The game emulation situation on iOS just got real. The oft rejected game emulator Delta has finally made its way...

Unfortunately I was proven to be right about Riley Testut. He’s yet another greedy person barely batter than Apple. After bitching to Apple to remove GBA4iOS from the App Store he’s now leveraging Delta to force people into his AltStore.

Delta has finally made its way to the App Store. Additionally, the Delta developer has also published their alternative marketplace, AltStore, in the EU today.

If you’re in the EU you’ll only be able to get Delta on the AltStore and that requires:

This is complete bullshit he could’ve just launched Delta on the App Store in Europe as well but he decided not to.

Thanks Riley Testut for being a dick to the people that actually forced Apple into allowing alternative app stores in the first place.

      I don’t get the special treatment for US users. But okay.

      I really hope that RetroArch (that is actually done by decent people) get’s released in the stores soon and Delta / Testut fades away.

          Let’s forget about the inequality situation that was created here, even though it was mostly created by his choices of accepting the “new terms” and wanting to launch the AltStore.

          Do you like to have a phone where you’re forced into having just the Apple App Store? You don’t, you want freedom to choose whatever App Store you would like to use.

          This is exactly the same, instead of just making Delta available on the EU Stores for a price (in order to cover the CTF tax) he decided to restrict it to his single store.
