iPhone's Delta Emulator Has Just Got Online Play For Nintendo DS Games

that’s pretty cool! I just downloaded Pretendo onto my home brewed 3ds (which is like this but for 3ds and wii u games) and I’m assuming online DS play is even more stable since it’s been worked on longer. When this goes public ill definitely check it out, or just try it out on real hardware (somehow)

Let's just hope and pray that this doesn't get taken down as it's such a great little app.

Nintendo could just as easily have released such an app themselves with ROMs available for purchase. I get their whole not-wanting-to-devalue-their-brands schtick, but allowing their back catalogue to merely languish in history is ridiculous from a business standpoint.

I will not pay to merely rent ROMs that could fit on a floppy disk multiple times over. There's virtually no work that goes into these old games. Citizen Kane or The Godfather with expensive new 4K transfers they ain't. It's just the same old code mostly (if not entirely) untouched since their heyday.

Interesting to see how this works as IIRC the DS is much like the PSP as it cannot connect to modern wifi, the best way is using your phone's hotspot with no security and that's slow, costs more and is unsafe.

Zero chance the big N isn't going to step in at some point. Same people that said it wouldn't happen to Palworld, will say that here. The bigger this app gets the more likely that is to happen. No logic behind why it wouldn't, is going to save it.

I don't mind waiting. Let the patrons sort out the bugs in beta, it's all good.
