⚠️ Due to MarketplaceKit limitations, you’ll need to install this update “manually” from the Settings app. Optionally, enable automatic app updates in Settings → App Installation to update in the background.

For those of you who like to do multiple things at once, we’ve now added support for multiple windows on iPad — and it's optimized for Stage Manager!

Play all our systems simultaneously, and Delta will automatically handle pausing and switching the controller between games ↔️

The game begins playing and the full-screen DS dual-screen keyboard controller appears. The user then taps the other window for Delta, DS emulation pauses, and the user starts Super Mario for NES. Then the user taps back and forth between the games showing the automatic pausing and controller switching

We’ve also updated melonDS to v0.9.5! This removes the need for BIOS files and improves overall performance — allowing us to bump the Fast Forward speed to 3x 🏎️🏎️🏎️

⚠️ Previous DS save states will no longer be compatible, so we advise saving normally in-game before updating

Plus, GBA players also get a treat in this DS update with the ability to now “insert” your GBA carts into DS!

Just long-press a DS game and choose "Insert GBA Game" to use DS dual-slot features — such as transferring Pokemon between generations ❇️ ➡️ 💎

If you do ever delete Delta or Clip, you’ll also need to remove them from My Apps via this process before you can reinstall them.

This is due to a bug in Apple’s MarketplaceKit, and will hopefully be addressed in a future iOS update 🙂

From the Tech Daily newsletter: “It’s funny that software that has been accessible for decades from the web or basically any PC now feels like the future of the iPhone.”

We agree 🙂 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-05-20/new-app-store-rules-make-iphone-retro-video-game-emulators-a-reality

And since we were forced to release this update, we decided to include some bonus bug fixes and QoL improvements as well 🙂

@lamnatos @puresick @d4v sorry about that, looks like there was a bug on our end! Should be fixed now, but you’ll need to “remove” Delta from AltStore PAL first by long-pressing it then tapping “Remove”

Once you’ve done that, you can “reinstall” it and it’ll manually update Delta (just don’t delete Delta during this process)
