Riley Testut, the developer behind the popular Delta Emulator for iPhones and iPads, has delivered on an exciting promise. Back in September 2024, he announced an upcoming online multiplayer feature for the emulator—and now, with the latest beta update, it’s here.
The AltStore team officially shared the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The Delta Emulator v1.7b4 beta is now available to Patreon members via AltStore PAL and AltStore Classic. Check out the announcement here.
What’s New in Delta Emulator v1.7b4?
The standout addition in this beta update is the highly anticipated online multiplayer feature for Nintendo DS games. The team has also focused on making multiplayer setup as seamless as possible. Now, instead of manually adjusting DNS settings to connect to third-party WFC servers, you can simply select one of three pre-configured WFC servers directly within the Delta Emulator’s settings.
This thoughtful improvement ensures an easy and hassle-free experience for all users. According to the AltStore team:
“Online Multiplayer will be available for EVERYONE with Delta 1.7, so to make setup as easy as possible you no longer need to manually change the DNS to connect to 3rd Party WFC Servers. Just choose from 3 popular WFC servers in Delta’s settings and you’re good to go!”
Once the update exits beta, the multiplayer feature will be available to all users in Delta v1.7. This applies to everyone who has downloaded the emulator from the App Store. Alongside multiplayer, several other updates are included in this release, such as new controller skins, an updated context menu, and the ability to take screenshots using game controllers.
Game Controller Skins: Select skins for your controller (system-wide or per game).
Game Settings: Configure specific settings per game, including the ability to disable OpenGL ES 3.0 for Nintendo 64 games.
Online Multiplayer (Nintendo DS):
Simplified setup—no DNS configuration required.
Choose from pre-configured WFC servers or add a custom DNS.
Screenshots:
Screenshot option always visible in the Pause menu.
Take screenshots with controllers or skins, and save them to a new “Delta Screenshots” album.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed no audio for game previews in silent mode.
Resolved missing “Reset” button for landscape skin selection.
