Today lets check out how retro gaming on the iPhone works now that there is a legitimate emulator that seems like it will stick around!

Did this about a week ago … got over 100 snes games my brother I grew up with. Amazing … let’s hope Nintendo doesn’t crash the party
That's awesome I hope you are having fun with it!
@@TheEverydayDad absolutely loving it but I’m with you on terrible screen controls. Grew up in the snes age so I need a controller and I just picked up the G8 as you mentioned in your video. Excellent video!
As long as you already installed the app I don’t think it will get rid of it.
Where did you get rom? Games?
@@justinlikesme19 you have to buy the real cartrige and then dumb the files onto your computer, that is the only "legal" way.
Completed Okamiden (100%) it on Delta. It ran smooth as butter. Nothing to complaint about Delta aside from the occasional cramps from playing without a physical controller. Bought myself a Gamesir X2 Bluetooth. Now I can game comfortably.
To make it work well on a tv just use an adapter to plug it in that will smooth it out, then use a wireless controller like an xbox or playstation controller and you have the perfect home setup.
I would get a node in your gaming room (mesh network extender / AiMesh ) and if you have tri-band….chose a specific band for your gaming room (2.4ghz , 5.1ghz , or 5.2ghz band) Next I would chose a channel that has the least amount of traffic/ noise. Don’t let anyone else use this WiFi connection. There should be almost 0 lag. I did this to set up my Xbox and PS remote play. Works almost perfectly. Try it out. Might need a tri-band router.
I saw another CZcamsr show using Nintendo Switch Joycons via bluetooth. For people without the new iPhone 15 and its USB-C, this is a simple fit. Yes, it’s another device, but it’s more compact than a switch and I already had the Joycons. It’s not perfect, but works well enough to be fun.
I wonder if the USB C pass through on the Razer Kishi controller would allow hdmi cable to also work while using the controller. You’d be wired in, but it’d be perfect sync with TV.
Your camera setup is legit 🔥
Thanks!
I’ve been having a blast just using my Xbox controller to play games that are a little more fast paced. Like a Megaman Battlenetwork 3. So sick
Quick suggestion: Put your microphone in mono mode. It's a bit irritating when the sound is coming slightly from one side.
I’m really really loving this emulator!! 🙌🏾
I'm really pretty pleased with the performance, and I don't normally like emulating on phones.
Problem with Delta is lack of upscaling options. That also affects the output quality when casting to a TV
Unlike in Android with apps like Aethersx2 where you can upscale the graphics of the game as much as you want.
It’s a shame how the app doesn’t let you maximise the game’s graphics despite having such a powerful processor.
i got so much game in Delta app this is the best
Are there any viable options for controllers with an lightning connection that you would recommend?
Use a usb-c to hdmi for lagless TV output.
Will the emulator work on older iPhones like XS Max? how do you load the ROMs/Games?
I very much agree that touch controls on most mobile games are not good at all. Although, I do appreciate how Delta provides some features to make their touch controls tolerable, at least for me. For one, you get haptic feedback from each button press which makes them feel more tactile. Also, the emulator allows you to virtually press and hold buttons which turned out to actually be a useful feature for games like Mario Kart DS where you had to press and hold the accelerator button anyway.
Again, if I had a physical controller around, I personally prefer that. But considering that I spent no money on the emulator and I can play my childhood games somewhat decently, it’s hard to complain lol
I just beat castlevania aria of sorrow on delta and had no issues at all. No lag no problems with controller compatibility. Connect and play it’s so seemless
Waiting to see what Gen the I devices can play. Would be super cool to play PS2 on an iPad at 60fps. Read there might be issues with Dolphin because of Apple not allowing JIT. Also heard PPSSPP is coming, so getting some PSP goodness could be awesome. Really wanted this for awhile, ability to consolidate while travelling (no need to bring a Switch, Pocket, AND iPad, just an iPad and 8bitdo)
Anyone have an issue with a backbone controller not registering the right stick to a c button for n64 when I map it it’s fine but does not work
Delta is Nintendo only. What about MAME and all the other consoles like PSP?
What phone case are you using for your iPhone 15 pro max @TheEverydayDad? Trying to find one that works with the gamesir g8. 😅
I'm using the apple fine woven case, it seems to work perfectly with the Gamesir.
Is it possible to carry save data across devices? Like have a save file of Pokemon Emerald on my iphone and then be able to pick up later from my ipad?
Yes you’ll be able to open your saved files on another device
Has anyone used both the G8 and backbone and which is recommended?
My iPhone has literally become a portable game console to the point where I ordered a backbone controller 😅
I don’t use a controller that’s attached to my phone, I connect my Nintendo switch joycons instead. I airplay to my tv and I noticed lag as well, but I would just sit my phone next to my Apple TV and the games ran much smoother 👍🏻
You could use a USB C to HDMI for your tv
I've got a bunch of emulators and I'm considering the gamesir... It'd be nice to have my phone be the answer. BUT, the issue for me is I'm not using my phone battery life for gaming -vs- a separate battery that when it's dead I'm done gaming but I still have my phone. I've recently upgraded from an iphone 11pro to a 15+ so this is now less of an issue but something I'm always thinking about.
That's a good point and something I hadn't considered, the "extra" battery life on a dedicated device is also a pretty big positive.
I say this knowing that I’m mostly playing Radical Red (Game Boy Advance) lately, but battery drain seems pretty minimal to me. Not sure about other systems but unless it is taxing the processor, shouldn’t be too bad.
audio shifted to right and i need mono
The only system I use external controller for is N64. Everything else is fine for me on touch
Can't wait for Provenance to hit the Appstore
I don't know, I have used Airplay on my Apple tv 4k with no issues (other than the expected slight delay from it being wireless)
I have as well. Pretty awesome playing on the big tube!
How do you AirPlay and keep the sound. Anytime I use AirPlay my sound is silent! 😢
Delta doesn’t upscale, so it going to AirPlay something playing at 480p or similar
I was wondering how long it would take you to make a video on that subject/app.
It kind of worked out perfectly that it came out right as I've gotten into retro gaming more.
It didn’t work out perfect… your video is late to the party and didn’t bring any beer…
I got mine for less than $50, it was around $47
There is no Delta in the app store for me :(
This is nothing new, it's just easier to do now. I remember 1-2 years ago I played psp and gamecube on my old ish ipad at 1440p resolution with a controller via the dolphine emu. Apple hardware is so damn powerful.
Playing chrono trigger atm as well hahaha ❤
Could you rec an Android version?
Ipad air play to the tv and ps5 controller
My GameSir is not shining up if i wanna play with it in the delta app? anyone has the same problems?
Nvm i fixed it XD i had to switch gaming mode, you can do that while pressing start and select at the same time^^
When you android becomes a game console- ten years ago or more
whats the name of the very first game at the start of this video? it looks like Mario? can you provide link for it on the playstore please.. thank you heaps. i subbed.
He didn’t respond because you don’t know what a Nintendo 64 is btw it’s super Mario 64 you have to pay for it orrrrrrr find it on google
Our iPhones will always be the most convenient way of mobile gaming as we will always have them with us.
If I’m being real here emulators have always been on phones
My iphone 12 mini has purpose now
connect a bluetooth controller, and use a usb c to hdmi
Unless there’s a ps2 emulator I don’t see any games to play and I don’t see any reason there can’t be a ps2 or psp emulator now
Okay, so, finally today we can confirm you are the father of Elliot in Mr. Robot 👀😅
I have the an iPhone, the rg35xx plus and H model. As great as the sound and emulation is on the iPhone it still can’t beat for me the nostalgia of playing things like Pokémon, and other retro games, on the plus model (which nails the look and feel of the game boy so well). It makes me feel like I’m playing an official console.
However, the G8 controller setup is actually quite decent as well, If you have an iPhone I think that would be the better investment for most people, unless you’re like me and can’t resist that nostalgia look of the plus or H model. My only concern is the delta emulator itself, it’s not guaranteed yet that it’s going to stay in the App Store, and unless you’re planning the jailbreak your phone it’s a risky move to buy the gamesir controller not knowing how long the app will be there. Those are thoughts.
your ps5 is upside down btw
Needs ps1 emulation support and it would be perfect
If you just want to play Nintendo stuff or games on those platforms then this is way better than those cheap emulation handhelds. Nothing will have a better screen than your phone.
Great video. Still watching but wanted to say so
Thanks so much!
@@TheEverydayDad you’re very welcome. I watch every video you put out. You don’t sound elitest ever and I value your opinion on the topics you cover.
BRO I HAVE YOUR SOLUTION! Get an Apple TV Box and stream wireless, seamlessly!!
Personally, I don't feel comfortable using my expensive iPhone for purposes other than communication and works related. If I wanna play game, I'd get the proper devices for that--like the consoles and handhelds and whatnot. I don't even game on my Mac, unless there's really no other option.
Welcome to 2010 iphone users, we are happy you can join the party now 😁. And special thanks to the EU to make this happen 😂
It’s been out and everyone else have done their videos on it already.
Go away hater. This is the 1st video I’ve seen on it.
@@Streamlined955 GFY :)
First view! love your vids garry!
Glad you like them!
@@TheEverydayDad What games have you been playing? Ive been playing Pokemon red 🔥
Everybody is talking about this emulator. What about the real games like warzone mobile, resident evil 4 or alien isolation?!? Those are the real games that make your phone feel like a gaming console lol
So those emulator are playing what? Fake games? Are they not console games?
@@brokenthrone01 their of course console games but it takes little to no power to run them, what he’s saying is the real games like he mentioned is what makes your device feel like a true console lol, I’ve played both resident evil 4 and alien isolation, and it’s unreal, definitely the REAL deal.
@@xonlytyrek3601 ds games can lag older phones
