Hi Patrons!

The final release for Delta 1.6 is almost ready!! 1.6rc is now available and we packed in some great additions ahead of the final release, including:

😍 Brand-New iPad Skins

📲 Handoff Support

🎮 Game Mode Support (iOS 18)

This beta introduces polished versions of our brand-new iPad skins for all systems. These beautiful skins were designed specifically for a larger display, and are optimized for both full-screen and Stage Manager. We even took the time to update our iPhone landscape DS Skin to have bigger screens! As always, thanks to our friend Caroline Moore for these designs 💜

That's not all: we also added Handoff support, making it easier than ever to switch between devices! This feature works perfectly for when you're playing on the couch with your iPad and decide to continue your adventure on the go. Just bring your iPhone close to your iPad to seamlessly transfer your game to the smaller screen 📲 And even better, this also works on Mac!

And as a bonus for those on the iOS 18 beta, we’ve also added support for Game Mode 🎮 Now you can enjoy all the benefits this brings -- such as reduced latency for game controllers and AirPods!

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ 

This version automatically hides incompatible melonDS save states. You can still view them by pressing the menu button from the save state screen and choosing "View Incompatible Save States"

If you've been using regular game saves, you'll still be able to keep your progress. However, if you've been relying on save states, you may need to create an in-game save before updating. If you've already updated, you can manually export save states and load them in previous versions of melonDS on the computer. There you can create a new in-game save that you can import back into Delta.

Install Instructions

AltStore / AltStore PAL

If you’re already using the Delta beta, you can update to this version from the My Apps tab.

If you're installing the beta for the first time, make sure to follow these instructions: https://faq.deltaemulator.com/getting-started/beta-access

When come the update for everybody

When will the Altstore PAL be available on iPad? I have just purchased it again for my iPad device, now for the 2nd time and I still can’t download it. These updates and the website are a bit misleading, because I keep seing iPad, and I can’t really see a disclaimer which explicitly mentiones that users in the EU can’t use Altstore PAL and Delta. I would not like to request a refund, unless I won’t be able use the Apps on my iPad. Delta is amazing though, that’s why I’m so eager to try it on my iPad.

Does this new update mean we don't need the ds bios files?

Hello, we have a Pokémon-themed game and we're interested in partnering with Riley&Shane. We would like to promote this game on Altstore and split the revenue generated from it. We're interested in collaborating on co-publishing games. In short, we would like to feature our game on your platform for users to download. Users would then engage in the game and make in-game purchases. We propose to split the revenue generated from these in-game purchases. For example, if the game generates a total revenue of $10,000 in a month, we would split this revenue between us. Let's say our agreement stipulates a 50-50 split, you would receive $5,000 of the $10,000 revenue. Our game is already available on the Apple Store and Google Play, generating decent revenue. We've also partnered with TutuApp, Sinulous and our revenue data from these collaborations is promising. If you're interested, we can provide further details or address any questions you may have.

How to install Delta and Altstore PAL on the iPad in the EU ?

JD931

Gameplay has improved and overall feels snappier. Game mode does not work sideloaded (US) but that’s expected is there an eta for the AppStore update? (Edit: Game mode works now after uninstalling and reinstalling)

Ali

Was Delta 1.6 supposed to add extra FF for iPhone on DS and the BIOS automatically? On an iPhone 15 PM and it still requires BIOS and the FF is still slow.

Patrick

does this version add options to allow delta's audio and external audio to play together?

Jessica Parker

Or Wii games or really love 3ds games

gg-_ez

Can we get pixel filters integrated into delta instead of changing skins with wierd community design/layouts.

Carlo De Luca

Please! Include hotkeys and button combination for save, load, menu, etc. (ex: Select+L2). Also would be great of we could change controls for one specific game (a toggle “custou for this game”).

Tommaso

Cool, but where are other apps for AltStore pal?

iOS 18 Beta 3, Delta Public Release crashes on start up.

TheHof

Any thoughts on a VisionPro or AppleTV version?

Chris

I can't get keyboard or controller to work on Mac. Is there a trick to get input working?

Ryan Burns

Love this update and the iPad version is everything I wanted it to be! Question - how do you get handoff to work between iPad and iPhone both running 1.6rc?

Fredrik Mellström

iOS 18 Public beta 1, can not install Delta (public) from AltStore Pal. I click the install button, but nothing happens. I am able to remove and reinstall Click, just not Delta. 😳

Oak_Kitten

Delta became unavailable to me about 2 weeks ago. I have a pending AltStore update but when I try to update manually or using the reinstall Pal method I get “this app is currently not available”. Currently iOS 18.0 public beta, but the issue preceded me updating to 18 and was also present in 17.
