This works amazingly

I was skeptical because I’ve never had great luck with emulators for certain games. I still have issues with certain games on my apple tv but it’s an older version and I know it’s a significantly older processor than what my iPhone has. My iPhone has ran every game that I’ve thrown at it so far. I had a lagging issue on one game that I’ve never previously been able to get to work before on any other platform but I was able to make some adjustments and clean it up a lot. I love this and I use it pretty much daily

Works good

I can’t play any of the games except the content less ones

Edit: You need files. Works great!

This is a very good emulator! I’m very thankful for the people who put in the work to make this emulator. The only cons I found about this emulator is, it’s rly confusing at first trying to find your game file, and trying actually play the lol. And another one is it’s kinda slow and laggy when you try to play some newer games like on the 3ds emulator. But besides that it’s a phenomenal emulator!
Sry for the whole essay 😂

Emulation works but auto save does not

Auto save doesn’t work. It always loads slot 0 instead of auto.

Why RetroArch is the best emulator app

RetroArch has way better emulation than Delta, supports way more consoles, and even has arcade game support! And best of all, it’s completely free!

Dreamcast gamecube/wii and ps2 support?

The app is overall good and all, but for some reason the developers haven’t decided to add a flycast/dreamcast core and also a gamecube and wii core and a ps2 support. Also it hasn’t updated in a while?

Copy & Paste Cheat Codes Please!!!

Overall it runs DS games very well, but trying to put in a 74 line Action Replay code is basically impossible when you can’t see what you’re typing and you can’t copy & paste the code. Please find a way to make copy & paste functional in the app

This is a great emulator!

I love this, i usually use it to play Mega Man games and Rayman and other stuff. Would love to see you guys add GameCube and PS2 emulators and maybe even PS Vita! (Yes a PS VITA emulator exists)

My favorite all time iPhone app!!!

This app has become my favorite all time iPhone app!!!!! Thanks to to emulators provided by RetroArch I a now able to play all my favorite games made for consoles such as NES, SNES, sega genesis, sega CD, and N64. I thought I would never be able to play my favorite games made for those consoles ever again but thanks to retro arch I now can and I am very happy for that!!!!! I hope the developers continue to make RetroArch awesome!!!!!!

Finally a free emulator that works!

I was so worried about losing my game saves but this app loaded all my roms instantly for free with zero setup or configuration, I highly recommend downloading it right now before it gets taken down!

Annoying UI/UX features

Tried the Mac app and the UX was quite atrocious, especially having to install cores and find files through the terrible built-in file browser, with a online guide that is outdated and not hard to use. When I finally got game working and saved it to my favourites so I could replay it easily, it would never boot from there. Wanted to like it but I feel like I wasted my time.
