Online Multiplayer For Nintendo DS Games Is Coming To Delta | Retro Dodo - eviltoast

Thanks to Delta, a popular iPhone emulator, Nintendo DS fans can soon enjoy online multiplayer support for their favorite retro titles.

On The Verge, Riley Testut revealed the multiplayer functionality leverages melonDS’s online multiplayer code and connects through 3rd-party servers, allowing any Delta user around the world to compete in games like Mario Kart DS as they did back when Nintendo servers were still operational. No official release date has been set yet, but Patreon subscribers will have access to a beta version before it goes public. The service is set for free once available, just like the rest of Delta.

    That will be fantastic. I have been enjoying Delta, and DS translates surprisingly well to iOS. Having the bottom half of the screen touch sensitive means you never have to reach too far. And the screens on the DS were not too different in size from stacking them on the phone screen. It would be really great to get Mario Kart and Tetris going online.
