📰 What Happened
The Delta game emulator released version 2.0 with support for Apple's folding iPhone Duo. The app can now run Nintendo DS games on the foldable screen. Folding the phone puts a game to sleep, just like closing a real DS.
The update also adds Sega Genesis games, with controller skins that copy the classic Genesis look. It adds custom extras for Pokémon games on the Game Boy Advance, including rare items and rare Pokémon.
Delta 2.0 has a new look built for Apple's Liquid Glass design, animated controller skins, and new pages for recent and favorite games. It is also the first time Delta is on the EU App Store.
🔍 The Backstory
Delta is a free emulator made by developer Riley Testut. It lets iPhones run old games from consoles like the Nintendo DS, Game Boy, and Super Nintendo.
Apple blocked emulators for years. That changed in 2024, when Apple began allowing game emulator apps in its App Store after pressure from regulators and users.
The iPhone Duo has two screens when open, which fits the DS's top-and-bottom layout. Testut said controller skins were adjusted for every pose in portrait and landscape, and split-screen apps still work.
🎯 Why It Matters
If you already own a folding iPhone, you can now play classic handheld games on it without carrying a second device. That makes the pricey phone a bit more useful.
