Delta, the popular gaming emulator, has recently released version 2.0 with a focus on enhancing compatibility with Apple's iPhone Duo. This update brings a host of new features and improvements to the app, making it a more versatile and enjoyable handheld gaming experience.
One of the most notable additions is support for Nintendo DS games on the iPhone Duo. The app now optimizes controller skins for all possible orientations, ensuring a seamless and customized gaming experience. Users can still utilize split-view multitasking alongside running other applications, allowing for greater flexibility in how they manage their devices.
The new iPhone Duo support also puts emulated DS games into sleep mode when folded, mimicking the behavior of a real DS device. Additionally, the app now includes support for Sega Genesis games, featuring new controller skins that recreate the classic Genesis controller aesthetic.
Delta 2.0 introduces a range of animated controller skins, including options for third-party designs, and offers users the ability to customize their gaming experience with filter overlays. These filters can be used to reproduce the look and feel of games as they were experienced on original consoles.
The UI has undergone a significant overhaul to align with Apple's Liquid Glass design language, providing a cohesive look across all devices supported by Delta. This includes default artwork with a light, glassy appearance and new pages for "recents" and "favorites" in the game library.
Other enhancements in Delta 2.0 include the addition of global support for in-app purchases and the release of the first DLC pack, featuring custom in-game experiences for classic Pokémon games. These experiences include event items, rare Pokémon, and more, taking advantage of the ROM hacking community's contributions without the use of AI tools.
