Emulator Delta emulator for iOS will support iPad devices in its next update

​

With just a couple weeks after its initial release in the App Store, the Delta emulator for iOS was received with great success, after Apple loosened up its rules in regards to video game emulators being available in their App Store at the start of the month.

However, despite the success of the emulator on the platform, one of the drawbacks from the Delta release was that it wasn't supported for iPad devices (alongside relying on the AltStore in order for people located in the EU to be able to use it). Thankfully, developer Riley Testut is currently working on providing iPad support for the next upcoming release of the emulator, providing an update through his Mastodon account in regards to the current state of the iPad support:

Updates on Delta for iPad:

• Yes, it's coming!
• We've been working on it for a while and it's near completion, just need to finish up controller skins + fix some last bugs
• We didn't prioritize iPad because plan was to launch in just EU with AltStore PAL (which doesn't support iPad)
• Obviously plans changed when Apple changed their rules, so we're prioritizing iPad now and it will come with the next major Delta update (1.6)
• It's available now for Patrons through regular AltStore

The current iPad beta is available for Patrons on the AltStore, and while Testut promises the iPad support to be available in the next Delta update v1.6, there's still no set date as to when it might come, but given the current development, it should be sooner rather than later.
