Howdy y’all! We thought it might be fun to have a roundup to share what everyone’s currently emulating.
To get things started, here’s what we’re playing:
Shane’s exploring the vastness of Pokémon Elysium.
Meanwhile, Riley is retreading a beloved classic in Pokémon HeartGold.
I’m giving Metroid Fusion a try before the new one comes out on the Switch!
Whether you’re deep in a retro classic, trying something new, or rotating through a bunch, show us know in the comments!
Working my way through Pokémon Unbound
Is this your first Pokemon rom hack?
Oh no. I’ve been playing them for years.
Same! Just beat the first gym. Taking my time and working on the Dex casually as I go.
I am taking my sweet time with it too. Beat the first gym and making my way to the second.
How did u get the rom on delta?
I downloaded it from my Google Drive after patching it on my PC
Good looks thanks
It's on pokehacks.net as well
Is this a trustworthy site? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question
This is such a strange question to be asking on the Delta sub
My bad. I got the app right when it released on iOS and got a few games loaded (mainly HGSS and mystery dungeon)
I was under the incorrect impression that only non-ROM games could be loaded into delta and u had to use a computer emulator for rom hacks. I see I’m wrong, didn’t mean to offend
Nah, you're good. We all start somewhere.
The emulators Delta uses are, behind the scenes, the same emulator cores used by emulators on PC. Moreover, romhacks are still just roms. They've just been modified (hacked).
Naw that makes perfect sense. Just being a bot 💀
I used to emulate games on my Android way back in the day. Had the same assumption that needed a PC emulator to play rom hacks...
My girlfriend and I are playing Pokemon Black & White, wishing we could get trading to work, but it’s still fun to keep up with each other!
Currently playing through FF III
Have you played through it before? Curious since I never finished!
This is actually my first time playing through the series in general I started with the first game.
I think I am currently at the halfway point.
Slight spoiler (tagged) that could save you a ton of grief. The spoiler is the name of the final dungeon.
the final dungeon, Crystal Tower, has no way of being left after you enter it. Save right before it because it is challenging
Ooooh thank you for that! Yeah that would make me upset haha.
I had this on my ds as a kid i loved it
Same! but I never finished it.
I recently beat I and II, excited to jump into III next!
I’m almost done with III super fun. Hyped for IV 😎
Advance Wars.
I've played this a lot!! So great for small sessions
Pokemon Lazarus and Golden Sun
How did u get the rom on delta?
I think I downloaded on laptop and then airdropped but you may be able to just download to your phone files
Oh damn lemme give it a try. Thanks!
You can download and patch everything directly on your phone through files. That’s what I do 👌🏼
On Delta GBC: Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil Gaiden.
Pokemon Unbound and Golden Sun
What is golden sun? I just got into rom hacks and am starting with Unbound as it seemed to be the most consistently highly recommended.
Golden Sun is a fantasy RPG. It and its sequel (The Lost Age) are probably the best games I ever played on GBA
Doing Pokemon Heartgold as well, just catching the obtainable legendaries first before i try completing the pokedex.
Trying another hard mode Ironman Fire Emblem run (no resetting, if a unit dies then tough luck) never been able to beat it, but I’m feeling good about this run ;)
I started Fire Emblem last month on GBA, and once I learned my companions experience permadeath, I got a little freaked out.
Currently Pokémon platinum and Lego battles. Before them I emulated Pokemon White 2 and Heartgold. The peak of my childhood.
OMG what is lego battles??

One of the most peak LEGO games on the DS. Idk how to explain how it’s played though. it’s like building up your base and troops to take on another base and troops
There’s also a Lego ninjago version of this game too which I also loved
Pokémon mystery dungeon: red rescue team, Zelda minish cap, Pokémon radical red, fire emblem, Yugioh nightmare troubadour :)
Playing through Pokemon Platinum Redux. The type changes and changed move sets has really made it fun for me. After over 25 years of learning the same typesets it’s actually refreshing to learn what types work against each other in this game.
Finished Pokemon Gaia and now playing Heart Gold. Love GBA/DS pokemon styles.
Replaying pokemon gen 1-5 over and over again
WarioWare Twisted is always my go-to. Endless fun and replayability!
About 7 hours into Pokémon Lazarus, really enjoying it so far!
Diddy kong racing on N64, until you get to the second wizpig race…..then the game crashes after driving through the door.
Pokémon red and blue; Donkey Kong 94. Loving the 90s on my iPhone
I just finished Picross 3D (DS) and while figuring out what to play next did a few rounds this morning of Mario’s Picross 2 (GB), which is a replay.
The Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side Series! I’m on game two!
Spider-man, pokemon lazarus and kingdom hearts! all GBA
New super Mario bros
Replaying through Pokémon Emerald rn!
The 1st Fire Emblem on GBA
The biggest reason I got this app was to play Pokemon
Chrono trigger DS version currently
I'm perpetually working on Chrono Trigger (in 5 minute incriments)... I should beat it before the decade is out... barely.
And I've just started the golden sun game(s) because a friend gave me a copy and said it would work for me on the phone pretty well.
Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance, then Circle of the Moon, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Legend of Zelda: a link to the past randomizers
My big one has been radical red. Got to the E4 on my run. Then I might go back to Emerald Imperium, or give Unbound a try.
Mostly Pokemon games right now, because getting them legitimately is ungodly expensive and difficult.
XBLA bonanza of puzzle quest 2, guardian heroes and dungeon defenders
Fire emblem the sacred stones
Pokémon Black 2
I’ve been trying a bunch of Pokémon rom hacks like unbound, mariomon, renegade plat
DQ IX but I am about to drop it. Made a mistake in revocating once and now I cant get a low level grotto. Which leads me unable to finish a quest.
Pokémon fire red
Pokemon TCG 2 eng translation
I just finished MMPR and playing through Lion King and Batman Forever

A good old significantly less powercrept Yugioh game
Final fantasy tactics advance again lol
I keep coming back to yoshis wooly world
