Delta 1.7b1 - Online Multiplayer is HERE

Howdy Patrons!

Today we have something very special for you! Finally one of our most requested features is ready for beta testing - Online Multiplayer 🎮 🛜 🎮

For the first time ever, you can connect to other Delta players online with the same Nintendo WFC experience you remember - get ready to share those Friend Codes! This is some real old-school net code, but it still works 😄  This should work with any game that supports Nintendo WFC, which means you'll be able to trade Pokemon, race your friends in Mario Kart, visit each other's Animal Crossing islands, and more!

However, you'll need to do a few things first to get set up, which is why we put together a guide on our FAQ with everything you need to know: https://faq.deltaemulator.com/using-delta/online

Plus we even added something new in Experimental Features for fans of N64 — OpenGL ES 3 support! We've enabled this by default, and it should fix many common graphical issues, including the timer in Majora's Mask 👹 And for the real nerds out there, you can now directly edit the Mupen64Plus config file to take advantage of more advanced features like custom resolutions and even texture packs!

And last but not least, we couldn’t have done all this without the amazing work done by Arisotura on melonDS. Please check out their Patreon and consider supporting them!!

Best,

Riley + Shane
