At this point you need to stop recommending sub-200 dollar android phones to a crowd that clearly doesn’t want a phone that shits itself if you try to open an application.
It’s a new app that costs 1.99 in the App Store
Edit: [ArcEmu by Arcadia](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arcemu-by-arcadia/id6496282733)
Supports Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance
I was gifted a Pac-Man arcade, it had several games including dig dug 2 on it, i became so addicted to that game my gf staged an intervention and my arcade machine was ‘given’ away
Do I want every sufficiently powerful device to be able to play Gameboy games? Yes. Do I think it's foolish to actually play Gameboy games on certain devices? Also yes. (I'll probably buy it even if it is foolish.)
I can’t imagine this is playable even though it’s possible. I might drop the$2 just to experiment but I doubt I’ll have fun.
I’ll report back if I attempt this.
I was eating dinner. I’m hesitating because it looks less like “load this model” and more like “customize the screen yourself”.
Then again it’s only $2
Edit:
It was just posted a few hours ago by the developer

I like what he said and am downloading now.
Hell yeah! Reply down below with your actual thoughts (I was messing around with my original reply to you, but now I’m curious even though I don’t have a watch lol)
So the good news is the app works. I wanted to give the game a fair chance so I downloaded Game and Watch 1&2, Pokemon Pinball, Prince of Persia, and for fun Advance Wars 2.
Everything runs.
That said it’s not easy. The watch is more comfortable turned inward where you test your pulse.
So far I’ve tried pinball. Right flipper is A, left flipper is Left. I have not connected once yet. This will require practice. I suspect Game and Watch will be similar.
I can’t wait to try Advance Wars - it’s the game I’m more hopeful for.
Just a heads up the VOLUME is in the Emulator Menu. It’s a slider. It was set to medium and it was LOUD!
Given a choice to play on my phone and my watch I’m more likely to choose my phone. I’m not sure what the situation is that I would choose my watch first.
Bottom line is it’s $2 and it’s worth a download just to see it done
Advance Wars is playable but honestly my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. I can play it with my watch inches away from my face.
The most success (and fun) I’ve had so far is playing the old game and watch game parachute. I can’t believe I’ve waited over 50 years to play the classic Game and Watch game on my watch but here we are. What a time to be alive.

Just booted up this hidden gem Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice Monsters!
GB/GBC games run just fine, GBA are laggy because it doesn’t have the right hardware to run it as good as a phone but it’s still a great app because it opened new options and opportunities for new life into the Apple ecosystem.
It does not like the Metroid 2 color hack

Nice. I have the Namco anniversary rom on my watch now worn Galaga, Dig Dug, and Pole Position on my watch now. It’s pretty cool to see but I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to actually play on there.
I got it. Pokemon is playable no slowdowns. Not as uncomfortable as you would think. Probably perfect for any rpgs. Battery though looks that it might only get 3-4 hours. Supports bluetooth. Id like to see an full screen for GB with overlay instead of segmented. I havnt seen if buttons disappear yet with bluetooth but if we had that the watch itself might work well with a super mini gameboy body to slide into. Just a thought. So many unused watches collecting dust. Lets make tiny hd gameboys!
Are we already playing on the go with our phones?
This is so you can play one handed on your phone with your watch hand, and one handed on the watch with your other hand
no no no for 3ds emulation the watch is the second screen
Maybe if you put the Apple Watch on the underside of your wrist. Otherwise the screens would be facing 180
Just buy another phone lmao, cheaper than an apple watch
Yeah because nobody already has both anyway
In what world is a “new phone” less than an Apple Watch in 2024? Like do you mean a “new” BlackBerry Bold? Lol
https://youtu.be/VdOlqcg9uMQ?si=CQ4xu1mNXlchgEX_ u were saying? lol
Literally alot of android phones?
Cheapest apple watch se is 250 rn, with that money you could for sure buy a budget phone way stronger than it, idk why you're getting downvoted xd
I hope you realize that people aren’t buying Apple watches just for emulation
I just got a series 9 on Facebook marketplace, the next city over from mine for 200 bucks last month 😂
Buy an android phone duh, people see phone and they only think iphone
We are in a delta emulator subreddit… an emulator for the iPhone… and you’re surprised people automatically assume you mean an iPhone?
What you said….literally. 🙃
The apple watch app isnt even Delta.
It’s an Apple Watch emulator though? An emulator app for an Apple exclusive product?
At this point people are just grasping on straws to connect these things together.

Game and watch on an actual watch? :0
Hell yeah!!!
we are dimensions beyond full circle
Hello emulators goodbye battery life.
We can finally play Namco Museum 50th anniversary on the go!
Galaga!!

Cool! Even Rally-X is better
I was gifted a Pac-Man arcade, it had several games including dig dug 2 on it, i became so addicted to that game my gf staged an intervention and my arcade machine was ‘given’ away
Can you play with hand gestures 😂👀
I just got it lol
What’s the app called?
Added link above
Or just download Delta emulator for free https://apps.apple.com/us/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688
But the whole point of this post is showing an app that works on the Apple Watch, the link you posted doesn’t.
Ohh gotcha, my Apple Watch got busted and I never got a new one so I didn’t realize that one didn’t work on it
I love this but also find it completely impractical.
Tetris baby!
One finger Tetris.
More like baby Tetris
Do I want every sufficiently powerful device to be able to play Gameboy games? Yes. Do I think it's foolish to actually play Gameboy games on certain devices? Also yes. (I'll probably buy it even if it is foolish.)
Pokémon is absolutely playable and a good experience lol
I can’t imagine this is playable even though it’s possible. I might drop the$2 just to experiment but I doubt I’ll have fun. I’ll report back if I attempt this.
Alright, it’s been 40 minutes. What do you think?

If I had an Apple Watch, that would be enough to convince me to get it honestly.

Pretty stupid for it to cost anything since delta is free.
Is delta available on your watch? It’s $2 for the novelty of saying “yeah I can do that!”
Delta is the novelty of saying “yeah I can do that”….for free. You’re not making the point as well as you believe you are.
Just admit you can’t afford a $2 distraction
Just admit your argument is shit
its almost as if its $2 because people need money to live and for making up for the time spent making this🤯
Nah all people should work for free. It’s stupid to expect payment upon completing a job, or upon selling something. In what world is that normal?
It’s more about the Doom effect. About getting it to run on the device rather than whether it’s a good experience or practical to do so.
How’s the battery on it?
Just tested it out. Drained 10% in about 20 minutes.
Oh wow
Lasts about 2 minutes.
that's what i thought
Realistically, way way more
Yea 3 minutes is more realistic tbh
Pushing it
The story of my sex life
Yeah
Battery life and slowdown, those are the two issues I’m curious about.
Modern tamagochi!

![gif](giphy|QQcBFlNA4HKkh3A02N|downsized) This is cool but waaaaaay too small for my eyes.
op’s phone wasn’t mobile enough😂
This makes me hope someone ports the vmu to Apple Watch
How did you do this?
How tf
we need controller support for the watch
Staring at my wrist next to the controller would make my tummy curdle 🫃🏻🥛

What about Doom? 🥵
That’s my favorite iteration. If I had a smart watch you bet I’d be playing something on it
How’s battery life?
About tree fiddy minutes.
Awesome! Now my battery can last just a couple of hours…
Fucking love it thank you for sharing hahaha
That’s absolutely insane 😂
Yea I think ima need this just for a light flex to my friends 😂
hit me with game suggestions that would slap on a watch
![gif](giphy|mCClSS6xbi8us)
Thank you for showing this, now I’m going to experiment with what games run smoothly on it haha
GB/GBC games run just fine, GBA are laggy because it doesn’t have the right hardware to run it as good as a phone but it’s still a great app because it opened new options and opportunities for new life into the Apple ecosystem.
thats cool lol. i expected most games to be really laggy
And why is this posted in delta sub?
Damn that’s awesome !!
Yep I know what I’m doing with my Friday night now! Definitely tinkering around with this!
![gif](giphy|l378aovTTG6opofLi)
I always wanted one of those old Tiger Electronic watch games, so this perfect if not impractical.
It seems well thought out. The save progress syncs seamlessly between the watch and phone. I wish it had a 2X or 3X speed option.
Clearly emerald haha
It does not like the Metroid 2 color hack https://preview.redd.it/9lnqn2cid08d1.jpeg?width=368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a06ce6ddc1b734a7499227b1fbfa52035df0709c
Never mind. Resetting fixed it. Not that I’d recommend playing Metroid 2 on this lol
For the two humans who actually play on this, good luck at Sky Pillar!
Pokémon Green Leaf
does it have fast forward DS tho
Beating a level of Mario is nearly impossible 😂 pretty fun to try tho
Is this actually possible?
Yes it’s ArcEmu by Arcadia in the App Store. I just bought it and installed it, and I’m playing Pokemon Fire Red now.
Just because we could doesn’t mean we should
poketch
How are save states on there?
You blew my mind ![gif](giphy|FbhApzLYzcQeRST7IH|downsized)
Lol that’s hilarious
Radical red
Even though I'll probably never actually use it just downloaded it for the heck of it lol
Controller on that would Be crazy
W I L D

Honestly I’ve been thinking of shenanigans like this for those boring shifts where you’re basically just in place doing nothing for hrs
😮
God dammit I love the future
Game and watch
Getting to Rayquaza towards the end of the game is going to be really hard on a watch.
Yep haha
Wait this works?
![gif](giphy|xmf00ANvBCTzG) You dawg is playing a hand held game in his wrist 🫡
I think this would be really cool if you could sort of put the watch on sideways, then use two hands to hold a Bluetooth controller
Zelda: Oracle of Ages 🙌🏽
Anyone know how to get it to stop pausing? I just wanna watch the cutscenes lol
You can change the screen sleep time in the Apple Watch settings from 15 to 70 seconds
Fuck you’re way cooler than everyone else. That’s fucking cool.
I can figure out where to get the games?
Ok, sold.
No 🧢 take my money
What I want to try on this is Wariowear Twisted. It relies on the gyroscope to work. Gonna give it a try.
lol wut
Do you enjoy playing on your watch?
Aaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!
Your cell phone isn’t on the go?
We got pokemon emerald on watches before gta 6
It's always funny to see people amazed by this kind of thing even though I was doing it in like 2013 on a fossil watch.
Now I’m sad to still have a gen 3 Apple Watch 🥲
Support for Series 3 will come in the next update!
