Delta Game Emulator Now Available From the App Store
Everything is coming up Milhouse this week for Riley Testut. Juli Clover for MacRumors:
Game emulator apps have come and gone since Apple
announced App Store support for them on April 5, but now
popular game emulator Delta from developer Riley Testut is
available for download. […]
Delta is an all-in-one emulator that supports game systems
including NES, SNES, N64, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, and Game Boy
Advance. It works with popular game controllers, and supports
cheats, save states, backups, syncing, and more. As this is
Testut’s longtime project, it is more polished and feature rich
than other emulators that have popped up. […]
Delta can be downloaded from the App Store for free, and it does
not collect information or include ads. The app is available in
the United States and other countries, but it is not available in
the European Union where it is instead being offered through an
alternative app marketplace.
An incredibly polished, high-performance game emulator, available free of charge with no ads. That’s some old-school internet awesomeness. (App Store link.)
Now the questions is: Does Nintendo care? Nintendo recently shut down Yuzu, a popular open source Switch emulator. (David Pierce and Sean Hollister made a great episode of Decoder about this whole saga.) There’s a big difference between emulating the Switch — which is still current — and emulating classic consoles, but Nintendo still monetizes those classic consoles via emulation on the Switch.
