Riley Testut, the developer of the popular Nintendo emulator for iPhones and iPads, Delta Emulator announced in September 2024 that the emulator would soon receive an online multiplayer feature. With the latest beta update, the emulator keeps has delivered on that promise. In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the official AltStore team page shared that the new Delta Emulator v1.7b4 is now available on both AltStore PAL and AltStore Classic to Patreon members.
The latest Delta Emulator beta update brings the much-awaited online multiplayer feature for Nintendo DS titles. In a follow-up post, the team also announced that they wanted to keep the multiplayer setup as simple as possible. For that, they have removed the requirement to manually change the DNS settings to connect to the third-party WFC servers. All you need to do is choose from the three popular WFC servers available within the Delta Emulator app Settings and you are all set.
Online Multiplayer will be available for EVERYONE with Delta 1.7, so to make setup as easy as possible you no longer need to manually change the DNS to connect to 3rd Party WFC Servers.
