Delta: This Emulator is Taking Over the App Store

The Delta Emulator is an app that was designed to emulate retro games on your iPhone. Recently, the app has been taking the top spot in the Apple Store ranking for days.

The launch of the Delta emulator for the iPhone is a big deal for retro game lovers in a lot of ways. This emulator is one of the few legal ways that iPhone users can turn their boring old phones into a full-fledged retro console and play games made for consoles like the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, etc.

What makes this app even better is the built-in airplay features that allow users to stream their gameplay directly to their Apple TVs while their phones act as touchscreen controllers. Its versatility to emulate pretty much most old generation game consoles and its advanced Apple AirPlay features have made the Delta app very popular among iPhone users.

Plus for most game platforms, it emulates, it feels more natural because most of the games it supports were pretty much built to be played on a TV screen. One of the major features that most might seem to miss out on is the possibility that you can play multiplayer games on the emulators too.

Thinking about how early it is in the life of iOS emulators, it will be exciting to see what the Delta dev team will have in store for us next.
