The Delta Emulator team have been hard at work recently, adding serious updates to their app just in time for the release of the iPhone Duo, with version 2.0 released a few weeks back, and already there are added refinements in today's update for Patrons known as 2.0.2b, which will make its way to the free app eventually.

These changes come from community requests, one of the biggest being the larger top screen on the basic iPhone Duo Nintendo DS skin that many are familiar with. It originally didn't take advantage of the screen real estate of the iPhone Duo, but now it does. Then the new six-button SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive skin is now available for games and emulators that require more buttons.

What's New In 2.0.2b?

  • New DS skin with larger top screen for Duo
  • New six-button Genesis skin for games with more controls
  • Added “Speed Limit” option for using Fast Forward speeds up to 8× in Advanced Settings

What's Improved?

  • Added option to hide Favorites and Recently Played from the Game Library
  • RetroAchievements Hardcore mode is now disabled automatically for unsupported games

What's Fixed?

  • Fixed Game Library always returning to Recently Played after leaving the Pause Menu
  • Fixed Display Full Screen mode not activating over AirPlay and external displays on iOS 27
  • Fixed Genesis Game Genie and Action Replay cheat codes not being accepted
  • Fixed missing CheatBase for DS
  • Fixed animated skins not keeping proportions after repeated rotation

This is a much-welcomed, small update that will undoubtedly make Nintendo DS and SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive fans happy. The Delta team have also stated that they have begun work on a large 2.1 update too, so there's more to come from them very soon!
