PSA: Pokemon Bank is shutting down February 26, 2027

EDIT: happy to help anyone who needs it via the comments or DM! Let’s save ‘em all!

The end of an era is approaching 😔

Pokemon Bank is shutting down in 2027, which means that transferring Pokemon from previous generations will become much more difficult (unless they announce some kind of helpful tool between now and then).

But until an announcement is made, it's a great time to move your Pokemon from Delta into Pokemon Home. I wrote this a little while back to help with the process: https://www.reddit.com/r/Delta_Emulator/s/7pBhbuTDED

I'd be happy to add more to it if y'all have any extra questions or have more scenarios in mind!

AltStore Classic 2.3b2: Even More Automatic On-Device Sideloading

Howdy, y’all! We’re excited to bring you AltStore Classic 2.3 beta 2, featuring major improvements to your on-device sideloading experience!

This release introduces automatic anisette server selection and built-in pairing file generation. With help from our friends at Sidestore, we’ve included a pre-set list of servers so you no longer have to find them yourself. We’re also introducing “Configure Remote AltServer,” which allows AltStore to handle creating and managing pairing files directly. Big thanks to jcoxson for his work on idevice, which made this feature a reality!

To get started with this version, you will first need to install the new betas of AltServer Mac & AltServer Windows. Don't forget to check out our updated FAQ, which now features much shorter instructions thanks to these changes! 🙂

Delta 2.0b4: Redesigned Settings + Cheats & New Feature from Epilogue!

Howdy everybody! We’re back with the fourth beta for Delta 2.0, and I think you’re going to like what this one packs.

As part of our Liquid Glass redesign, we’ve brought Delta’s settings into the modern age, with plenty of opportunity to make things feel even more intuitive than before. And who knows? You may find some new favorite features now that they’re easier to find. And for an extra bit of panache, you can now embellish your cheat codes with fun symbols!

We blurred the lines between emulation and retro gameplay even further, thanks to some help from our friends at Epilogue and their GB & SN Operator. Now you can connect your old game cartridges to your device and play them in Delta, along with all your old save files, so you can pick up right where you left off!

Lastly, if you fire up the SNES core, you might notice things feel a little quieter. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve fixed that pesky audio crackle at last! Thanks for speaking up about that, and we welcome additional feedback on what matters to you!
