Delta 1.5b2 - AirPlay + Experimental Features!

Howdy Delta Fans!

We have a BIG new update for you all to try - Delta 1.5b2 is now available with some major changes. This update comes with a long-requested feature, AirPlay support, which means you can finally put your favorite games on the big screen! This feature works especially well for DS games, allowing you to stream the top screen to your TV and turning your device into a dedicated touch screen — just like a Wii U! To try this out, make sure to turn on Screen Mirroring from Control Center.

But wait, there's more! We've also included "Experimental Features", our new playground for contributors to add features. This allows anyone to contribute to Delta, and this beta already includes new contributions from community member Chris Rittenhouse, including:

📸 Game Screenshots: You can now take a screenshot from the pause menu, and choose whether they're saved to Files or directly to your Photo Library.

📊 Show Status Bar: View the time/WiFi/battery even while playing a game

🍞 In-Game Toast Notifications: Show pop-up alerts when performing certain actions, such as toggling Fast Forward.

You can enable these features (and more!) from the new Experimental Features section in Delta’s settings.

If you're interested in contributing to Delta, we've made a step-by-step guide so that you too can easily submit your own Experimental Features. Check out our Contributors document on GitHub to learn more.

We're so excited about this update and can't wait for you to try it out!

Best,

Riley + Shane
