Delta iOS Emulator App Instructions

Step 2: Download your GBA, NES, SNES, N64, Nintendo DS ROM(s)… This is very important: only download the ROMs for games you legally own. ROMs are meant to be backup/digital copies of games that you hold the physical copy of. For legal reasons, we will not link directly to the ROMs, but we will help you find the ROMs via the below redirector.

Step 3: After downloading ROMs in Safari, navigate to the download in the Files app. You can do this by either tapping on Safari download manager or by opening Files manually. Inside “on iPhone”, you will simply need to tap the .zip file for your ROM to unzip it and then tap it again to automatically open the ROM in Delta.

Step 4: That’s it! Enjoy your emulated games on iOS and have fun! Don’t forget that you can download all sorts of fun games you own and you can use cheats with them too!
