on the App Store.
Those are the new rules.
If you're in an Alternate Marketplace in the EU, you can't be in the official App Store in the EU. It's one or the other.
I got a Backbone One for Delta and it works really well.
Unfortunately, you can't map any button to a couple of the buttons on the controller as they are used for the backbone app. For platforms like the DS or SNES you have to map start or select to something like the two trigger buttons behind the shoulder buttons.

Sooooo is there any way to trade Pokemon using delta? Currently playing Ruby but can't get any cheat codes to work to get certain Pokemon to appear
I was able to map start and select to the bottom left and right most buttons (not the home or screen record backbone buttons but the others). You lose the Delta menu as a physical button, but can easily just rotate your phone back and use the one screen button.
There's probably an easier way but you could always transfer your save over to a PC/Modded 3/DS and use Pokemon Bank/PKSM or other tools.
Hi,
The fast forward button on Delta isn't working for me with DS. I tap it and it's highlighted but the game continues to run at normal speed. Is there a fix or does it just not work for DS?

Maybe your device can't run it any faster? I've noticed some slowdown in DS games on mine, and I've also seen the fast forward working in a simpler game.
I spot a rival, I'm on LeafGreen ;P
I can't believe I'm playing FireRed on my iPhone lol 😭

I created a custom skin for Delta emulator on iOS so we can play MaBoShi DS in style.
https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/202...he-delta-classic-video-game-emulator-for-ios/
- combines both screens into one
- normal portrait iPhone orientation
- leaves a gap at the top for notch/dynamic island
- nice big d-pad in the centre of the display
- most of the screen is actually a button
- let's aim for 1 MILLION points!
Awesome - I'll highlight it in the OP.
I am having trouble importing saves.
I have my PC rom saves going to my NAS. I long press the game I want, import the latest save. When the game opens, the save isnt there.
Am I missing a step here?

You could create a UK or US apple account and download it - that's how I got apps for stuff like Peacock.
Other emulators will be released though, it's only an issue with Delta - if you want to wait for Ignited, RetroArch, etc.
In my 100% anecdotal, 0% rigorous test of a phone on wifi to a wired aTV, the video is in sync but the audio (to a wired soundbar) runs about half a second behind.
Started playing with this and I practically can't believe it! Amazing
Just in the spirit of making sure these apps stay on the App Store, seems a bit dangerous to enable the share menu though? One click of that and you can iMessage a rom file to someone… probably wise to remove that if they want to have no way to enable users illegally sharing files?

Now that I got my backbone adapter it feels much more like a portable! My only complaint is I wish they found a way to make the backbone collapse in more so it had a smaller form factor off my phone.
Between Delta, Apple arcade, and XBX/PS5 streaming, iphone is quickly becoming my most used gaming device! I just need Moonlight set up on my phone/pc and I'll pretty much be able to play everything not on switch on my phone :)

Should I play the series in order and if so should I do the Mother and Mother 2 translations or Mother 1-Earthbound-Mother 3?
2 and 3 are worth it, but you can probably skip 1.
3 doesn't need any enhancements.
2 has a great QoL hack that is worth using:
MaternalBound Redux
[b]MaternalBound Redux[/b] is a full revamp hack of the original EarthBound with tons of Quality of
The first Mother game is excruciating to play without patches. I wouldn't describe it as "bad" in terms of design, but it is tedious and because of its more basic technology its presentation is constrained in ways that were only unblocked when the series went 16-bit.
Thanks. I updated the skin yesterday to include instructions when the phone is in landscape orientation.
If that works out, I guess I will need to get a backbone again just to have with me with my iphone 15 pro. Playing psx rpgs on the go sounds like a dream. I do have my steam deck but I never leave my house with it despite having a case.
I've just tried this out on my iPhone, and yeah I'm impressed! I have noticed a few audio hiccups in certain games though (like Super Metroid for one, where there seems to be pops/clicks in the audio), but other than that it's been a pretty smooth experience.
I liked it so much, I purchased the 8BitDo Zero 2 controller from Amazon. It's super small, but I'm used to the Game Boy Micro and it'll be nice to have something like that in my pocket for when I want to play a quick game of something while I'm on-the-go.

Play! looks like it has an iOS port but it seems that anything Dreamcast and newer requires JIT so it's out of the question on the App Store
Pokémon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire really fits well for phones. Usually I do some quick bursts of session while in transit.
Playing Drill Dozer, Elite Beat Agents and Rhythm Tengoku. Such a fun way to finally check out these games I missed. Also Warioware Twisted is the perfect mobile game hahaa
I have a 12 hour flight this weekend, this is perfect. Now I don't have to carry my Switch. Been curious about Drill Dozer for years now, no excuses now!
Does locking the phone rotation always default to portrait mode? I want to lock the rotation to play WarioWare Twisted properly with the Backbone controller, but it keeps reverting to portrait instead of staying in landscape mode.
No Dolphin confirmed

Updated the OP with gingerbeardman's controller skin, an update regarding Provenance and confirmation from the dev that DolphiniOS won't be releasing:
DolphiniOS developer OatmealDome has confirmed they cannot release DolphiniOS essentially due to the JIT stuff I detailed above. You can find out more (and a much better, more technical explanation of JIT) on their blog post confirming the news here.

Been side loading RetroArch for for a while now. So to see Delta and other emulators have native support is amazing. I wish Delta supported Retro Achievements :(
Hopefully RetroArch does in fact get added to the App Store and it takes the Alt Store side loading steps away!

Oh man this is sweet, just noticed it last night. Went from android to iPhone when the 15 came out. One of the few things missing. Already have a backbone with ps remote play.
Is there a turbo button/feature for DS? Or only GBA?
Edit: I'm a dummy it was in the menu under fast forward

I'm really liking Delta so far, yet I'm already looking forward to the next wave of releases. I guess Ignited really has my interest because of iPad support. I'd love to use a NSO SNES controller with an iPad and an emulator, particularly as we're on the cusp of new iPad 12.9 announcements.
I guess the biggest barrier in the long run is gonna be JIT, but I'm not sure I understand where emulation becomes unfeasible without it. PS2 and onward ?

Hopefully there will be a release of Delta or something else that properly supports the iPad and Apple TV. The blown up phone apps look and function terribly especially on the 12.9" model.

The AltStore (original, not PAL) supports iPad for Patreon users. I'm going to try it and report it.
Not sure how official alternative stores work with iPad tho. However as they've done the dev work they might release the iPad version officially.
They don't, sadly. Apple have only opened up to iOS stores, as they had no obligation for iPadOS.
I'm curious to see if Delta will eventually release a dedicated iPad app on the App Store, and that's a reason I'm looking forward to ignited as they'll go through the AppStore in the EU and explicitly support iPadOS.
Man, I've been struggling playing with the virtual D-pad and buttons. Especially the two button commands like running and jumping. Also struggling with the D-pad. Need to pick up a 13 Mini-compatible controller that ideally works with a case attached.
