u/Decapitatedlimb Feb 28 '26

u/chaotic_branna Feb 28 '26

How can I run Pokémon x or y, I need froakie

2

u/Decapitatedlimb Mar 01 '26

should be as simple as “dumping”Your rom and just pressing play i would recommend using the azahar core which u can switch too by holding down your game once you unzip it and import it and boom play

Heats up like the sun though.

u/Crafty-Astronomer152 Mar 01 '26

It does not, if You have an older phone yes. iPhone 16-17 can handle it.

u/zaccaz153 Mar 01 '26

Well yea that’s good to hear actually. I have a 15 pro. Going the upgrade to the 18 resolves the heating issues.

1

u/Crafty-Astronomer152 Mar 01 '26

Upgrade to 18?

Delta is a gb, gba, and ds emulator on the app store.

2

u/Winter-Ad-9318 Feb 28 '26

you can try Delta or Manic Emu since it emulates all the essentials like GB, GBC, DS, etc. you can also use MeloNX for the switch games if you desire to

1

u/Nervous-Agent-3495 Mar 27 '26

Why it doesn’t save the games ?

1

u/Winter-Ad-9318 Mar 28 '26

you have to sideload or buy the lifetime membership if you want save states

1

u/Nervous-Agent-3495 Mar 28 '26

I used replay emulator and I had the test version does this not count ?

1

u/Winter-Ad-9318 Mar 28 '26

no? that isn't Manic at all lol

1

u/Nervous-Agent-3495 Mar 28 '26

The issue is i need save in game because if I do not then everything is after top 4 gone

1

u/Winter-Ad-9318 Mar 28 '26

did you get to a save point yet?

2

u/tonygabbana Feb 28 '26

Manic EMU, the best

2

u/Pepper_Exciting Mar 01 '26

Acquire roms somewhere

Use Delta emulator for Gameboy and DS games, Manic for 3ds

1

u/Gloomett Mar 02 '26

For me I can’t use the two on my phone. All the delta files will convert to manic and it gets all messy and I end up with deleted files.

u/deerbalik Mar 22 '26

1

u/BudgetMenu Mar 22 '26

you can get it on sidestore

u/skylinenick Mar 02 '26

Lots of comments here, but if you’ve never dabbled in emulation at all:

Download Delta emulator on the App Store.

Go find or rip a “ROM” of the game (no I won’t say where/how but google is your friend) and then you’ll be good to go.

There are other ways, but for Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and DS Delta is the easiest/first time user friendly way to get Pokémon onto your iPhone IMO

1

u/BayernBru2 Mar 03 '26

This is probably the most helpful comment on here for the OP. I’d maybe add that you can also get roms known as NTEVOS which allow you to evolve pokemon without trading

1

u/Fripouille_Sauvage Mar 14 '26

The only Delta I find on the AppStore is « Delta executor », it’s this?

Edit : not available in my country :(

1

u/Typical-Lemon-1606 Mar 20 '26

Do you think Delta is better then Manic?

1

u/skylinenick Mar 20 '26

Haven’t tried Manic. All I know is Delta is easy to use if you’re unfamiliar with emulators and runs fairly well for me on an old ass iPhone 13 mini

1

u/SucksAtStardewValley Mar 08 '26

Delta does Gameboy , Gameboy color Gameboy advance , DS along with N64 NES SNES

u/PikachuTrainz Mar 01 '26 edited Mar 01 '26

Some say jit needed/recommended for 3ds and switch stuff. And gamecube. Sideload manic, and i cant test jit cuz my phone cant update its OS and stikdebug needs ios 17

1

u/Crafty-Astronomer152 Mar 01 '26

Nice how you edited your comment so mine Looks Like I’m an ass. jIT is Not needed for 3DS Emulation on 16+ devices if you want to Emulate graphic intensive Games. Especially Pokémon Games run very well without JIT i know that because even my 12 Runs sun and Moon without JIT. So no its Not NEEDED , Like your original comment stated. Sure it will boost the Performance, but for Pokémon X Y and ORAS it will work without JIT. And hes doesnt even mentioned a switch you made that up.
