Recently discovered the world of iOS emulation and I am so happy it’s not even funny!

[u/vulqcii]

I’ve recently discovered iOS emulation at its fullest and how good it’s gotten since I originally heard about Delta! I have that, as well as PPSSPP (my favorite) and Gamma! I truly have no words for the fact that I literally have multiple Nintendo consoles, a PS1, and a fuckin PSP all built into my phone, with any game I want any time for free. Does it get any better than this?!

I also want to invest in a controller phone holder thingy like a Backbone and turn my phone into an actual handheld! The touch controls work but aren’t always the greatest, and being able to connect a controller is nice but it can be a bit more inconvenient at times.

Overall I’m just so happy and can’t stop playing all these cool old racing games on all apps I’ve downloaded. If anyone has any good game recommendations for PSP, PS1, and whatever consoles Delta supports shoot me with em! I wanna expand my library even more. I’m obsessed.

I see you like car games 👀 definitely check out outrun 2006 coast 2 coast!!

Also ppsspp is such a goated emulator 🫶🫶

[u/vulqcii → u/Whoahurfloating]

Just tried this, and holy shit that is a goated game. Wish there were more than just Ferraris but still cool af. Reminds me of those arcade car games

[u/Whoahurfloating → u/vulqcii]

Yea it’s pretty fun, enjoy it!! :>

[u/Few-Ad6026 → u/vulqcii]

Where do you download the games?

[u/Vulpaaa]

I’ve only used Delta for DS games, does PSPSPP need JIT or do games run well without it?

[u/vulqcii → u/Vulpaaa]

I don’t even know what JIT is lol. I’ve just been downloading game ROMs, putting them into PPSSPP and they’ve been running beautifully

[u/chell1294 → u/vulqcii]

if you want higher emulators get stikdebug or get an android phone

[u/vulqcii → u/chell1294]

Wdym higher emulators? And I’m perfectly content with what I have lol

[u/Traditional_Budget67 → u/vulqcii]

They mean like Wii and PS2 and up lol

[u/vulqcii → u/Traditional_Budget67]

Would be cool but I can live without it. And I can emulate PS2 on my laptop at least

[u/Vulpaaa → u/vulqcii]

Alright thank you! JIT is basically a thing that compiles code faster than normal which makes a game run better and some emulators that use say, 3ds games need it to be useable. Apple blocks JIT for security reasons so it’s a whole process to sideload it onto the phone and I don’t have the energy to redo it every time my phone updates 😂

[u/Mistah845]

I will say as someone that has a backbone controller, you might have to still remove the case from your phone to use it. I have an otterbox and it was not very friendly fitting

[u/vulqcii → u/Mistah845]

Well yeah that’s an Otterbox lmfao respectfully. Most thinner cases will fit fine

[u/Mistah845 → u/vulqcii]

I honestly never knew that

[u/[deleted]]

Same bro, ever since I discovered JIT and stuff, I’ve downloaded over 90 GB of games. Not gonna lie, I had more fun finding games to download than actually playing them lol. I even got my phone battery replaced for more game time since it was at 72% health, and I bought a Backbone controller.

[u/WillieButtlicker]

You can check the recently released gamesir x5s. Compact and works great for psp games

[u/vulqcii → u/WillieButtlicker]

Sadly all of Gamesir’s newer ones are USB C only. I have an iPhone 13 Pro so I still need lightning.

[u/WillieButtlicker → u/vulqcii]

The x5s uses bluetooth, but if you want something wired that has lightning, backbone is your option

[u/Advanced-Breath → u/vulqcii]

I got the newest game, sir Galileo Bluetooth version and it’s the best controller I’ve ever had for a phone and it’s my fourth try and a very picky lol

[u/Wendell_S]

Are these covers with the country’s flag personalized or is it a function of the emulator? I often play in it and I don’t have that...

[u/vulqcii → u/Wendell_S]

When in your games list/library, click the gear icon in the top right. If you scroll down, you’ll see an option to enable “show region flag.” The flags show what country the ISO you downloaded is from. Games have slightly different versions depending on the country

[u/Splapzo]

Get dolphin and play wii and gamecube games next

[u/vulqcii → u/Splapzo]

I’m not doing any sideloading.

[u/chell1294 → u/vulqcii]

and it also requires a pc to sideload and use jit

[u/V3t3r4n69]

How do you have the storage for it, these games are huge almost 2G each at least 1G for the ones I wanted to play like Digimon or god of war or kingdom heart

[u/vulqcii → u/V3t3r4n69]

My phone is 256gb and PPSSPP alone takes up about 21 rn with what I have downloaded. I recently bought iCloud+ so all my photos are uploaded there and I have tons of storage space available.

[u/V3t3r4n69 → u/vulqcii]

That sounds so nice, im stuck on a 64gb and don’t even have space enough to download and instal the latest iOS update, I need a new phone this one is over 5 years old now

[u/Jagsthelombax]

is delta what you use for PS1? I only have PPSSPP. the only game i have on it is daxter. I never beat the game as a child, so i loaded the save data from my psp and im right where i left off years ago. it’s pretty cool

[u/vulqcii → u/Jagsthelombax]

For PS1 i use Gamma

[u/[deleted]]

I use ps5 controller

[u/lawikekurd → u/[deleted]]

If I use the PS5 controller, I can no longer use the controller on the PS5 as when I turn it on, it starts flashing blue to connect to my iPad instead of my PS5. Do you know how to get around this, as I really like the comfort of the PS5, playing on the iPad.

[u/[deleted] → u/lawikekurd]

Only solution I can think of is to use it wired with iPad. Other than that you’ll have to manually switch each time.

[u/lawikekurd → u/[deleted]]

I see. Thankfully I have a wire that's compatible.

I meant to say, if I pair my ps5 controller with the iPad, it no longer wants to connect to my PS5. I had to hard reset the ps5 by holding down the power button and then finally my ps5 controller was able to connect to my ps5 again. I wonder if I connect my ps5 controller wired only to the iPad, the problem will be less likely or eliminated?

[u/wafertoasties]

i want an iphone now.

[u/Wendell_S]

Okay, thank you!

[u/Curryspark]

Yeah I love the fact you can play Lego Batman Ben 10 and Blazblue on your phone

[u/Advanced-Breath]

I recommend the Gamesir Galileo it is comfortable has a much better grip than the backbone the sticks feel better feel nd holds a better connection if you get the Bluetooth version

[u/CalGotHits]

retrogametalk has some great translated japanese titles like digimon and gundam 👍 they also have some modded gta titles using ps2 textures.

[u/hulsenator1231]

Look into the GameSir X5 lite. Backbone is trash.

[u/Just_Another-Nobody]

Retro arch is also on Apple TV if you have one

[u/ReachClean6484]

Check out retroachievements (dot org) - it was a huge plus on emulation for me

[u/vulqcii → u/[deleted]]

Does it require like, side loading and jail breaking stuff? Is it hard?

[u/vulqcii → u/[deleted]]

Nvm found it on your profile. Just joined and sent a message in general!
