Delta 1.7b1 - Online Multiplayer is HERE
🕑 Added 2024-10-24 14:57:22 +0000 UTCHowdy Patrons!
Today we have something very special for you! Finally one of our most requested features is ready for beta testing - Online Multiplayer 🎮 🛜 🎮
For the first time ever, you can connect to other Delta players online with the same Nintendo WFC experience you remember - get ready to share those Friend Codes! This is some real old-school net code, but it still works 😄 This should work with any game that supports Nintendo WFC, which means you'll be able to trade Pokemon, race your friends in Mario Kart, visit each other's Animal Crossing islands, and more!
However, you'll need to do a few things first to get set up, which is why we put together a guide on our FAQ with everything you need to know: https://faq.deltaemulator.com/using-delta/online
Plus we even added something new in Experimental Features for fans of N64 — OpenGL ES 3 support! We've enabled this by default, and it should fix many common graphical issues, including the timer in Majora's Mask 👹 And for the real nerds out there, you can now directly edit the Mupen64Plus config file to take advantage of more advanced features like custom resolutions and even texture packs!
And last but not least, we couldn’t have done all this without the amazing work done by Arisotura on melonDS. Please check out their Patreon and consider supporting them!!
Best,
Riley + Shane

I’m wondering if it’s possible for local multiplayer to become a thing. Is that possible and a feature in consideration? It would be especially cool to be able to use DS Download Play or emulate Link Cable functionality on GBC/GBA
Riley + Shane
Yup! Here’s our guide for more info https://faq.deltaemulator.com/using-delta/online-multiplayer

Brief update: I then put in all my IP stuff and it said ‘able to connect to access point but not to server, check WiFi settings etc’ (my WiFi is working fine)
Theo
Hey guys - just became a patron so I could try out the online service! I feel like I have done exactly what was explained in the instructions multiple times, but I keep coming back to ‘unable to obtain an IP address’ as an error. Any tips? I think it may be me getting blocked because I don’t have a unique Nintendo WFC identifier, but maybe not, cause I have reset the configuration and restarted my game as prompted several times now
Trey Hamilton
Hi! Is this available for free on the App Store yet? Thanks! -Trey
Dan An
Thank you so much. Can you please add the cheat engine to the Genesis Beta?
Casket .
Yup but they should its be so much easier to beta test it on ios instead of sideloading
Josh Woolard
They don’t make a test flight
Casket .
They should just make a test flight link for ios user who payed for the patreon
Josh Woolard
You can download it in the US, but it’s more complicated. Just look up how to install altstore on YouTube
Casket .
When i go to the alt store it says its only available to download on iPhone in eu
Josh Woolard
What do you mean?
Casket .
Are we not allowed beta in the us because if not may you please cancel my subscription to the patreon for me
Damien Wilks
Do you have a friend code for Mario Kart?
Josh Woolard
Glad to help
Damien Wilks
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it, I found some bios files that were dumped and they worked like a charm. I don’t see the need to enter anything in the secondary DNS but if that adjustment needs to be done then I will do so. Thank you.
Cameron
Just fyi, I tried deleting and reinstalling the latest version and n64 still crashes the app at launch
Josh Woolard
I tried that 2 times and it still doesn’t work
Josh Woolard
I went to the Files app went to on my iPhone delta and Mupen64Plus config and deleted the file. Is that what you meant if it was it didn’t work.
Riley + Shane
Quick update on N64 - seems like the issue arises specifically after updating from the previous version of Delta. Will be looking into it more today, but if you have your data synced you can try reinstalling the latest version.
Josh Woolard
If you don’t have DS bios then you’ll have to put it in every time
Riley + Shane
To anyone here, you may try deleting the game's config file and see if that fixes it. We are also doing further testing ourselves and will update you if we find another solution!
Shavin25
Me too, any fix?
Josh Woolard
How to fix Go into the game you want to work with go to the online play go to WFC settings options erase Nintendo WFC configuration it will kick you out the game just reload it go back to Nintendo WFC settings Nintendo Wi-Fi connection settings choose one of the three slots search for an access point give it a second and then click on melonAP click OK and then I’ll test connection after that done click back on Nintendo Wi-Fi configuration settings go into the slot that says ready scroll all the way to the bottom to where it says auto obtain DNS turn off and then use the servers primary DNS 178.62.43.212 secondary DNS 178.62.43.212 save Settings and it should work. Keep in mind if you have not imported bio files you will have to re-enter secondary DNS and primary DNS every time you wanna play.

I have issues making a trade when I added a friend code in union room for black and white 2 For Mario Kart the races don’t work due failed connection
Tanner Risner
Thank you so much, this is so awesome! I got it working in Pokémon Black 2, and got a friend code, but can’t seem to get the settings to save. I have to put the DNS settings in every time I open up the app.
Kirby
Incredible!!!
Josh Woolard
I’m also having the same issue iPad and iphone
Lixef
So does this mean those that have installed through the Apple App Store don’t have access to this?
David PUBERT
Same issue on iPad Pro 3rd gen (11 inches M1) and iPadOS 18.0.1 (22A3370)
Léon Melein
Same issue here on an iPhone 15 Pro, installed through AltStore PAL
Riley + Shane
We just reuploaded, so let us know if you still can't download.
David PUBERT
I just tried to play the N64, but the games crash as soon as they launch, with or without the option enabled. On iPhone 13 and AltStore PAL and iOS 18.0.1 (22A3370)

David Ryan
It’s just saying “not found”
Riley + Shane
You can find it in our pinned post for IPA downloads!
Spleepy
does this mean multiplayer is eventually coming to other games? like GBA games, SNES games, NES games, anything with multiplayer?
David Ryan
The IPA seems to be missing
Mark
😍
