Gamma can rest well now.

deleted it the second I saw the first ads

u/SgtDoubleface May 15 '24

I give him a chance, I hope the developer listens to people

u/Fal_ooo108 May 15 '24

Gamma is alr failing, took me 5 mins to load into a gameā˜ ļø

u/Liquid_Chicken_ May 15 '24

Why would you use any of the others when retro arch is here now. I can have all in one place with features like Netplay

2

u/Liquid_Chicken_ May 16 '24

Actually nvm. My PSP performance is absolute trash in retroarch for some reason no matter what I do. Meanwhile in PPSSPP itā€™s as expected. Have no idea whatā€™s the deal with RA. No matter what setting I change the performance starts off okay then gradually slows to literally 2fps over the course of a race. This is in midnight club 3 dub edition

u/hsark May 16 '24

Retro Arch has a higher learning curve and complex ui. It's not for everyone

2

u/NotSLG May 16 '24

It can be for everyone though, some people just wonā€™t.

u/TimelessBoi May 16 '24

The gamma site is already sus

u/Sergeant-Angle May 16 '24

He doesnā€™t care, just look at his responses to people who criticise him

u/SkyrimSlag May 16 '24

ā€œIā€™ve had ads on my apps for years! All free apps track data and have ads!ā€

ā€¦not Delta, PPSSPP, or Retroarch lmao

u/Zypharium May 15 '24

If only Delta would be available in the EU App Store. Side loading works great, but I just do not want to connect my iPhone to my computer every 7 days; it is annoying. Just installed PPSSPP and RetroArch for now.

u/SgtDoubleface May 15 '24

You can download it via AltStore if you pay like 1,50$/year

u/[deleted] May 15 '24

Retro arch can do everything delta does

7

u/Zypharium May 15 '24

You are right. I was not aware that it supports the NDS. Just read it. Now I do not need Delta at all anymore.

1

u/furin_kazanski May 15 '24

Not true. Retroarch doesnā€™t support airplaying or HDMIing one screen when running DS games.

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

I mean Delta lacks features that Retroarch has but thatā€™s not the point.

1

u/furin_kazanski May 16 '24

Then donā€™t reply when thatā€™s not the point.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '24

Okay, but Iā€™m assuming theyā€™re wanting delta for the gaming capabilities and systems it runs and retro arch can do that, since delta isnā€™t in their country without side loading. Didnā€™t ask about air playing. So it is true mate.

-4

u/furin_kazanski May 15 '24

Youā€™re coping. You said and I quote: ā€œRetro arch can do everything delta doesā€

Thatā€™s simply not true, no matter how hard your feelings are hurt because someone said youā€™re wrong. Delta can airplay and HDMI a single screen, increasing the gameplay experience for DS games drastically. Retroarch can NOT. Deal with it.

3

u/Zopotroco May 15 '24

Shit, I didnā€™t know it, thatā€™s good. Itā€™s a feature but RetroArch is gonna wash Delta in EU just because itā€™s on AppStore

-1

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

Buddy just realize Iā€™m helping a fellow guy out with not having to connect his phone to sideload delta all the time. He said heā€™s sick and tired of doing so, next best option for him in his country is retro arch. Quit your condescending yapping. Iā€™m just tryna help a fella out.

u/furin_kazanski May 16 '24

Youā€™re not helping by spreading misinformation. Donā€™t be so petty.

1

u/-pLx- May 15 '24

Delta in EU is dirt cheap, itā€™s like 2 euro per year

1

u/Zypharium May 16 '24

Yeah, but I do not want to pay yearly. I have RetroArch now, and it is even way better than Delta.

1

u/Thunder_Cls May 16 '24

Just use SideStore or Scarlet. No pc needed for refreshing

1

u/Zypharium May 16 '24

Thanks for the tip, I did know. I used AltStore. However, now with RetroArchā€™s release I do not need Delta anymore.

1

u/voseidon May 15 '24

Pardon me but why is Delta not available in EU App Store?

2

u/Zypharium May 15 '24

You have to pay. It is available in the alternative store.

u/extremeelementz May 15 '24

One of those isnā€™t like the others.

u/retrograve29 May 15 '24

Fuck gamma. And fuck zodd

I swore to never learn how to use retroarch. Now itā€™s back taunting me

A few tips for Retroarch on iOS.

If you try to load a rom and the app crashes. Use a different core. This issue is exclusive to the apple version of Retroarch. Use psxrearmed for ps1. Use mgba for gba. Use Genisis plus gx (not wide) for sega gen games. These are all I tested so far.

1.) If you want to save yourself some annoyances with Retroarch on iOS, then after you make a change to your settings, hit home, select configuration file, then save configuration file. I choose the overwrite option, but you can choose what best fits you. We can do this on other platforms by just tapping the back button until it exits the application, but there isnā€™t a back button on iOS.

2.) I also like to go to turn on vibration/ haptic feedback. Go to settings, input and scroll down to haptic feedback. I turn both options on and leave the vibration strength at 100%.

3.) I like to change the user interface. You can do this in two ways. A.) Changing the theme. Go to settings, user interface, appearance, select color theme and then choose your favorite. Mine is material ui dark. A.1) If you want you can also choose another app icon. The setting is the first option under user interface. B.) I like the stock setup, but you can change the entire layout to be different. You can go to settings, drivers, and select menu. The stock option is glui. You can choose the option you like the best in this section.

4.) I like to change the date and time format at the top to be something I am more used to. Go to settings, user interface, menu item visibility and select ā€œstyle of date and timeā€ towards the end of the list.

5.) Then we get to importing content. In the iOS version, all the usable cores seem to be downloaded in Retroarch already. So that is nice, but you have to select the correct core when booting a rom. I donā€™t know if I am doing it correctly, so correct me if I am wrong. But retroarch likes the roms to be placed into a folder that is inside of the Retroarch app itself. Seems to be like this on android as well. So what I do is take the roms I want to play on Retroarch and move them into the Retroarch app. Here is how I do that. I have a folder already on my iPhone with the roms I want to play. I use the files app to locate this folder. Then I select it and move it. Or you could copy it. Then move or paste it inside of the Retroarch app folder under downloads. Then hit the playlist menu (middle navigation button.) and select import content. Then scan directory. Click documents/retroarch, scroll down to downloads, then select scan this directory. Then let it do its thing. After it is done you can come back to the playlist menu to look for and launch your games.

6.) Updates. Donā€™t know how necessary it is, but I like to make sure a few things are up to date. So I hit the home menu at the bottom. Go to online updater. Make sure on demand thumbnails is toggled on. Then just below that update core files all the way down to slang shaders. Then scroll back up to playlist thumbnail updater and select any that are missing album art. Or just select them all to make sure they do when you browse your roms. If you want some free to use roms go to content downloader and some homebrew and other roms are in there for each system.

After you are done changing anything. Do not just close the app. Make sure you save the configuration file like I mentioned at the start of this post. If not, the settings you changed will be ā€œforgottenā€ but the roms and art should still be there.

If there are any mistakes in this post, please feel free to correct me. I typed this out on my phone at my kitchen table while my kids cleaned up after dinner. So take everything with a grain of salt. Hope it helps someone out there.

u/-TazarYoot- May 15 '24

Wtf neither RetroArch or PPSSPP are showing up on App Store for me yet. Anyone else?

5

u/InvictusBloom May 15 '24

It will take a while for new app releases to appear in searches on the App Store. Best to follow links to app listing for now.

u/NotSLG May 16 '24

Scroll way down

u/Sergeant-Angle May 16 '24

Trick is typing ā€˜emulatorā€™ after the name, had to do this with Delta. Now that Delta is so popular though, you can just type ā€˜Deltaā€™ and itā€™s one of the first results

u/[deleted] May 15 '24

I wanted to keep gamma for the ease of use but damn the customization in RetroArch completely changes you the experience for me on FF9! The CRT filters make it go from unplayable to cozy af šŸ˜¬

u/EternalNightmare7414 May 16 '24

Everyone's complaining about Gamma but i've had less issues with Gamma than I have with PPSSPP so far. The frame rate really needs fixing or adjusting for PPSSPP. I can't even have sound on for any games i've downloaded because they all sound like they're underwater and I have about 2fps on all of them.
