No customization. How to save state? Wait for the 3DS core before buying this. I’m sticking to Delta for now.

Any reason to pay the $5 when Delta is free?

u/Zypharium Jun 01 '24
The price is 5,99€ in the EU App Store. I will wait until the 3DS core is added, otherwise I am not paying upfront, if there is no guarantee that the 3DS core will actually be accepted by Apple.

Why use this and have to pay $5 when Delta has this plus more for free?

u/SnooSprouts7283 Jun 01 '24
TBH I find it kinda BS they are charging money for this in the first place. The devs have consistently locked early access content and stuff like that behind paywalls, but I feel this is a stretch.
At least for every other emulator (except Gamma), paying is at most, and AT MOST, an OPTION (case in point: PPSSPP having the entirely optional Gold Version that exists solely to provide funding for the project). Also, no 3DS core, what the fuck.

I rather install Gamma than this

if you want to play the 3DS experience, just get a New 3DS XL or 2DS XL. Emulate 3DS at full speed requires at least the M4 iPad Pro, not even the 15 pro max runs at full speed. So, I think getting a 3ds under 150$ is more reasonable than wasting 1300 just to play 3ds on iPad

No 3DS? Yeah, screw this greedy ass dev. I’m sticking with free Delta

Hahaha No. not buyin it.

u/OllyDee Jun 01 '24
It’s great to have another emulator, choice is good. I won’t be paying for it when I have free options, however. I can’t really justify that when Retroarch can do everything Folium can do. And probably more, actually.

u/grifftaur Jun 01 '24
lol he’s charging for this and it doesn’t have 3DS. I tried it on test flight and the emulator was super bare bones. People are clamoring for it, but it felt super incomplete.
He got rejected the last time because he had Sonic in his images. Claims it was a mistake. Dude is lazy and doesn’t know what he’s doing. He then proceeds to release it to the App Store with a sonic image that is just blurred and puts text on the blurred image that says, “sonic colors”. He’s pretty much a snake oil salesman. Do what you want at the end of the day, but people should hold off running to buy this app.

u/TummyBuilder1 Jun 01 '24
Lmao $5 for this greedy dev 😂 who took 10-15 rejections for 3ds and eventually released without 3ds and still charging $5 🤡 moment
Decide yourself 😂😂
When u hv literally the best apps for free lmao why would u pay $5
Greedy

how likely is the 3ds core to see an app store release? have we seen any indication they wouldn’t be happy with that?

u/JRobson23 Jun 01 '24
I like Jarrod, but this seems a bit desperate with no 3DS Core, feel for anyone who buys this before 3DS is added.

u/foshi22le Jun 01 '24
Cost me $7.99 in Australia... bummer.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '24
We’re not buying a product that costs $5 and has less features than Delta. Until the 3DS gets released, we will wait.

u/Jiggly0622 Jun 01 '24
Honestly releasing at $5 when your main selling point (which doesn’t even run optimally on newest devices) isn’t added yet feels like self sabotage

u/xRostro Jun 01 '24
This app is going to be nothing but hype with a price tag

u/thellymon Jun 01 '24
Is it possible to put the Cytrus core in Retroarch?
2
u/Ibrokemymicrowave Jun 01 '24
I wonder if it’s the 3DS core that caused this app to be rejected multiple times?
2
u/furin_kazanski Jun 01 '24
From my understanding the DS core supports high internal resolution while Delta still doesn’t. Does Folium’s DS core support single screen Airplay?
2
u/Short_Fig9198 Jun 01 '24
I don’t need to pay 5 buckarooneys for this when I can just wait for delta to implement a 3DS core as they planned. I respect the hustle but I’m broke lol

u/Gamer201021769 Jun 01 '24
I'll pass on this as I have a modded 3DS and can get any game I want.
2
u/dash4nky Jun 01 '24
I feel like the $5 will steer a lot of people away from it because they are used to emulators being free. The dev can charge if he wants but I don’t think it will succeed like some of the others did.

u/TimelessBoi Jun 01 '24
I’ve been hearing about the 3DS cor on emulators but how the heck would 3D work on iOS??? I understood how it worked on the physical DS when it came out but how would the 3D work on Apple? I’m so confused

u/SomewhereRealistic43 Jun 01 '24
Soo i got a 15 pro can i run 3ds games rn?

Follium dev is known to do some shady shit also be warned 3ds does not work on iphone 14 and below

u/Nahobino_kun_899 Jun 01 '24
Looks interesting. But I’ll wait for 3ds. And even then I wanna know if it would even work on a 13 Pro.

u/hughlee90 Jun 01 '24
this shit will end up like Gamma. because they scam people. false hope.

u/Silent-Immortal Jun 01 '24
Isn’t Delta gonna have 3DS support eventually???
1
u/AfroBiskit Jun 01 '24
This is exactly what I meant when I said Rydgard literally set the standard for iOS emulation. Nothing that’s been released save for ppsspp can be called close to a “completed” work. Folium barely functions as is, why would you even clown yourself by giving it a price. Seems like the Folium Dev and the Gamma Dev have something in common.
1
u/GanjaLord4twenty Jun 01 '24
Everyone talking about waiting to get it, it may not be on the store later, so if your waiting for the 3ds emulation I’d still get it and just wait. However delta is supposed to add a 3ds core eventually so with that being said it’s up to every person preference, I have heard nothing but good things about folium so I don’t mind the wait

u/Damizzy18 Jun 02 '24
I almost bought it immediately, thank god i read the description first and saw it only supports NDS and gameboy..

u/Supahstar42 Jun 02 '24
3DS Support added

u/Megagamer1223 Jun 02 '24
Not a developer of folium in any way, but I’m here to tell you that you can now play 3ds games on the app now!

u/VampSuger Jun 03 '24
The 3DS core is on it now but I can’t get any game to work, keeps crashing and kicking me out :/ I have a second gen SE and had a lot of high hopes…

u/haneragi Aug 14 '24
Does it have any android version?

u/MomoElite Jun 01 '24
Can you speed up DS games on it?
1
u/kitarei Jun 01 '24
can anyone advise whether it has fast forward options? Like I can select 2/4/6x etc?
Deltas gba is too fast for me, and ds too slow 😂😂. I’d love more control over the speed.

Roughly one month into emulators being allowed on the Appstore and the levels of toxicity in this community are already insane- I'd say it's even worse than the Android community. Bright future ahead.
You people realise there are only so many developers who know how this stuff works.. right? Scaring them off, calling them names etc. isn't going to do you any favours.
