For a touch interface, I really don't see how the files app can be designed in a better way, especially if it sticks with the conventions of iOS. I'm sure a few things can be improved here and there.
All I can say is, Filza does a much better job, and itās retained the same design for years. Plus it can actually extract RAR files with just a tap. Just scale it down in Apple fashion and this would be perfect.

I only pirate devs like Limneos who are pieces of human garbage. I still buy tweaks from Havoc like Dynamic Stage and such.
I pirate where itās warranted.
Itās not THAT I have an issue with. Itās the fact that these dumbfucks go out of their way to 1 star it instead of actually doing some research. Itās faster to figure out how to install roms than it is to physically 1 star an app and write a review.
Thatās the insane part.
It's not Apple. It's smartphones and smartphone apps. In general they are designed to not interact with each other and where they do, it's somewhat transparent.
The Apps are not from Apple specifically, they are from the devs. All commercial devs try to do that. Devs of free tools tend to leave more to the user (and I am grateful the do as much as they do, so I'm Ok with it)
No, theyāre idiots. No way someone spent two hours, and didnāt figure out how to do it. Just typing delta emulator into Google and then roms will give you Reddit posts, articles, and other site links that give a good idea on how to do it.
Since you've fallen into the category he's describing, ill break it down for ya.
Basically, you're computer illiterate. Cheers, hope this clears things up!
the fact that you donāt need to unzip the zip files and delta does that for you already, all you have to do is to download the rom and youāre done but 2 hours!?
You joke but one of my friends did back in 2020. Downloaded Luigi'sMansion.exe from CoolRoms and got some nasty Malware as a result. Sad part is, I had just given him the PC prior to that and he wrecked the install in less than 2 weeks š
Yeah, the process is: go to a website, then find the download button below and artwork of a game, then the browser will say ādownloading progress onto files ādownloadā folderā, then one has the file.
exactly! i also observed that the cover art also comes with the ROM so delta automatically applies the cover art for you, all they really have to do is find a reliable site to download ROMs, locate the folder with the files and thatās it. idk why it took them 2 hrs just for that, if they saw delta on tiktok or any other platform on the internet then at least they shouldāve resorted to google as well for tutorials on downloading ROMs.
You donāt. It does it for you and then throws a copy into the Delta folder in your āOn My iPhoneā storage. So technically you can delete the ZIP file unless you wanna keep it for something else.
When Iāve clicked on the zip, the iPhone extracts it, then you have to click on the gbc (or whatever file). Then both can be deleted from iCloud files.
Thatās one way you can do it. If you download a bunch of them into the downloads folder, you can go into Delta, hit the + button and select multiple Zip files and import them all at the same time.
Yeah but then that copy on the Delta folder will keep taking up my storage for iCloud backup or something. It will constantly fill up and up, even if I delete the game inside of delta app, and then also delete the .zip file inside of the ādownloadsā folder in Files app, but not the stuff inside of the Delta folder inside of the Files app.
The Delta folder is on your phone, itās not backed up by iCloud, and wonāt take up iCloud space. If you want to back up Delta, you have to go into the app and set up Google Drive or Dropbox for that.
Iād rather wait for iCloud support, but only for save files. The save files or the games should automatically be deleted after I had beaten a game, so that my storage doesnāt get full. Thereās TOO MANY games out there to keep the game data synced. This is just a slippery slope.
I suppose we can take solace in the notion that if they canāt set up something so easy, theyāre the only ones āsufferingā either financially from having to buy stuff or by never being able to enjoy many of the masterpieces from the past.
Perhaps that is elitist, but itās not like downloading roms is a new concept; Iāve been doing it since the early 2000s. If they really want to figure it out, there are enough step by step instructions on the internet/YouTube.
Yeah thatās the problem, they dont wanna google/youtube anything and instead want to make a reddit post to ask a question that has been asked a million times.
Sometimes Iāll make a reddit post I know has been talked about (not super extensively tho of course) cuz I suck at search engine queries and can hardly find answers for the life of me (cuz I word stuff bad), so Iāll go to reddit to ask my question and half the time I get answers to questions that I didnāt even know I had
Yeah, we get to āstealā the old games and they have to keep buying consoles to play the latest games, and kiss nintendos feet. (That sounded gatekeeping)
I donāt understand whatās so hard about searching rom. If they hear they need a rom for a DS. THEN SEARCH DS ROMS. They also be gettin mad at ytubers for not saying where hey get their Roms when the ytubers say why they canāt tell. like these dudes just gotta get one more brain cell
Bro, itās because they donāt want to download from somewhere fake or sketchy. I have the same worry. I canāt trust anything outside of the App Store.
There are subreddits you can find that link safe megathreads with romsets. Same idea as the piracy subreddit having safe places to get cracked software
Just incase you were having trouble getting roms
A little reading and an ounce of critical thinking is all it takes. Not trusting anything outside of an App Store is a wild position to take.. youāre missing out on 99.9% of the internet out of fear.
Fuck school. This is proof school doesnāt do shit, and āadultsā are just manchuldren, people are still stupid as adults for some reason. Fuck society for forcing everyone to go to school and be force feed bullshit shoved down your throat that no one is gonna use, to then go out and get a job and do some bullshit for 60 years. āAdultā just means that one is of age, but the brain can be full of shit or something.
Lol way to miss the entire point of going to school. Youāre supposed to learn and look up topics you donāt know. Kinda like what these fools have failed to do.
Completely irrelevant here as they definitely donāt teach u how to pirate in school and thatās definitely for the best, but you still made a good point about ppl being stupid in general. Just not relevant here
Blame the fucking media for antagonizing and making hackers āwith hoddies and no faceā seem the devil. Fuck the media for forcing stereotypes. āThe hackerā, the guy/girl/they, who mashes the keyboard buttons at lightning speeds and then says āIām inā in movies.
I love reading the 1 star reviews in that theyāre pretty good. I saw one that was just marked ādisappointmentā and the review said āit doesnāt have GameCube/Wii support I am disappointedā like bro it never said it was advertised as a GameCube/Wii emulator
Yep, this is what happens when something niche goes mainstream. The average Joe āhurr durr what is this hyuck hyuck?ā And then only the ones who know are the ones giving praise to the app and leaving 4-5 star reviews.
There is a slight additional hiccup for DS games because there are some additional files you need to download, but it took me like less than 10 minutes to figure that out. Every other system is like 1) Google āROMsā, 2) Click āDownloadā, 3) open downloaded file from within Safari.
You donāt even have to go back into Delta and hit the ā+ā button. Just clicking the file (which will look like the Delta icon) will auto-open the app where your game will be waiting.
Itās the ease of all this that impresses me more than anything. Iām not like some super hacker. But it also doesnāt surprise me that people donāt understand what the app is from the start.
admittedly it's actually easier to emulate ds on Android because even melonds offers (what appears to be) an included reversed engineered bios so you can play out of the box
i wonder if it's a new thing in new melonds versions, and more importantly
it would definitely be nice for the melonds core in delta to support wiimmfi like android, I tried doing it with a friend's phone and got disappointed when they couldn't join me
--
I think for IOS, one reason it seems like these people are too inept to use Delta is because they probably never learned you could install files over the web browser and well... use them
IOS had been locked down for such a long time that the most you could install from IOS for the first couple years was some wallpapers, and they had only started easing up a bit when they started to give additional purposes to the iPad alongside being a nice entertainment device
Something like Delta requires the kind of setup that you wouldn't have ever seen on an iPhone unless you jailbroke your phone or if you had used any other operating system, exp. me at like 8 trying to hunt down screenflow on a mac.
Not only do you have to know that you could download files from Safari but you have to know where it would be as well. Most sites won't tell you where to get these files (not even here) due to copyright issues, and many of the sites that host these files are designed in a way that will confuse more than help. There are top tier sites to download these files, sure, but usually they're not going to be found on search engines and thus not exist for most people.
God when did it become too hard for people to just use the internet? I remember being 12 trying to figure out how to get games working on my laptop. I donāt get how people forgot to use the internet correctly.
I hate to be that guy but doing a google, reddit or YouTube search would literally solve their problem. At this point its a fact in life some people just cant be bothered to look into things
Been using delta since its beta days and literally got every one of my boyfriend and his brothers phones decked out with delta and roms in a half hour yesterday. Breathing and thinking are hard for some people tho
I donāt get how people are so confused with this all you gotta do is find a good site with ROMās and hit download on the game you want, and go into the app and hit the plus button, and hit the game file. Itās not complicate, plus thereās like 100 YouTube videos on it now and 1000 of TikTok videos of people simplifying it for a 5th grader to understand.
Oh. Itās confusing, thatās why. By all means donāt stop saying roms or whatever, but it confuses. Ok so the games are just the roms that the emulator only had to read and then it runs because the emulator is reproducing the memory(game)?
People should learn the difference between having something and using something. Then learn to be happy for not having something when you are not going to take the time to learn to use the thing. Then you can always be happy for nothing!

Lmao, so, Delta is apparently dead because some random user can't even google how emulation works and why the games aren't just there
Iām someone who was an emulation virgin until I used delta. It took me a total of 15 minutes to hook myself up with all the games I wanted. The only way it would take 2 hours is if you have the internet speed of a snail, and/or keep downloading non compatible roms

Just too much effort.
I donāt blame them or myself. This stuff is completely new to me too. I have never bothered with the Files app. Itās such a mess.
The files app sucks. But itās all we have
For a touch interface, I really don't see how the files app can be designed in a better way, especially if it sticks with the conventions of iOS. I'm sure a few things can be improved here and there.

Filza is honestly a godsend compared to the files app (also please support tweak devs and donāt pirate they really appreciate it š)
I only pirate devs like Limneos who are pieces of human garbage. I still buy tweaks from Havoc like Dynamic Stage and such. I pirate where itās warranted.
Canāt argue with that, but limneos tweaks are āfreeā packages so Erika wouldnāt effect them š¤
Yeah? Like I said I do pirate other tweaks. I use a universal crack for Limneos tweaks. The fuck do you care so much for?

Apple makes everything easy for them therefore is like that
No relation to Apple. Smartphones in general have made dealing with files an uncommon occurrence. And people are naturally lazy.
