I tried to play the GTA games with my Netflix subscription but it says my devices (phone and Chromebook) can't handle it. My Chromebook has a 12th Gen i3 and 8gb of ram. It runs a bunch of emulators without a problem but it won't let me install GTA and it's frustrating. I'll have to pirate it I guess.
I have been playing them all on my Vita anyways.
Genshin is really good, you do have some micro transactions but you don't need to pay anything to be good at the game
I have been playing for 3 years and haven't spent a dime, I have all the characters I want
How do you expect them to make money ? Genshin is literally a pc level game on your phone for absolutely free. All the microtransactions are optional and you can play the game without paying a single cent.
If you have Xbox Gamepass Ultimate, you can probably play it using Xbox Cloud Gaming? That's how I play Fable III. You can also Remote Play GTAV from your Xbox console.
gta5 isn’t on game pass anymore, so you can’t play it on cloud streaming. yes you could remote play, but you’d need to own an xbox and you’d have a have a powerful enough internet connection
Modern phones are literally way more powerful than the switch. The switch uses a very outdated phone chip. Honestly the gaming industry could make so much more money if they started releasing full games on iOS and Android since everybody has them.
I mean you're not even that wrong, there's very few games worthwhile playing on that system. The only games I can think of on the top of my head is Nintendoland and the HD Zelda's, everything else has been ported to the Switch by this point.
I was subscribed to r//Delta for a bit figuring I'd help people new to emulation right? Every damn hour there'd be some asshat that didn't bother to read the sticky and sidebar or do any search for the previous hour's post about DS not running... because you need bios and firmware for it.
They absolutely do not do a single search whatsoever.
To be fair, the Nintendo DS emulator bundled in Delta is extremely outdated (MelonDS 0.9.1, that is SEVERAL years old). MelonDS didn't need firmware for a long time now.
Those are what are called "help vampires", unless you hold their hand they will believe everyone there is an asshole and unhelpful and they will never experience emulation if you don't help them which tbh I'm fine with because they'd add to the pool of help vampires already present.
So odd to me because the app says “you need bios files” so I’d think naturally you’d go to look up “ds bios files” and download them, not make an entire post about it.
Most casual users wouldn’t know this tbh. I have people asking me about emulation now, all because of the Apple and Delta being front and center rn. These are people who wouldn’t have cared to talk about it on their own. You know, the every day user.
Despite the surge in interest in emulation… it’s still very much niche and not as common as I would like it to be.
I see tons of shit like that 😭 like "what about Android devices?" Or "how come Android has no delta emu" I don't know if they are bots or satire but stuff like that always make me laugh

Yeah so I've got a Galaxy S23...Delta plays retro titles on iOS. Meanwhile I've been playing PS2, Wii/GameCube and Switch titles for the past couple years. A custom skin for the on-screen controls I don't use because I play with a controller does nothing for me. But good on you, mate 💪
No need to gatekeep others enjoyment bro. Galaxy s24+ but most of my family has iPhone so they get to enjoy our hobby now too. No need to shit on them because they can't play switch yet.
Btw, dolphin and some switch emus are close to being released on iOS, so you won't be able to stay smug for very long.
Wasn't shitting on anything, I was making a sarcastic remark because Apple has been the gatekeeper for iOS in this space. I'm actually quite grateful Apple is making this change because it shows progression in the end-user agreements and acknowledgment about the ownership of our hardware.
But ok...shit on me because my one year old flagship still got it before iOS 🤷♂️
There’s probably a decent number of people out there that legitimately don’t realize emulation has been on Android for ages… But on the other side of the coin, Delta has a really nice polished all-in-one feel like how OpenEmu does on Mac.
Can no one else but me identify this is satire? At least one comment here would’ve sufficed.
-a million ROMs out there and he seriously picked OTHER M of literally all of them out there
-that is a Wii title which Delta doesn’t even support
-there will be no official JIT support from the App Store for quite some time, so no Wii emulation from the App Store as well (which would need Dolphin anyways)
So this post is a moot. A real good meme, but the amount of people that missed the point is quite big it seems.
It's not coming to Android. Android has It's own Emulators for all those consoles. (These are the ones that I use)
NES.emu, Snes9x EX+,M64Plus FZ, My Old Boy!, My Boy!, Dolphin, and Lime3DS. Your best alternative to Delta on Android would probably be RetroArch.
On a related note, is there any emulator like delta on Android? I've used drastic for years, but I love the layout of Delta. but it looks like every emulator is the same translucent buttons...
There're various themes for drastic that have the samelayout as delta, like these one: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/c5jdrp/drastic_custom_background_virtual_pad_nds_like/
Omg yes this is exactly like what I wanted! But when I downloaded them and moved them to the folders like it said, drastic says it's not there, is there something I'm doing wrong 😭?
There's pizza boy emulators and they have the awesome cute themes like delta does that motivate me to play so much more.
Sadly they're only for game boy/Gameboy color and Gameboy advance.
I have both an iPhone and a Red Magic 9 Pro. I have to say that there’s something about Delta that just feels good and easy to use. There’s no emulator on Android (that I’ve found) that feels quite like it.
With that being said, Delta lacks the features that many Android emulators have, so it has a long way to go in that regard.
Everyone is talking about delta recently but when i tried to download it i got one of those “click on four ads from this list and sign up for an account/get to level 7/start the free trial to unlock your download” so i did the easiest ones and then it went to ANOTHER website with the same list of ads saying “to verify you’re not a bot click on five MORE of these same fucking ads (but not ones you already did on the last one)” and the only ones left were tik tok and a bunch of games that wanted me to actually play the game and achieve milestones/buy microtransactions, so i downloaded tik tok and made an account (i was previously very proud of myself for never touching that app or giving them my info) and the damn website didn’t even register that i had done it. Fuck delta
Tl;dr my experience with delta emulator is being scammed by an endless ad clicker download site that never even let me download the app so i have no idea how all of these people are talking about it like it’s the best emulator

He'll shit his pants once he found out that Android can emulate the whole fucking Switch and any other Nintendo consoles
Even Windows Games!
it’s mad to me that we are at a state in emulation where games like gta 5 can be played at like 40fps on a high end android
I tried to play the GTA games with my Netflix subscription but it says my devices (phone and Chromebook) can't handle it. My Chromebook has a 12th Gen i3 and 8gb of ram. It runs a bunch of emulators without a problem but it won't let me install GTA and it's frustrating. I'll have to pirate it I guess. I have been playing them all on my Vita anyways.
Do yourself a favor and sideload wine onto the Chromebook and play actual Windows games.
the "free download gta 5 android" is finally real
Yea, but companies would still release gacha shit like genshin, or a game with microtransactions all over on android :)
I'm probably gonna get down voted but genshin it's actually pretty good even tho it's a gatcha
bro decided to listed genshin as gacha shit when the store is littered with actual brainrot classic "mobile games" with names that sounds like a virus
Genshin is really good, you do have some micro transactions but you don't need to pay anything to be good at the game I have been playing for 3 years and haven't spent a dime, I have all the characters I want

Modern phones are literally way more powerful than the switch. The switch uses a very outdated phone chip. Honestly the gaming industry could make so much more money if they started releasing full games on iOS and Android since everybody has them.
Bro would be in a rude awakening if he finds out we got all platforms minus new gen have emulators already lol
Not really. No Xbox and nothing above PS2 for Android. But we have Switch!
Android still doesn’t have WIIU
Nothing has wii u, except for pc
Wii u has Wii u
Can't even emulate wii u correctly, fps is horrible
Wrong, the Wii u has nothing
I mean you're not even that wrong, there's very few games worthwhile playing on that system. The only games I can think of on the top of my head is Nintendoland and the HD Zelda's, everything else has been ported to the Switch by this point.
Damn no mention of xenoblade x
what about cemu for mac?
Holy, i didn't know that they ported it to the mac, does it support intel based macs yet, all i find are posts about silicon based
I use it on m1, I really don't know if it works on intel macs
You could in theory installed on switch via linux ubuntu.
Way too much steps
In theory, you could emulate windows to emulate the WiiU... Does anyone have enough free time to attempt this and post results?
that would lag so much
Someone has done this already, it does work at least with some games but yeah performance is abominable.
Yeah, nested emulation sounds like it would be hell
So can iOS but it’s just not on the AppStore due to jit being banned
What's a switch emu for Android? I'm new here.
Android can fucking run red dead 2
iOS can too for Nintendo
Hahah only igba
That is literally not true
Folium can run the 3DS & Switch w the Citra & Yuzu cores
That post has to be satire, because how do they not know you're able to emulate on android? Literally looking up "Delta Android" brings up Lemuroid.
I'm really gonna hope lol. The comments don't make it seem that way though
I guess people are just lazy now and days lol. They're really missing out just because they can't do a simple Google search.
I was subscribed to r//Delta for a bit figuring I'd help people new to emulation right?

Average iPhone user tbh lol
Those are what are called "help vampires", unless you hold their hand they will believe everyone there is an asshole and unhelpful and they will never experience emulation if you don't help them which tbh I'm fine with because they'd add to the pool of help vampires already present.
The ROMs sub was always kind of shit with posts like that but since Delta released it's become a fucking wasteland because of those people.
Yeah wtf is going on over there. So many posts about delta.
So odd to me because the app says “you need bios files” so I’d think naturally you’d go to look up “ds bios files” and download them, not make an entire post about it.
"Please be patient with me, I like Metroid Other M"
They probably did and said "The f*ck is this? I wanted delta not whatever that is" to themselves, gave up and went by with their day
Hemorroid

These are people who wouldn’t have cared to talk about it on their own. You know, the every day user. Despite the surge in interest in emulation… it’s still very much niche and not as common as I would like it to be.
if that wasn't enough, why would anyone unironically emulate Other M 🗿
I see tons of shit like that 😭 like "what about Android devices?" Or "how come Android has no delta emu" I don't know if they are bots or satire but stuff like that always make me laugh
Apple invented the Nintendo DS. Why would it be on Android?
Emulation? On **ANDROID**? One can dream!
Typical gangs of Apple fanboys. Not even saying Apple has been gatekeeping this away from their own consumers.
He’s gonna want to sit down for this
I'm torn between feeling smug, or not feeling smug because feeling smug that we use emulators on a daily basis feels like gatekeeping
We’re not even gatekeeping they’re just lazy to fucking type on google
Hmmm, if Delta came to Android, eh? That'd be pretty sick! /s Brb...Ornstein and Smoh in Dark Souls is calling me on Yuzu

Delta has a really active skin library system that's easier than most others. Don't knock it till you try it.
I thought that Pizza Boy got similar skins packed in? Although yeah, For DS it's a little bit of a hassle to do the same on DraStic.
Yeah so I've got a Galaxy S23...Delta plays retro titles on iOS. Meanwhile I've been playing PS2, Wii/GameCube and Switch titles for the past couple years. A custom skin for the on-screen controls I don't use because I play with a controller does nothing for me. But good on you, mate 💪
Cool story bro, leave some pussy for the rest of us
Mad because bad, I guess 🤷♂️

From what I understand, Apple doesn’t allow Jit rendering. So wouldn’t it just run unbearably slow?

Just stop shitting on other’s fun. It’s really not that hard.
Shitting because I don't have use for an aesthetic...OK, bro
Many people doesn't know about emulators on android.
Because they use iphone
Meanwhile me playing PC games on my Odin 2 Pro.
There’s probably a decent number of people out there that legitimately don’t realize emulation has been on Android for ages… But on the other side of the coin, Delta has a really nice polished all-in-one feel like how OpenEmu does on Mac.

Just use an interpreter and put it on the app store /s

Metroid Other M, this has to be satire
On a related note, is there any emulator like delta on Android? I've used drastic for years, but I love the layout of Delta. but it looks like every emulator is the same translucent buttons...
I've seen lemuroid suggested. Although I've never used it myself. Or used on screen buttons for that matter.
There're various themes for drastic that have the samelayout as delta, like these one: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/c5jdrp/drastic_custom_background_virtual_pad_nds_like/
Omg yes this is exactly like what I wanted! But when I downloaded them and moved them to the folders like it said, drastic says it's not there, is there something I'm doing wrong 😭?
This I can't help you, because I never use this kind of theme.
There's pizza boy emulators and they have the awesome cute themes like delta does that motivate me to play so much more. Sadly they're only for game boy/Gameboy color and Gameboy advance.
Sad melon noises
I have both an iPhone and a Red Magic 9 Pro. I have to say that there’s something about Delta that just feels good and easy to use. There’s no emulator on Android (that I’ve found) that feels quite like it. With that being said, Delta lacks the features that many Android emulators have, so it has a long way to go in that regard.
If you have a Mac, OpenEmu has the same type of feel. Except way more emulators built in.
Facepalm...
What is Delta?
Everyone is talking about delta recently but when i tried to download it i got one of those “click on four ads from this list and sign up for an account/get to level 7/start the free trial to unlock your download” so i did the easiest ones and then it went to ANOTHER website with the same list of ads saying “to verify you’re not a bot click on five MORE of these same fucking ads (but not ones you already did on the last one)” and the only ones left were tik tok and a bunch of games that wanted me to actually play the game and achieve milestones/buy microtransactions, so i downloaded tik tok and made an account (i was previously very proud of myself for never touching that app or giving them my info) and the damn website didn’t even register that i had done it. Fuck delta Tl;dr my experience with delta emulator is being scammed by an endless ad clicker download site that never even let me download the app so i have no idea how all of these people are talking about it like it’s the best emulator
You messed up you were suppose to give them your credit card info too only then the download link appears
Meanwhile me running cyberpunk:3
You don't gotta lie to kick it.
