Add more support
First off, love this so much, but there is a lot of untapped potential. Add support for Xbox, psp, Wii, and so on, so we can really get a blast to the past. Overall good work tho

2024-05-02
Works flawlessly
No problems at all, using external controllers is surprisingly very easy and pre configured. 10/10
2024-05-02
Love it
Best app in the App Store. Love the middle finger to big N
2024-05-02
Great App
Works great on my iPhone 13. Would be nice if I could use it on my iPad mini that only goes to iOS 12, but says I need iOS 14 minimum.
2024-05-01
Well produced
My only problem with this is the joystick placement and the sensitivity of it. If fixed, this would be perfect.
2024-04-30
Nearly perfect
I’ve used Delta off and on for many months, and this app is nearly perfect!
There does seem to be a bug or a glitch in audio though, where at times there will be no sound regardless of whether or not something else is playing audio. Sadly, this results in zero game audio even though there is nothing else playing or even attempting to play.

Awesomeness! But maybe a idea
It’s a great emulator for iOS, it took a long way for it, but here’s a thing, if you update it, maybe change the emulator of mupen64plus to a another n64 emulator, mupen64 has a small black box, so maybe change it to 4:3 it can stretch to the top, and move the mapping of the controls, the n64 one bothers me, and a frame rate counter, that be cool, and change the iPad thingy, like we have to use iPhones for better experience, but maybe give it more comfortable touch for the iPad users, but still this is the greatest emulator I seen for the iOS, fake ones just keep using the word “FREE EMULATOR FOR IOS NOT VIRUS!1!” They are so annoying, thank you for this emulator
2024-04-29
Wifi Connection
support ds wfc! I would love to play with friends.
2024-04-29
Easy to setup and play
This works amazingly, has a lot of awesome features
2024-04-29
Best Emulator
It is free and open source. Its not scummy either with locking features behind paywalls like another emulator.
2024-04-29
10/10
Wicked emulator, can’t wait till more consoles are supported
2024-04-29
Goodbye TestFlight shenanigans
I’ve been waiting for emulators to come to the native AppStore for 15 years. Thank you, Delta, for being so quick to launch now that the gates are finally open. And for braving the ire of corporations like Nintendo, who would love to keep the gates locked under their key indefinitely.
Emulation is essential to provide accessible access to gaming history. Cheers.
2024-04-29
Issue with audio
So when I'm in any sort of call from any app, I can't seem to hear the audio off the emulator and games. I'm not sure if this is a me problem or the apps problems
2024-04-28
Add 3ds!!!!
add 3ds plesse i’m begging
2024-04-28
Visual Bugs for N64
I was looking forward to playing Majoras Mask, but there is a visual bug with the clock that ruins the experience. Some other games work fine but it’s mostly consolation compared to the game that I actually want to play.
2024-04-28
Beautiful
I Love it I love the look of the UI just please add Sega Genesis Games playable
2024-04-28
Beat emulator I’ve played!
It’s so perfect and I love the design of the controllers. Cannot wait for more emulators to come.
2024-04-28
Excellent emulator
Works very well and smoothly with any game on the list
2024-04-28
Amazing emulator.
I love this app. It’s quick and simple, great performance. Can’t wait to have more consoles on it.
2024-04-28
No audio
Fantastic app but no audio. Anyone know how to fix?
2024-04-28
Amazing!
Technology has certainly come a long way. Thank you for bringing nostalgic classics to life, at the palm of your hands !
2024-04-28
Nothing wrong
Perfect just be careful of the Nintendo ninjas lol
2024-04-28
OG
Always loved this app even before it was released in the app store, works phenomenally and has all the old nintendo consoles you could ever want. Tried other emulators but delta is just the one in terms of quality, bugs, and performance.
2024-04-28
The best iOS emulator for years to come
This emulator is one of the best I have ever used. Having many consoles in one app is just great. One thing about it though, could you try to enable multiplayer? Also, when I screenshare on discord, my friends and I can’t hear anything. Maybe it’s a bug? If you know what the problem is, could you try to fix it? It’s not really a big deal, but I would still appreciate it!
2024-04-27
Can we get an iPadOS version
I wouldve given five stars if it had iPad support
2024-04-27
Great but sound issues
It looks and runs great but has no sound not sure if it on my end or your but thought I let you know all great minus sound
2024-04-27

2024-04-27

2024-04-27
Incredible: THANK YOU!
Wow
2024-04-27
Incredible
I never thought a day would come when I can have fun playing amazing games on my iPhone that I couldn’t afford to play on the DS and gameboy. I hope they bring Nintendo 3DS support.
2024-04-27
Amazing emulator
It’s finally here! Works great. I love playing my old games with this app.
2024-04-27
Crème de la Crème of emulators
I’ve been following this devs work for years and this is truly made with love of gaming. Couldn’t be happier to see it in the App Store. It’s amazing!
2024-04-27
This app is amazing
i love how simple and easy it is to use; hopefully you’ll be adding the dreamcast to it soon.
2024-04-27
Add psp
Would put 6 stars if there was a psp emulator also
2024-04-26
Gameboy Green
The gameboy emu should have the option for a green background colour for the original feel.
2024-04-26
Some games still crash it, black textures on some n64 games
Excellent UI, but not bug free unfortunately
2024-04-26
No sound
Sound not working..
2024-04-26
Looking forward to an iPad version
Can wait for an iPad version!!
2024-04-26
Almost Perfect
It works flawlessly on my iPhone. I love being able to play my old favourite games. I wish there was iPad support.
2024-04-26
Best app on App Store
Mobile game are trash nowadays, playing GBA and DS game on mobile is so easy with this. No lag, no input delay. It’s been the only mobile "game" I’ve been using for about 2 weeks now. Thanks
2024-04-26
Fix save error
The app is amazing however when I go to save my progress on Pokémon platinum it keeps on saying ‘saving error’ is there any solution to it?
2024-04-26
Seeing this on the App Store brings a tear to my eye
All emulators in this app work flawlessly out of the box, ds works if you know how to read and use the menu. The perfect all in one retro emulator for iPhone.
I’ve been playing retro games on emulators since I was but a child. And when I heard years ago that there was an all in one emulator for iOS (that you had to jump through some hoops to get) I knew instantly I must try it. And so years of using delta came and went. However I kept forgetting to renew my “usage license” of sorts and would have to reinstall the whole thing over often. Apple finally pulling the restriction for emulators has been a great decision. And seeing delta emulator finally have its rightful spot on the App Store (for free no less) really is a great sight to see. All that’s left is for Apple to allow JIT so DolphiniOS can join the roster.
2024-04-26
Easy to use and great emulator on apple
No ads, only thing that can make this better is please add gamecube emulation
2024-04-26
Perfect! Amazing! ABSOLUTELY CONVENIENT!
Now I can play DS games from my phones, as well as N64 games! Thank you for the amazing app 😎
2024-04-26
Best app ever made
I have never rated an app before, much less feel compelled to leave a comment but this app is the best friggin emulator I’ve ever used,I wish I could be alone and alive forever just so I can play all the games.
2024-04-26
AMAZING APP
cant express how grateful
i am to be reminiscing though old nostalgia, would love to see even more console roms become available in the future!!
this app is incredible, the functionality.. airplay support and being able to use a controller!
skin customization as well is a great finish!
2024-04-25
Amazing but…
I love this app I can play games from my childhood like Pokémon Mario and so much more I wish they had more consoles like game cube but hopefully that will come in the future
2024-04-25
Finding so great retro gems
So happy the Iphone finally has its own emulator, I’ve been emulating these handheld consoles on a physical emulator tor a while now, but the convenience of having an emulator on my phone is awesome. Now whenever I have free time I boot up Delta and play a couple GBA games. My only gripe is the lack of online features but I understand those are very hard to implement and get working so I’m still giving this a five stars.
2024-04-20
Sound
I caaaaant hear anything :(
2024-04-19
Been Waiting for This
I’ve used Delta for many years, great to see the app finally reach the App Store. Hands down best mobile emulator. Congrats to the team
2024-04-18
Amazing and works flawless
This is an amazing app that works perfectly with any rom from the approved list of consoles
Thank you for being awesome!
2024-04-18
Simply the best.
Don’t fall for scummy emulator apps, this is the classiest nicest one that works the best. The developer is legit and he’s done an amazing job.
It took Apple way too long to allow emulators, but very glad one of the best options showed up immediately once the floodgates opened
2024-04-18
Amazing!
I can’t believe it! After all these years I can finally play game boy games on my iPhone!
This app is absolutely amazing, it loaded all my ROMs with no issues. The game play is super smooth, the interface is very nice, and I was pleasantly surprised when I turned my phone to the side and saw that you can play in landscape mode with a larger viewing area!
I haven’t been this excited about a new app in many years, I can’t wait to give some old games a new play!
2024-04-17
The best emulator on iOS
The best emulator on iOS with exceptionally great UI and user experience.
2024-04-17
Needs RetroAchievements support
Great emulator, but until it supports achievements RetroArch is a better option for emulating on iOS.
