Delta 1.4b5: It's only cheating if you get caught!
Added 2023-02-02 19:57:40 +0000 UTCHey Everyone! We are back this week with a very important announcement: a new Delta beta is now available 🎉
This beta focuses on a couple nice additions - an integrated cheat database “CheatBase” and a new mute switch setting.
Starting with CheatBase, you can now search for available cheat codes and easily add them from “Cheat Codes” in the pause menu. Right now, this feature is limited to DS games, but we're hoping to input more cheats into the database soon for other systems. Special shoutout to Noah Keck for helping make this happen, his work on creating a database has made this feature possible!
Second, there is a new mute switch setting. Given that people all use Delta in their own way - music on/game audio/silent mode - we have added a new mute switch setting, “Respect Silent Mode.” This we feel is the best solution for every situation. When enabled, Delta will only play game audio if you’re not in Silent Mode. Not only that, but Delta will now also mute game audio by default if you have music playing in the background. If you’re like me at all (Shane), you like to jam out while you catch Pokemon - now you can!
We hope you all enjoy these updates, and we plan to release Delta 1.4 RC soon with the public release shortly after! Following that, we’re excited to start working on Delta 1.5 which will include some more highly requested features - especially if you like playing together with a friend ;)
Best,
Riley + Shane

Comments
We’re sorry you feel this way, it is not our intention to withhold updates to Delta. AltStore has been a major focus this past year, and we apologize for making it seem as though Delta was not getting updated. This latest beta is the first of a few releases we have planned for Delta to start the year, and it’s a small update so that we can wrap up Delta 1.4 and release it for everyone. We have bigger changes coming in 1.5, such as local multiplayer and optimized AirPlay support, and should have a first beta release within the next few weeks. That being said…we truly appreciate the support you’ve shown, and we’re sorry to have let you down. We know it’s hard to wait so long between Delta updates without any statements from us, and that’s entirely our fault. We want to be better about communicating our goals for both AltStore and Delta, so we’re making it a priority to be more clear what our intentions are going forward. We promise we’re still very much committed to Delta, and we hope to prove that with these next few updates.

2023-02-06 02:13:52 +0000 UTCI have decided I am leaving support for this Patreon. It has occurred to me that you don’t care about your supporters. You are simply using us as a source of income without even really listening to us and trying to do some of the things we request. You do like one update a year for almost £9000 a month. You are robbing us all blind and you know it. I truly hope Delta and Altstore does well, but I hope you begin to stop wasting peoples trust and finance and actually do something worth while for the people who are financially supporting you, instead of waiting for as long as you can, to realease as little as you can to make this go for longer. People will soon wise up to this behaviour and you will loose everything. I strongly supported you guys for quite some time, but I was stupid

2023-02-03 01:35:43 +0000 UTCLittle disappointed with this release to be honest 😔 ... Oh well I guess any improvement is an improvement, I was just hoping for better genesis support and also more support for the consoles which the Genesis Plus GX core supports...
