Delta 1.5b1 - Hope you have friends!
Added 2023-03-02 17:33:04 +0000 UTCToday is a big one β the first beta of Delta 1.5 is now available with Local Multiplayer π¨βπ¨βπ§βπ¦ You can now play your favorite multiplayer NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis games with up to 3 of your friends β finally making it possible to host your own Mario Party on your iPhone or iPad! This will get even better once we start work on the next beta, which will include AirPlay support so you can play with your friends on the big screen πΊ
On top of this, weβve continued to improve support for your favorite controllers. Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch controllers (including the Switch Online NES + SNES ones) all have newly optimized default button mappings. Your current mappings will stay, but you can reset to defaults if you want to try the new mappings. Weβve also made it so controllers with a dedicated βHomeβ or βLogoβ button will use that as the Delta menu button, instead of the βStartβ button.
Lastly, this version of Delta is only compatible with iOS 14 or later. In order to keep improving Delta in new ways, we have determined that we can no longer support earlier iOS versions. Specifically, this will allow us to adopt new APIs and features much faster, such as the aforementioned AirPlay support!
Our priority for the next couple months will be AltStore 2.0 β which we hope to release the first beta of soon β but weβll continue to intersperse Delta betas throughout. Stay tuned for more Delta news!
Best,
Riley + Shane

Can I load saved games from the regular delta version on to the beta version of Delta? Will I keep all of my saved data or is there a way to do that?

2023-03-16 16:18:48 +0000 UTCYou will need to connect multiple controllers and then you will have the option to assign them to player slots in your settings. If you still need help, feel free to reach out to our inbox for further assistance.

2023-03-10 06:00:12 +0000 UTCHi! Reporting a bug that seems to be crossed from 2-3 versions ago. Whenever I go back to the home screen on iOS out of delta mid emulation, the skin transperacy resets back to 100% whenever I return to delta. This happens to me on all emulators over delta. It only resets back to the set transperacy while I go to the main menu in delta, return to the game and resume the emulation.
