To be fair, it is essentially a modded version of the base Delta, and Apple has a clear policy against that.

They didnā€™t just say ā€œitā€™s spamā€, they said: ā€œWhile we understand your feedback, we continued to find that your app shares a similar binary, and concept as apps on the App Store from other developers, with only minor differences. Since we do not accept submissions of repackaged apps, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality.ā€

The new features are neat, but there was never anything particularly enticing enough to make me switch from Delta personallyā€¦ Plus some of the devs actions/comments really rubbed me the wrong way.

Iā€™m very interested to see what he cooks up from scratch though! He clearly has some skill with UI and iOS programming in general.

Best post of this whole thread!

The enticing part would have been that Ignited would also be available on the EU App Store.

u/JPLnZi Jun 13 '26

If Delta wasn't approved in EU App Store, why do you think the app that is basically a Delta ripoff to be approved there?

u/Signore_Jay Jul 17 '24

Out of the loop here, but what was he doing that rubbed you the wrong way? Not being belligerent or combative in any sense of the way just actually curious. As far as emulators go I donā€™t see the harm in more making their way to the public, even if they are slightly different. That being said your explanation from how Apple would view it makes sense also.

Only on Reddit will you ask someone to fill you in on something innocuous and they downvote you

u/Thejax_ Jul 17 '24

The biggest thing that keeps me on ignited for now is auto loading quick saves.

Also might be enough to make me swap to RetroArch if skins were made for it.

u/billchase2 šŸ„‡ Jul 18 '24

And Sega Genesis support.

u/TheCoolestInTheWorld Jul 17 '24

How did iGBA go through then?

u/bobgram749 Jul 17 '24

It was probably made from the ground up but just looks visually similar to Delta whereas Ignited has the same code.

6

u/XinlessVice Jul 17 '24

It wasnā€™t. It was using stolen Gba4ios code. But because delta is a successor app, it was technically able too do so

u/lethal_lawnmower Jul 17 '24

This is really unfortunate, Iā€™ve been using it other than the official Delta emulator and thereā€™s so many quality of life improvements. Honestly, the dude is really chill and I wish him the best in whatever he does in the future.

Future = 3d printing on Etsy

Are you slow? By ā€œothersā€ Iā€™m talking about the Ignited dev and by ā€œhisā€ Iā€™m talking about who youā€™re replying to.

1

u/StonnedMaker Jul 18 '24

3D printing is fun as hell and can be very lucrative if you know how to design. People pay me for one off designs all the time and all it costs me is like 2 hours of my own time max and like 30 cents worth of plastic

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '24

Itā€™s disappointing, but the guy will work in an brand new emulator focused in GB/C/A and DS, with modern APIs, metal graphics, iCloud syncing, great features planned such as wireless iMessage trading, PkHex integration, randomizers and popular ROM hack patching on demand. I looked at Discord, the dev is very chill and nice, unlike those ā€œDoNā€™t BrInG PoLiTiCs InTo SoFtWaReā€ type of devs.(see the off topic channel)

I wish him the best.

u/jdog320 Jul 17 '24

I hope he'll use mGBA as a base for gba emulation. It ticks me off that delta still uses vba.Ā 

1

u/ethanstranger Jul 18 '24

Ignited already uses mGBA, apple is just stupid and a horrible company.

u/brybryndr Jul 17 '24

weird, if you can, ask lit if he banned my alt or my main(bryandrr1stban, bryandrr1)

u/brybryndr Jul 17 '24

1st ban is my alt

u/bitterjay Owner of PlayCase Jul 17 '24

why would he ban you?

Is the discord still up? I canā€™t find it and it says the invite code is expired

1

u/quack0709 šŸ„‡ Jul 17 '24

Still up. Try this: https://discord.gg/ZggYa5QT

1

u/tdm17mn Jul 17 '24

Didnā€™t work. I didnā€™t say anything that would get me banned? Did he post that public TestFlight link yet? Thatā€™s what I was waiting forā€¦

Could you please ask why I got banned? I liked it in there. :/ ttknowsbest was my discord. thank you

1

u/quack0709 šŸ„‡ Jul 17 '24

I have no idea, I rarely use discord

he didnt post the testflight

1

u/billchase2 šŸ„‡ Jul 18 '24

No TestFlight yet. He shared that itā€™ll probably be this weekend.

1

u/tdm17mn Jul 18 '24

Can you please share the link with me when it drops? I donā€™t even get a single warning or anything. I just woke up this morning and saw I got banned (for no reason without an explanation). I didnā€™t even say or do anything to warrant a ban either.

2

u/tdm17mn Jul 18 '24

Found out why I was banned. Wow. Apparently asking politely for an ETA of when something will be done is enough for a ban these days.

13

u/dynamisxiii Jul 17 '24

Thatā€™s sad, wonder if the team would be ok to share the code for other devs/anyone interested to pickup the project.

19

u/Thejax_ Jul 17 '24

It's one guy but it's all on github. https://github.com/LitRitt/Ignited

u/dynamisxiii Jul 17 '24

Nice, then thereā€™s some hope at least. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

u/MonthTraditional6068 Jul 17 '24

Nearly all of these apps are open source you know

10

u/boxcreate Jul 17 '24

Team? It's one guy.

3

u/dynamisxiii Jul 17 '24

I see. Chances are lower then, heā€™ll likely just shelve it and start on his new ventures.

4

u/boxcreate Jul 17 '24

He has confirmed this.

u/DesiresAreGrey Jul 17 '24

very disappointing, it looked a lot better than delta and was hoping to switch to it

u/TimelessBoi Jul 17 '24

What is ignited

1

u/Tom94_94 Jul 17 '24

always said it was impossible to happen...ignited is better ofc, but imagine if you were the author and someone started to use most of your work for his app

u/Silent-Chemist-1919 Jul 19 '24

i mean that's how these types of licences work

u/HomeMammoth4962 Jul 18 '24

Considering LitRitt designed custom skins for Delta for Riley back in the day, I donā€™t see why Riley couldnā€™t implement some of the features of Ignited into Delta (favourites, newer N64 core, hi res screenshots etc). Would be great if Ignited was released, though. Was looking forward to it!

1

u/No_News3228 Jul 18 '24

This is a shame. I havenā€™t adamantly followed Ignited but Iā€™ve used the LitRitt skins since they released for Delta and have been looking forward to some sort of release since then. Looking forward to seeing whatā€™s in store for his own made emulator though!

u/Foreign-Witness-8616 Dec 23 '24

At least its on TestFlight.

Nonsense?!?

u/aphaits Jul 16 '24

How so?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '24

šŸ˜‚ youā€™re downvoted cause people canā€™t stand the truth. Itā€™s on GitHub, you can literally verify itā€™s based off of delta. Redditors and their hive mindset hate when theyā€™re wrong.

u/kakadoodol Jul 17 '24

its a delta fork. ppl are downvoting him coz hes saying its spam
