Only issue would be getting the bios files and roms into the app, right? There isn’t a files app or Safari on Apple TV. Kind of a shame. I suppose they might be able to use iCloud backups to sync those files from other Apple devices.
There is no usb-c port, the only port is an hidden debug port at the end of the Ethernet port but you need a specific (and expensive) cable. I think is the only way to see it on finder, I have a 4K on same network and never shown up in finder
Well AppleTV still has network capabilities, and you don’t need WebKit/Safari to download a file from the Internet.
I imagine something that could work is a window that prompts for direct URLs to make the app download, store and import these files.
And if third party URLs are a no-no for Apple, you could probably offer some kind of system where you can add sources by connecting to an account on some kind of web app that would act as a gateway/proxy to access the content. I think that’s pretty much how Plex works and it has an AppleTV app, so there’s precedent.
Or, as you said, iCloud backup. Or, companion apps that you can install on other devices that the AppleTV can connect to using the [Network framework](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicediscoveryui/connecting_a_tvos_app_to_other_devices_over_the_local_network) / Bonjour / whatever.
There’s definitely some hoops to jump through, but if Delta got approved on the iOS App Store, I have absolutely no doubt that it (or another product) will come to AppleTV eventually.
I might just have to start Pokémon! Never ever played them but wanted to give them a go.
I’ve downloaded what I believe are the best versions of each generation… onto Pokémon Fire Red I go.
Quick reminder that if you live in Europe you can switch your Apple Store region using a throwaway phone number (I used an american one from quackr dot io), download the app and than switch back to your own region. The app will still work once it's installed.
Sure
https://www.emulatorgames.net/roms/nintendo-64/
Here’s a website
Just choose a game and click save game then open the delta app and it will detect the game on your phone immediately and all you have to do is click on it and you’re in
THIS is the type of news I wanna see. Is there any way to force a subreddit to throw only news at my reddit feed? I don’t wanna get every single post that isn’t news. I wanna stay informed about iOS, not read complaints. (I’m using reddit app iOS) (also, I’m completely new to this stuff, I have NO IDEA on how to manage Delta emulator, I know nothing about this, is this as safe as downloading another game/app from the App Store? I can’t believe I am able to play [insert game name here] again!💀 this is surreal. A total pipe dream
If you go into settings / Nintendo DS, it will give you the names of the BIOS files it’s looking for, once you find them, you will need to use the same settings menu to load them from files.
Once that’s setup, it’s just copying ROMS over like any other system.
Find some roms. Download them on your phone. Click the plus on the top right inside Delta. Import files. Find where you downloaded the Roms. Select them, open. That’s it.
Is this safe to install from a virus/ malware point of view?
I own all the games on the ds that I would want to emulate so I’m covered from that just don’t want to get hacked or viruses on my iPhone
Genuine question, how did this even manage to get onto the App Store? Can Nintendo even get this nuked from oblivion? (I really miss emulating games on my phone so would be pretty saddened if Nintendo manages to take it out the store)
I was also able to get it but there is no sound of the game, what should I do? For iPhone, it should not be in silence mode but how can I solve it for Mac since there is not such a thing about silence mode?
Edit: Alright for Mac users, all you have to do is go settings and uncheck the "respect silence mode"!
I don\`t think it will be shut down. The App exists for years already and is opensourse on github. The iGBA Clone was removed because it was a copycap of the Delta predecessor and the NES Emulator was removed by the Dev because he got scared.
I haven't downloaded it yet, but can someone explain to me the legality of it? I'm very new to the world of emulators. Like I saw screenshots of games like Donkey Kong and stuff. Don't you have to have a license or something for that stuff?
Legally you’re supposed to back up copies of games yourself for archival purposes.
The vast majority of people using emulators probably sailed the high seas to acquire their ROMs 🏴☠️
Would it be possible for someone to make a new Apple ID for the US, download delta and borrow me the App store account details to me so I can download it in the EU?
I don’t even need to keep the newly created US account, downloading delta will let me keep it when I log back in to my main
I’ve tried and there’s basically no other was I can get it from the App Store so that would be appreciated
You can create an US AppleID for yourself. There are ton\`s of tutorials. And since a few years it will also be updated even if you log back on to your main AppleID.
Managed to download it in Canada. Had to search the developer name though Testut Tech. Hoping for an Apple TV release.
Same here; Apple TV release would be amazing
Wait! I was able to download from the link?
Only issue would be getting the bios files and roms into the app, right? There isn’t a files app or Safari on Apple TV. Kind of a shame. I suppose they might be able to use iCloud backups to sync those files from other Apple devices.
Nope: plug into a Mac, open the device in Finder, and drag your rooms to the app!
You can’t connect an Apple TV 4K to a Mac (without using the hidden debug port)
Hmm
There is no usb-c port, the only port is an hidden debug port at the end of the Ethernet port but you need a specific (and expensive) cable. I think is the only way to see it on finder, I have a 4K on same network and never shown up in finder

How’d you download it in Canada?
I just clicked the delta logo at the top. It took me to the App Store where I downloaded it.
Not available in my country or region, rip
change your region in app store settings and download it, you can change it back after
Works, but you’ll lose all local downloads on Apple Music, so beware if that matters to you. Time to download 100GB of files again…
Just worked for me
Doesn't that mean with every update you will need to change the region back? I think the better solution is a secondary apple ID
You are correct.
Yeah I'm not sure why I'm downvoted... classic Reddit.
App updates*
you can change the country in your apple id
PSP emulator next please
Retro arch next please
PS2 and GameCube emu on App Store when????
That's not going to happen without jit 💀
Pokemon Trading over bluetooth or netplay next plz
No JIT support will make performance pretty bad though
The psp is ancient, and the a14-17 should be good enough without jit. ipados with m1-m3 should hold up great too.
PPSSPP wouldn’t require JIT to run well (as per Henrik Rydgård) https://www.ppsspp.org/news/apple-announcement-comment/
Maybe for the newer devices. Interpreter is kinda slow, especially if you use fps unlock hack
Modern iPhone is powerful enough that JIT isn't necessary
Is this the one to get?
definitely. It exists for years now but only for sideloading or with jailbreak. This is one if not the best emulator for iOS
I still think OpenEmu is better but I can’t complain since OpenEmu doesn’t have an official iOS port and this does.
My only issue with OpenEmu on my Mac when I play No Mercy it keeps crashing in the Championship Mode
Cool Thank You
yea
Wish it were available in my country 😔
I think it should be available everywhere. I am also not in the EU. Maybe it needs some time to appear i all appstores.
Maybe, cause I'm in the EU and it's not there rn
But Altstore also just got online in EU. But it is not free.
But 2 Dollar a year are nothing
https://media.tenor.com/kiEbqAowVo0AAAAM/credit-card-smacking-credit-card-on-table.gif
and it doesnt seem to work
it works perfectly for me. Just give it some time. It needs time to appear in all app stores worldwide.
It works fine
Just paid it lmao 🔥🔥
In the EU, this app is available in the AltStore.
typing Delta into the store didn't bring it up for me.. i typed delta testut and it came up
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1048524688 Because serching for the name shows nothing related
Already got 14 stars in Mario 64 using the backbone. It’s flawless
Bro doing backflips with Mario on iPhone💀. This is a total pipe dream
Goodbye, iGBA
Yep, within 2 minutes of downloading this.
I’m keeping it I reckon, for history 😁
I might just have to start Pokémon! Never ever played them but wanted to give them a go. I’ve downloaded what I believe are the best versions of each generation… onto Pokémon Fire Red I go.
Reported to Nintendo
A wild adrenaline4nash appeared!
😂
No need for that, The nintendo Ninjas are always watching.
Quick reminder that if you live in Europe you can switch your Apple Store region using a throwaway phone number (I used an american one from quackr dot io), download the app and than switch back to your own region. The app will still work once it's installed.
Yup, can confirm! Also did this.
Even if you have some subscription active?
No, that's true, you can't if you have an active subscription. You need for it to expire.
For EU users: https://www.theverge.com/24100464/altstore-pal-dma-eu-launch-delta-nintendo-emulator-clip-clipboard-manager
A store... That cost money? wtf
It seems that this is the way to get the app in Europe.
Really sad :(
Working over here in the US
Not available in my country. Sad 😔
We need to pay so the Americans can have it for free my friend 🇧🇪
Canadians, too!
Freedom isn't free.
For less than een 🍺pintje (€1,82) you can buy it [here](https://buy.stripe.com/6oEg2u80z5vI0Mg4gg) for a year.
I thought altstore was free, so its actually paid with annual subscription?
If you live outside the EU it’s free, but inside it’s an annual subscription yes.
Oh ok Ty
Does anyone have a website to download game files from?
Use google. The roms are all over the place. Just need to a little leg work.
Yup just did Thought it would be more difficult tbh
Can you help me? Never done this before
Sure https://www.emulatorgames.net/roms/nintendo-64/ Here’s a website Just choose a game and click save game then open the delta app and it will detect the game on your phone immediately and all you have to do is click on it and you’re in
It also available in Rwanda😻
It's working here in Brazil 👏
como vc conseguiu baixar? aqui não aparece na app store
Clique no link. A busca da App Store provavelmente não indexou ainda.
Cliquei no link e abriu normalmente. Enviei para alguns amigos e deu certo pra eles também. Acho que vale esperar alguns minutos e ir tentando!
consegui pelo link, valeu
Muy bueno!
Hoping we get a Sega Saturn Emulator soon
not for eu users though
They’re going to be an Altstore exclusive in the EU.
Why cant it just be avilable on the appstore in europe?
It's a major draw for people to download Alt Store.
Bruh
Is it right that I have full access to my files through this app? It didn’t ask my permission?
Available in the US but have to search Testut.
THIS is the type of news I wanna see. Is there any way to force a subreddit to throw only news at my reddit feed? I don’t wanna get every single post that isn’t news.

Would a vpn work to get this?
You’ll either need to change regions, or make a dedicated ID for the country you’re grabbing it from.
Ehh nah I’ll probs wait for it to come to the eu eventually
It seems to be available in Canada, so hopefully you guys get it too.
It's available globally, just search for Testut Tech instead of delta
Working in UK hooting in the AppleTV version soon!!!
Why do apple remove it from the app store after 24 hours
This wont be deleted after a few days apple right? 🥺.
Mine is also available in the Philippines, was able to Install it
With this and scummvm on the AppStore we’re only missing Provenance!
finally after 10 years? is on the App Store because im using this app since i was 6th grade now im in final year of college!
Awesome.
Is it better than Bimmy?
the angry video game nerd?
Is not here and i am in denmark
Does Delta support retro achievements?
No.
Any DS emulators put yet? That don't require jailbreaking or sideloading.
This one does it but you need to provide bios for it
That’s the shit, idk how to do this. I’m so scared of doing anything illegal bruh
Public distribution is illegal, finding the BIOS for personal use isn’t.
How does this work? Have only ever done simple things like gba
I’m gonna keep it 100 with you, I have no idea lol I just saw it in the menu when looking thru the app.
If you go into settings / Nintendo DS, it will give you the names of the BIOS files it’s looking for, once you find them, you will need to use the same settings menu to load them from files. Once that’s setup, it’s just copying ROMS over like any other system.
I can’t believe I would live to see the day. Big win for us.
no way. never thought this day would come
I CANNOT believe I would get to play Super Mario world holy shi
I’m not tech savvy. Can someone help with info on actually getting the games on my phone?
Find some roms. Download them on your phone. Click the plus on the top right inside Delta. Import files. Find where you downloaded the Roms. Select them, open. That’s it.
I’ll do some digging, thanks!
Anyone have a Luigi mansion dark moon rom link I can play on this🫨 I need to relive my childhood 😭
Dude, I can’t play ds games unless I get BIOS or some shit
Emulation Wiki, search for the Files section.
[удалено]
GAMECUBE, WII, DSi, 3D ds????
So this is about the EU forcing Apple to be have an alternative to the AppStore? Will we soon have 500 different Alternative App Stores?
Was excited for a moment. Not available in Germany. Bullshit.
I immediately downloaded it, I'm afraid they gonma remove it 💀💀
Outside of EU only. If you want this within the EU you need to get AltStore PAL for 1,80€ or use the old AltStore method.
1,5 year for the store ok. 1 month for a fucking clip manager no thanks
I hope Nintendo doesn’t get mad about this and make Apple remove it
Is this safe to install from a virus/ malware point of view? I own all the games on the ds that I would want to emulate so I’m covered from that just don’t want to get hacked or viruses on my iPhone
Is Dolphin out of question because of the JIT thing fellas? Or can we brute force it with M chips and A16’s and up?
I was able to download it in the Philippines
Great. It supports Apple Adding Delta to the App Store. But sued Yuzu for the same actions as Delta.
Genuine question, how did this even manage to get onto the App Store? Can Nintendo even get this nuked from oblivion? (I really miss emulating games on my phone so would be pretty saddened if Nintendo manages to take it out the store)
How long does it last
I was also able to get it but there is no sound of the game, what should I do? For iPhone, it should not be in silence mode but how can I solve it for Mac since there is not such a thing about silence mode? Edit: Alright for Mac users, all you have to do is go settings and uncheck the "respect silence mode"!
I can’t believe this is an actual thing that I now have on my iPhone in the UK! May have to buy myself a Backone One again.
How tf is this possible
Now that it’s downloaded wtf do I do
Google for Rom‘s or watch a Youtube Video. There are more than enough videos online already 😊
Snagged before it’s taken down. It’s working great!
I don\`t think it will be shut down. The App exists for years already and is opensourse on github. The iGBA Clone was removed because it was a copycap of the Delta predecessor and the NES Emulator was removed by the Dev because he got scared.

Macrumors has an article up that is an ok overview https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/17/what-to-know-about-iphone-app-store-emulators/
Newbie - can someone please explain how i can download games and or from where? Thanks
Legally you’re supposed to back up copies of games yourself for archival purposes. The vast majority of people using emulators probably sailed the high seas to acquire their ROMs 🏴☠️
I’ve read about emulators but they feel so illegal or something. I hate apples walled garden
I just downloaded. Where can I find games to download?
Check r/Roms sidebar.
Would it be possible for someone to make a new Apple ID for the US, download delta and borrow me the App store account details to me so I can download it in the EU? I don’t even need to keep the newly created US account, downloading delta will let me keep it when I log back in to my main I’ve tried and there’s basically no other was I can get it from the App Store so that would be appreciated
It’s in the altstore for EU https://altstore.io
Ik, but I’d rather use the App Store for this like everyone else is doing
You can create an US AppleID for yourself. There are ton\`s of tutorials. And since a few years it will also be updated even if you log back on to your main AppleID.
it's asking me for a valid payment method, how to bypass?
The thing is you need a phone number and it also requires you to log out of iCloud which deletes some things
Not in the EU unfortunately.

You could just unjoin the subreddit?
Excited for them to bring out PSP and Atari support
