Playing classic video games like Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, or Sonic The Hedgehog from your childhood is now possible on your iPhone thanks to Apple’s recent change in its rules. This means you can enjoy these old games without having to jailbreak your device. One of the first emulators available on iOS is Delta, created by Riley Testut. Delta lets you play games from old video game systems like Game Boy, Nintendo, and PlayStation right on your iPhone.
If you’re looking to play retro video games with Delta, finding the game ROMs can be a bit challenging. However, it’s important to follow copyright laws when obtaining them. You can use tools like Epilogue’s GB Operator to rip .ROM files from your own Game Boy cartridges if you own them. If not, downloading ROMs online can be considered piracy. Once you have legally obtained your .ROM files, you can transfer them to your iPhone through methods like Google Drive, email, or iTunes.
To load video game ROMs into Delta, simply download and extract the game files within the app. Then, within the Delta app, tap the plus button and select “Files” under the “Import From…” section. Choose the file and the game will show up on the app’s homescreen ready to play. With Delta and other emulator apps available on the App Store, iPhone users can now have a small old-school gaming system in their pocket that allows for playing their favorite childhood games or discovering new ones.
In conclusion, Apple has made a significant development for iPhone users by allowing emulators on its App Store. With emulator apps like Delta available on iOS devices nowadays, users have access to an extensive collection of classic video games that they loved in their childhood days without any hassle.
