It's important to THANK the EU and Epic for contesting Apple's ******** practices and exerting pressure to make this happen, among other things.
Just proves pressure on a company is beneficial for the consumer.

This right here ^^
It's spectacularly important for regulation to hold mega corporations to account, and all of this great stuff happening right now is due to Epic & EU pressure
This is pretty much the only emulator I would ever want. Holy crap this is awesome.
Fantastic to see Delta on the official app store. This is the kind of thing emulator fans have been wanting to see for a long, long time, and hopefully it'll open the door for emulators of all sorts of platforms.
I’m not gonna pretend to know anything about the coding on these apps but whatever he’s done to make Nintendo leave him alone i wish gets out to all emulator devs.
Where do we get roms at to play?
Even after being pulled yesterday, I was still able to download Bimmy onto my iPad, because I got it on my iPhone beforehand. Hope that gives you some hope either way.
If this doesn’t have an IAP where i can buy 1000 diamonds for $70 I’m not interested
Downloaded and tried out uploading N64 roms. Too busy to play but so far it works and looks very promising. As someone above has said, files will need to be .zip files and the app will automatically find it under Files.
Edit: for kicks tried out screen mirroring the app on the Apple TV at my work. Works great!

Not sure what he/she meant by "SE"
I have Delta running on my SE1 with a 4" screen just fine
I only tried a little bit of it, but no noticable lag.
And looked for the Apple TV version and NOPE.
Too bad. That would be killer.

That poster who said their mission is for Apple to reverse course on allowing emulators on the NES post probably fuming with anger right now lol
Damn, now I want it on my iPhone and iPad… Hopefully the developer will backtrack and allow it in the EU AppStore eventually.
Supposedly in the works already
Excellent. I've used Delta and AltStore before but it's such a pain to remember to keep it constantly synced that I just ended up not fighting Apple.
Delta in particular has some great touch screen controls. Not all action games are easy to play like that but it's more than adequate for my taste in old school RPGs.

An emulator itself is legal. Nintendo lost that fight decades ago. Roms on the other hand. That’s more of a grey area.
