Game Boy Emulators for iPhone are nothing new, and previously we have written about several Game Boy and other Nintendo handheld game console emulators including the GBA4iOS, NDS4iOS and more. The GBA Delta emulator, on the other hand, comes with its own set of features which is why most of the iPhone users prefer GBA Deltra Emulator over other emulators mentioned above.
The GBA Delta Emulator is developed by the same developers who developed the GBA4iOS, but Delta emulator is specially designed for the non-jailbroken iOS device in mind. Using the emulator, you can play GameBoy, N64 and Super Nintendo games on your iOS device.
