Delta 1.4b1: Delta, meet iPad! (Patreon)

Buckle up y'all, Delta for iPad has finally arrived!

You read that right: today’s Patreon update is a new Delta beta fully optimized for iPad, including some beautiful new iPad-specific skins! This means Delta can FINALLY take full advantage of your iPad's big, beautiful display — all the way from the 7.9" iPad mini to the 12.9" iPad Pro! We have big plans for the iPad version of Delta, so please keep in mind this is just the first beta; additional iPad-exclusive features such as Split View multitasking and Focus Engine support will being coming in future betas. That being said, we know there hasn’t been a meaningful update to Delta in a while, so we really wanted to release this beta ASAP; hopefully it'll somewhat make up for delay 😉

We plan to redesign all existing controller skins for iPad, and this first beta includes initial iPad redesigns for NES, SNES, and DS controller skins (which look AMAZING). The remaining systems are currently using temporary controller skins based on the existing iPhone skins, but we plan to update them all with iPad-specific designs over the next few betas. In general though, we strongly recommend using a keyboard or game controller with Delta on iPad, and can confirm both options work great with this beta 😊

Here's everything that's included in this beta:

NEW

• iPad-optimized UI
• Redesigned iPad controller skins for NES, SNES, and DS games
• Temporary iPad controller skins for GBC, GBA, Genesis, and N64 games

IMPROVED

• Uses modern menu UI when importing games
• Updated icon for "Copy Deep Link" action when sharing a game

FIXED

• Fixed keyboard support on iOS 15+
• Fixed invisible "Games" navigation bar + toolbar on iOS 15+
• Fixed error sharing games via certain share methods
• Fixed exporting save files for games with names containing special characters
• Fixed UI bug where previous game controller would remaining selected after switching
• Fixed game controller input mapping UI on iPad
• Fixed crash when importing games on iPad
• Fixed crash when sharing games on iPad

This is an update we have been SUPER excited to share with you all, so we hope you enjoy it! We want to make the iPad version of Delta a best-in-class iPad app, so please let us know what you'd like to see most and we'll do our best to add as much as possible 🎉
