Howdy Patrons

Today we’ve got a Delta update that we’re very excited for y’all to try, since it includes a lot of changes we’ve been thinking about for a while. In addition to all the cool new features we’ve been working on, we also want Delta 2.0 to improve on all the basics. So in this beta, we’ve rethought a lot of the ways we’ve been doing things:

⭐️ Recents and Favorites

We’re really excited to finally be adding Recents and Favorites to the Delta Game Library! Recents will automatically show your games in a chronological list based on when you last played, in case you like to swap around between a few games. And with Favorites, you can now curate a list of the games you always want quick access to — just long-press any game in your library and you can set it as a Favorite! 

🫧 Liquid Glass Pause Menu

We’ve completely redesigned the Pause Menu by giving it the full Liquid Glass treatment! In our quest to bring the entire Delta app up to date with iOS 26, we’ve fully modernized the Pause Menu with Liquid Glass. We’ve also tweaked the appearance of save states and cheats to fit in seamlessly with this new design. Plus, we have even more little tweaks coming soon!

🏆 RetroAchievements Refresh

We’re continuing our progress on RetroAchievements support in Delta with an updated new look for achievements! The banners for your achievements have also been refreshed thanks to Liquid Glass, and now include more information from the RetroAchievements site. When you get an achievement, a sleek purple banner will appear, complete with the title, icon, and specifics for your achievement. Additionally we have a new banner that will appear at game launch, showing you your current progress on achievements for that game. Thanks again to the RetroAchievements team for their incredible work ❤️ You can sign up for an account and learn more about this project on https://retroachievements.org/

🛠️ QoL Updates 

In addition to everything above, we still have a few good QoL improvements in this update. Delta now supports using cheats with Genesis games, a toggle to disable RetroAcheivements for specific games, and per-game Fast-Forward speeds. We also updated our “What’s New” screen so that you can see what’s coming in the final release instead of the features we added back in 1.7 🤪 There are a few other minor changes, so be sure to read the complete release notes!

P.S. For fans of AltStore Classic wondering when the next update is coming – don’t worry! Now that AltStore PAL 2.3 has been released, we’re planning an update in the near future to bring Classic more up to date with PAL in addition to some improvements to keep Classic working as it should. We’ll have more details to come soon!

Best,

Riley + Shane

Love it!! Huge thank you for the update on Classic ❤️

Seth Larson

Holy cow, what an update! Have been absolutely loving the RetroAchievements integrations, I've been playing with my "Pocket Taco" since that has arrived too. Keep up the great work!

RandomArbiter

Good news! Thanks for pushing the new beta to Classic, looking forward to the update on what the plans are there.

Roland Aichele

I was just thinking about how I wished there was a “Favorites” feature. Thanks!

Aqua Nova

Great you keep updating! Note that Altstore is still broken and cant be opened on ios. And there is still a sound bug on delta where the sound gets destorted sometimes when swapping from fastforward to normal speed.

Linus

Loving the updates to the app! Any clue on if DS or Gameboy games might get Retro Achievements support soon? I love the idea but currently those are the generation of games I’m steeped in. (Namely Pokemon)

Seth Raines

Is the six button genesis controller skin available and I just don’t know how to do it or is not available at this time?

Ryan Musante

Is this problem in my iPhone setup? Exported error log, doesn't seem to affect operation: [4/4/2026, 23:32] [Sync] [Info] Seed RecordController Result: Success [4/4/2026, 23:32] [offering] [Error] ERROR: Error fetching offerings - The operation couldn’t be completed. (RevenueCat.OfferingsManager.Error error 1.) There's a problem with your configuration. None of the products registered in the RevenueCat dashboard could be fetched from App Store Connect (or the StoreKit Configuration file if one is being used). More information: https://rev.cat/why-are-offerings-empty

Daniel Ullrich

Is there already a schedule when you’re going to release delta 2.0 ?

16BitJunkie

Any plans to add the ability to view the list of available achievements directly within Delta? Love the new design and the beautiful RA banner when I launch a game!!

Coy Hall

Just a request can we get a half speed option where we can slow the game speed down?

Anthony Largin

Any eta on when you may add a 3DS emulator?

Alex Campbell

Thanks for the Delta update! I tried the beta, and I noticed the audio still seems to "jump" every minute or so. Will this issue be fixed for the next Delta release? Everything else about Delta works perfectly!

Reyko kayzzer

It would be great if we could have a menu for looking back at our progress, so we can track which trophies we've unlocked. Thanks for all the hard work!

2026-09-06 06:00 Is there anyway that you can increase the cap of how many people can download? I attempted to use Tesflight but it’s telling me “This Beta is Full”

What do I do, when AltStore PAL doesn’t show there is an update for Delta available. I am currently on 1.7 and AltStore says there is no update. Also, I’ve been a Patreon for a couple years now and remember that you were working on bringing 3DS emulation to Delta, do I remember that correctly? If yes, could you maybe share an update on that. Would appreciate help with my problem and any information you can share about 3DS emulation. Thank you for your work and dedication!

Nani

Any plan to make the UI adjustable for the Pocket Taco ? Also with the redesign of the pause menu we loss the ability to have skins that put the menu higher up to not be hidden by the taco.

Ricky

My favorite part is that it they are receiving a fuckload of money, yet the audio issues on Delta show that they shouldn't be.

Xaither

Was x8 speed removed then? mine just disappeared, not sure where to look for it

Ethan Grimes

Anytime I play a GBA Pokemon game, retro achievements says system is not supported. Any ETA for a fix on this?
