Delta 1.7b4 - Updates to Multiplayer, Controller Skins, and more!
🕑 Added 2025-01-30 19:54:55 +0000 UTCHappy 2025 Y’all!
To kick off the year, we have a new Delta beta for you with some fun new additions, including a more streamlined setup for DS Online Multiplayer, official support for using skins while a controller is connected, and improvements to the Screenshots feature 🎉
When using DS Online Multiplayer, you can now connect to WFC servers without the need to change the DNS settings yourself! Just select your preferred online server in Core Settings (Nintendo DS) and you’ll be connected automatically when you use Nintendo WFC features. You can choose from 3 preferred servers (Wiimmfi, WFCLink, and AltWC) or provide a custom DNS for another server if you prefer.
We’ve also added a new Game Settings option to the context menu for games in your library so you easily modify settings on a per-game basis. Toggle Open GL ES 3 (N64), choose which GBA cart is being emulated in your Dual Slot (DS), or even choose a different skin for each game!
And speaking of skins, we know many of you have been using skins with controllers unofficially (e.g by changing player 2 to “Touch Screen”), so we’ve now made this an officially supported feature! You’ll now see a “Controller” option at the top of the skin selection screen so that you can set a preferred skin for when a controller is connected.
Lastly, we’re preparing the “Game Screenshot” Experimental Feature for a public release so we’ve made the screenshot option appear by default in the pause menu. You can also map this directly to a controller button or use a skin with the dedicated “screenshot” button! Additionally, you will see a notification whenever a screenshot is taken letting you know it’s been added to a dedicated “Delta Screenshots” album in Photos. This feature was originally submitted to us by LitRitt - you can see his other work on GitHub including his very own fork of Delta, Ignited
Our next update will be 1.7rc, and we'll be focusing on fixing up bugs before releasing 1.7 for everyone, so please let us know if you run into any issues!
Best,
Riley + Shane

PPSSPP exists for psp emulation, and gamecube won’t work, since apple doesn’t allow JIT
TY and Co.
would be cool

Can we get a tutorial for how to play Mario kart ds online?

I can’t rely my Patreon with my AltStore accs

Is Ad-Hoc multiplayer (Local proximity multiplayer that doesn’t need connection to the internet) possible on iOS? All games require online connection. That would be the ultimate move for Delta, aside from all the cool things they are already doing. I miss the days where we could play multiplayer with a friend close by without the need for internet. Hopefully this is something that’s in the distant horizon for Delta.

I want the Delta beta on my iPhone, but I don’t have PAL
Brayden Nolan
Do we have a date for the public release as I want to trade with friends using the emulator and most of the people I know don’t want to pay a subscription to use an online mode
Proud Kangaroo
Are you talking about DS online multiplayer
Alejandro Nicanor Blanco Gomez
No renuevo esta suscripción patética la forma más fácil de robar su dinero alguen
Matt Marotta

Matt Marotta

Alejandro Nicanor Blanco Gomez
Paying for this subscription is a rip-off, there is almost no difference with the original.
Pacnano
Is there a way to force the app icons to ignore the light/dark mode settings on your device? I like the light versions of the Patreon icons but it always forces them to be dark mode because of my phone app appearance settings.
Proud Kangaroo

Hypersoni00

Danielboi78

Jacob Armstrong
whens multiplayer coming to the app store delta emulator tho??
Piximator
Dunno if it’s still an issue since I don’t have beta access atm - but when I was, I experienced a crash loading up Donkey Kong 64 when OpenGL ES 3.0 was enabled. It otherwise fixes every graphical issue I’ve encountered for other games, so if the issue persists that could be something to look into 🙏
