Edit: For those asking where to get ROMs, I can't legally share that on TH-cam. I'm sure you can figure it out with a simple Google search.
What's the first game you're downloading? 🕹
All of them
@@wesleighcharlton lol
None, cuz I can’t find delta
An Apple TV app for this would be epic
None they are ROMs not games
This is a historic day for all of us.
💯
Best birthday present from Apple 🥺👍 childhood on my phone now
@@BrandonButch I was less than a month away from going back to android because of the better emulator support. As soon as this was announced, I cancelled that plan. Happy to see this.
Not for EU citizens…
not for me as a EU
Back in the day I had to mess with the time in the settings and “Trust” this app. We’ve come such a long way
Fr😂
It was one of two reasons I ever wanted to jailbreak: to play gameboy and DS games on my phone and to get free in app purchases
I remember that god
F
I still can’t believe this moment. I have had so much fun replaying my old games again. Time to start the adventures starting Pokemon red working my way through the whole series. Wish me luck!
I just started playing Pokémon black again, I’m super nostalgic for it since it was my first Pokémon game
The last game I ever played was Black, so I'm loading up a Black 2 run to see what I missed
You don’t need luck. What you need is patience
How to download black?
@@HER0_same
Thanks so much bro, I wanted to try out Delta but didn’t know how to work it, this Tutorial really Helped!
No more jailbreaks to play my roms 😭 a truly blessed day
You didn't need to. I've been legally sideloading Delta for years. You just need to log onto your home wifi once a week because it treats it as a developer account. Now I don't have that restriction anymore, which is even better.
@@D8686M I used to do this too, it’s too tedious tho. I appreciate this comment though, there is definitely ways outside of jailbreaks like eclipse on your browser and stuff!
@@D8686Mbut sideloading is a pain, enabling developer config, Renew each 7 days….way better oficial now
Ive been waiting for this since I was in 4th grade doing the date trick.. now I’m 20 😭
@@D8686M Downloading emulators straight from the app store is infinitely more convenient than having to sideload from your pc with AltStore. I await the day for AetherSX2, Citra and Dolphin to come on the app store
36 feeling like 13 again. Thank you Riley T
a true legend
I’m. 13 😂🎉
33 same
Bro is feeling like me
Friggin awesome!!!!
Thanks for this wonderful video!
Thank you Brandon you brought back my childhood ❤ I just downloaded it
My GBA4iOS days 😢
lol the feels
Good old days!! I remember them😢😢
I remember them too 10 years ago
I played the shit out of gba4ios in highschool
@@gamecube.pizzabrokentime flies cuz wtf 😅😅
after a decade, this is finally happening on IOS. what a beautiful moment 👏🏽👏🏽
This changes literally everything! Thank you
Thank you so much. This is a trip back to my childhood. Consoles and games were expensive in my country! But thx to emulators and roms i played EVERYTHING.
This truly amazing! Christmas came early for me! Thanks for the great video Brandon
Ahh after a stressful week of football ⚽️ I needed this, thank you!
Barca fans unite😂
@@Rafa25260 no fr tho I couldn’t handle it anymore 😂
I used this same emulator on iPhone years ago. Glad to see it’s return
Finally!!! I’m so hyped!!! Thanks Brandon!!
Ok wow I never knew how amazing this would be,only after using this do I understand how significant this is,is this seriously real I can’t even believe it!
This having your stamp of approval makes this even more awesome 👏
Such a helpful video. Thanks so much man!
This will be a day long remembered - omg this is awesome!
Also works on the iPad! It works with scaling so it’s not perfect but it’s still bigger than the iPhone screen if you want something bigger
Thank you!!! Hopefully 3DS comes soon! I really want to play Pokemon X
Should be able to do it without shader studder that's a issue with 3ds emulation sometimes. My samsung 24 ultra does pokemon x dam near flawlessly so I'm sure my iphone 13 can when it can do demanding gamecube games full speed.
@@robmalcolm8042 what does that mean is it possible to play 3ds games
@saaimislam1129 there's already a 3ds emulator on iphone it just has to be sideloaded called emu3ds. Just can't get it on the app store as of now
I wanna play animal crossing haha
I've been sideloading Delta for years, and this is great news. Apart from the fact that I no longer need to log onto my home wifi once a week for it to continue working (meaning I can travel with it), it also synced all my saves and games from the sideloaded version, so I didn't lose a thing.
What did you do to download the roms?
@@so1zy In most cases, literally just found them on Google. There's heaps of archive websites that have them if you're looking for specific games. Otherwise you can generally find packs with "every single NES game" etc on torrent sites. I mainly looked for specific games that I already owned the physical cart for, though, because I wanted the nostalgia hit.
@@so1zyjust click on them and save to files
@@so1zy Serously GOOGLE IT! There are many sites providing services to download them.
Thank you for this! I put it on my iPad and got it to AirPlay on my TV. Works just like the NES when I added a controller via Bluetooth.
Works perfect. I love streaming the game to my tv and play for hours
AirPlay works amazingly on SNES, and the iPad or phone is just used as a controller. Played exactly like the original SNES. I’m guessing you could even use a Bluetooth controller or USBC one.
Nice!
I use usb c on my s24 ultra so iphone would be fine with it as well. It's way less lag I use 8 bit do usb wired controller paired to a usb to usb type c adapter and bam. It's better than those attached controllers so you have more room. Cant use it with my iphone 13 tho since thats still lightning. Controller is only like 20 bucks on amazon and I already had the adapter with the phone.
How did you get airplay to work? I connected to tv using the control center but I don't see any casting options on the app
Do you recommend any wired usb c controller?
@KironKabir 8 bit do is 20 on amazon it's just usb only so you need a usb to type c adapter for the actual connection but it's smooth and no lag. If a older iphone then you need a lightning and not sure if there are cheaper ones for that.
My inner child is jumping in excitement. To know that it’s released on my birthday. 👌🏻
Happy belated birthday!
I love it, and it’s really amazing. The only feature I wish for is that when sliding your finger from one button to another it emulates as you pressing both at the same time.
This just made my day! 🙌🏾 Thank you Brandon! 📱♥️
Sweet! Thank you for sharing :)
Amazing, perfect!!!! Im playning my all favorite games!!!
Been playing Link’s Awakening DX this morning. I have an extensive Game Boy cartridge and console selection but it’s cool to know I can play stuff wherever I want.
I’ve been using it since it came out. It works perfectly and is super easy to set up.
This is so AWESOME
Great video man. Didn’t know about the skin customizations.
Thanks for making this easy to understand
Very exciting!!! Already installed many Pokémon games!! 😎🎉
how?
@@cesarinrinthen open files where it says zip! Click on it,it should show a purple delta file when you click on it open the delta app on there’s a + click open downloads and for me I downloaded Pokémon ruby and it instantly showed up
do a simple search and you'll find them.
Can you give the link to the Roma you used
@@jdv637just look up GBA ROMs
I almost never leave a like on any video on yt, but this one deserved it 👍🏻
I hope this app gets on apple tv too!
I think you can airplay your screen and use the phone as a controller
Yes you can use airplay, i tried it yesterday and it works quite good, there is a very small delay in latency but not too bad 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been running Eclipse on iOS for years and still works perfectly! No jailbreak or sideload needed
Yooooo it’s legit I got it working so freakin happy I have Pokémon everywhere I go now
Holy shit this is bigger than the next iPhone announcement. The only reason I’d get those hacked app stores, and the main reason I wanted side loading, was for Delta. Now I don’t have to deal with Apple unverifying it 😍
I still have the same SMW rom from when I last used Delta a few years ago lmao
Hope they make an Apple TV version!
Same 🙌
This is very helpful Brandon now I can play this game😊
Great video thanks for posting!
Awesome video - delta doesn’t come up immediately for me, took some searching for it but great hack
How did you find it?
There should be a link in the description
@@bullie86you have to search Delta then put a dash then put game emulator It should be like this Delta - game emulator
Everyone, thank the EU!
Can you explain
That and along with usb c, europe once again having to civilize US companies.
It's not even available in the EU 💀😭
@@SkyLeneit is just not on App Store
@@tombombadil2049 Yeah and the Stire that it’s on is subscription based. You have to pay if you want it in the EU
This is incredible, I used to spend 30 minutes each time I wanted to get an emulator on my phone, and I could only play gba games at best. I just downloaded the emulator and got a star in Mario 64 in the span of 5 minutes
Wow this is awesome! What a great way to have a little fun and all the nostalgia!
I don't know about you, but I'm downloading some old NES games like Super Tecmo Bowl, Contra, Castlevania, Super Mario Bros, etc.
Thanks for this awesome video!!!
What website did you use to get the ROMs?
@@ronaldmcdonald5292i second this, need help
@@jojosiwadrillremixmp3141 I was able to use a site called vimms lair but I was only able to install game boy games.
@@ronaldmcdonald5292I used emulatorgames
This looks awesome. I wonder how long it will be before it disappears from the App Store.
The other emulator, iGBA, wasn't pulled because it was an emulator, it was pulled because it was stolen code from an emulator called GBA4iOS... which was made by the same developer as Delta. So some guy was being shady, releasing someone else's work as his own. That's why the app was pulled. Delta is more legit and does not run afoul of the current App Store guidelines.
If it does get pulled (say, the App Store guidelines change again), you will still be able to use it, you just won't get any updates. iGBA users are able to keep that app as long as they want, but they shouldn't, because Delta contains the same GBA code, and does a lot more, and isn't a shady ripoff. So if I had iGBA, I would uninstall it since it doesn't do anything (good) that Delta does better.
Oh man. Finally! N64's running like a dream on my iPhone 11. Hooked up my PS4 controller and it's totally seamless. Hope they come out with all the other classic systems! Let's go!
Awesome video love how straight forward everything is. I’m going to be playing this non stop. Excited to play Pokémon black v2 again
Could you make it work?
@@RamyASMR I got it to work.
Any tips for the DS bios files or would a simple google search be better lol.
check the link in the description
@@BrandonButch what link?
Did you find the solution ?
Any solution yet? I still haven’t figured it out.
Does anybody know, why this app isn't available in the EU?
second this question. Also when will be available in EU ?
@@dewille-pl it is available in EU through purchasing the alternative app store AltStore PAL for 1.50 euros + taxes (for me it was 1.75 euros)
Fr, I thought it would ONLY be available in EU after recent changes. I have a perfect ds emulator from some website that you just add to your home screen from safari but I want to play ppsspp without side loading and stuff too or being limited to 7 days before it stops working
Doesn’t appear into Apple store in Spain 😮 anybody knows why????
The app dont appear for me either.. /from Sweden
No words can explain how much this means to me. On behalf of my people, THANK YOU!!
Great video, it’s super simple I love it.
So I downloaded Heart Gold Pokemon, but when trying to open the ROM in Delta. It says that bios7.bin, bios9.bin, and firmware.bin is required? How do I find those files? Thanks!
Same having this problem
yeah i had the same problem
I’m in the same boat
Did you figure this out ?
Same here
Do I see this correctly - in the EU Delta only on the developers iOS store AltStore?
i was able to download it from the official store in New Zealand
Yes so annoying Apple pressuring EU back, means the developer didn’t release the app in EU due to fees Apple just made up , so in EU we don’t have it
@@tomm2639blame the EU
will it be available in Europe? if not, how can I get it? VPN?
@@rixxxrixxx8642 Either from AltStore (2 Euro a year) or you can just create a new Apple ID and set the region to the US.
This helps a lot. Thank you
I was able to play all my pokémon games on my iPhone using the old eclipse app back in the day but it had issues saving in game progress. So now with the new delta app i’m finally able to save my in game progress on my iPhone I never deleted my roms all I did was redownload them to the delta app and started playing.🥂😎
do i save within the game im playing or just use save state?
You can save within the game
can you make a tutorial on how to play ds games
Yeah I can’t get my ds roms to play either. Everything else works fine but the ds
@@westcoastcollector6562download other files that support the DS games I had to download just 3 extra files

Played some games on my iPad. Also connected my Pro Controller to my iPads Bluetooth and it works awesome definitely a must get if you plan on playing these games a lot
This is so great, Ive been doing this on android for so long, i can finally play on ios now!
Finally!! Downloaded it and I am playing a couple of Pokemon ROMs now. :D
which website
I need to know the website for the ROMS too help 2 ninjas out please!!
Where? How?
These comments are ridiculous you brag about it but won’t help anyone
@@curlyg9925 use some intuition bruh 😂😂 just google whatever game you’re looking for with the word rom after it
@@curlyg9925 I’m looking at the moment! When I find it I will reply to you the websites I’ve found.
When does the App Store lunch it for the EU?
Already did, in AltStore
Thanks been having fun !
Thx man I really appreciate this I’m stocked
Is this app in the EU yet?
im in Poland and I don't see it in the App Store
Description says get it in alt store
Do I have to update my phone first because I can’t find it on AppStore
You have to specifically type it like this Delta - game emulator.
What a day! Happy to be alive to see it.
Really interesting! I don’t play games but I might be tempted with delta!
This is cool
beyond
Commenting to say I was here to witness history
This was a lot of help ❤️💯
Yaaa, i’m 46’, i know, i look 26’ , but i still don’t play video 5:38 games, however I’ve been waiting for this for my son! Thank you, BB! Love it.
Finally iPhone looks like its worthy of being my secondary mobile lol
Damn now I have no reason to go to android anymore lol when apple finally let us have the emulators on the iPhones.
right!
When apple lets us download ipas and install em easily like android can apk’s, boy that’ll be something else
lol that’s the one thing I hated when I switched from android to iPhone. Was hard to get emulators on my device
@@Majin_Melthe EU will probably get us that wish.
Wouldn't say that so fast. Android still has switch and other systems that may or may not come to apple. Apple I'm sure is friends with nintendo so it's unlikely. If they get that and 3ds and gamecube and wii (which needs jit active and that's standard on androids) and vita and probably most important one that's on android a ps2 emulator! Only then will it be full on iphone even then iphones eventually can't use their apps happened with my old iPad so you still have a time limit if it's the same device for years which android doesn't have that issue.
Thanks for the guide, new sub here❤
This is so cool I’ve been waiting forever for an easy way to play delta but I feel conflicted playing it now I have a Nintendo switch I will probably play whatever they don’t have on nso

Same happens for nintendo ds on my end😢
you need to get the bios and firmware roms
it’s because you need certain files for nintendo ds. he didn’t show how to do this, but it’s basically the same process, google search then point to those files in the app

I did it a couple years ago (I still have the files but I dont think its possible to share them here) and they were in the description of a video in a google drive file
Waiting for PPSSPP as well
same.
Great unboxingng video! I’ve actually played this game, and it’s fairly easy to understand, or explain to someone who has never played before. The game is fast paced, and although it seems simple there’s quite a bit of strategy-from how you build your deck to how you want to play against other players. I would recommend this game as a fun starter game for game night, or as a small footprint game you can take with you anywhere you go! I seriously hope this game keeps getting support from the designer through updates or expansions. I’m definitely interested in looking at their other games!!
You are the man!!! Bless you 🙌🏽
I cant import files, it keeps saying "This file is invalid"
Either a) you're trying to import a game that is not supported (ie: Wii)
or b) Extract the zip file to see if that works

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
I love this comment!
I love Delta. Such a great Emeulator
The problem with these videos is so much is skipped, leaving the light off for anyone trying to also do unless you’ve done this before. Man completely skipped over importing files and where to get them after downloading the main rom. Delta requires bios7.bin , bios9.bin and firmware.bin . I don’t see the point of doing these videos besides to farm views because I didn’t get from point A to point B with your supposed “tutorial video”. More like “If you already know what you’re doing tutorial”
I mean there’s legal reasons why they don’t fully go over a tutorial
All I did was google search and download a roam and did everything in under 2 minutes, seems like it worked for others
Legal reasons
I thought those files were only required for DS emulation on delta
I went to my room site. Downloaded Pokémon ruby straight to my device. Opened the app and started playing. It’s very simple lol
