NDS 2026
Best NDS Games for Delta Emulator in 2026
Six ranked picks spanning remakes, direct sequels, and a standout ROM hack — every entry here runs clean in Delta on iPhone.
Overview
The Nintendo DS library plays exceptionally well in Delta on iPhone — dual-screen games map cleanly to the top/bottom layout, touch controls translate directly to the display, and load times are near-instant compared to the original hardware. This list narrows the catalog down to six games worth your storage space in 2026, weighted toward the Pokemon generation that made the DS such a strong handheld for the series.
The ranking favors games with the most content per download: remakes with quality-of-life the originals never had, direct sequels that build meaningfully on their predecessors, and one ROM hack that reworks an already-great game into something even more replayable.
Every entry links to its own download page with full details, screenshots, and Delta install steps.
The Ranking
Good to Know
All six games above run natively in Delta with no BIOS file or separate patching step. New to the emulator? Start with our Delta install guide and how to add ROMs from the Files app.
Want a head start instead of a full playthrough? The Pokemon Platinum 100% Completion Save and Pokemon HeartGold All Shiny Save are good places to look.
