Riley Testut, developer of the Delta emulator, is beta testing a new iPhone app called Delta Camera that mimics the retro Game Boy Camera's low-res, monochrome aesthetic with added modern features, allowing users to capture and share nostalgic images easily.
Developer Riley Testut has launched AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace for iPhone users in the European Union, offering access to independent apps such as the Delta game emulator and Clip clipboard manager. AltStore PAL is free to use, but apps with over one million annual installs will incur a 0.50 euro Core Technology Fee. The marketplace is decentralized, allowing developers to self-promote their apps and monetize them through Patreon integration. AltStore PAL is a response to Apple's plans to support alternative app marketplaces in iOS 17.4 and is designed to cater to smaller, indie apps that may not comply with App Store rules.
Riley Testut has launched the Delta game emulator on the App Store and introduced AltStore PAL as an Apple-approved alternative app marketplace in the EU. Delta is an all-in-one emulator for iOS, supporting various game systems and features such as controller support, save states, cheats, Delta Sync, custom controller skins, fast forward, and more. AltStore PAL will initially offer Delta for free and Clip for a small donation, with plans to open doors to third-party apps in the future.
Developer Riley Testut's popular game emulator Delta is now available for download from the App Store, offering support for various game systems including NES, SNES, N64, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance. The emulator, which supports popular game controllers and features such as cheats, save states, backups, and syncing, is more polished and feature-rich than other emulators. It also includes custom controller skins, fast forward option, Haptic Touch support, and local multiplayer gaming for up to four players. Delta is free, ad-free, and does not collect information, and is available in the United States and some other countries, with an alternative app marketplace for the European Union.
The Delta emulator is now available on the Apple App Store for free, offering wide-ranging console emulation from the original Nintendo Entertainment System to the Nintendo 64 and even the Sega Genesis. Developed by Riley Testut, the app supports Bluetooth controllers, customizable layouts, and features like quick save states and fast-forwarding through cutscenes. It also works with unique Nintendo input methods, supports multiplayer, and allows for AirPlay streaming. Despite being through five years of iterations, it is likely to provide one of the most polished emulation experiences on the iPhone.
Apple removed the iGBA Game Boy emulator app from the App Store for violating guidelines by copying another developer's submission, despite initially approving its launch. The app's developer, Riley Testut, expressed frustration as his own emulator app, Delta, has been ready to launch since March. Apple's decision to allow retro game emulators comes after EU regulations forced the tech giant to open up the App Store to competitors. While the iGBA app was free and ad-supported, Apple's move to remove it did not impact its bottom line.
Apple recently allowed retro game emulator apps on the App Store, but one of the first popular Game Boy emulators, iGBA, has been removed for violating Apple’s App Review Guidelines. Developer Riley Testut, behind the GBA4IOS emulator, claims iGBA is a knockoff of his work and was filled with ads and tracking. While Apple has allowed retro game emulators, it appears that copying someone else’s emulator is not permitted. Emu64XL, a Commodore 64 emulator, is still available for download, but gamers may have to wait longer to play Game Boy on the iPhone.
