Now for how Delta sounds. Delta has new audio settings that determine how Delta handles other apps' audio 🎧 “Mix with Other Audio” keeps your music or podcasts playing during games, while “Pause Other Audio” silences everything else when a game starts.

Playing with a physical controller? 🎮 We FINALLY redesigned the input mapping screen for controllers to make setting up your buttons clearer than ever. Plus, we made it possible to long-press the game screen to reposition it, perfect for controllers like the 8BitDo FlipPad ↕️

By far one of our most requested features, controller skins can now have animated buttons 🕹️ It's a new way for skin designers to get creative that makes skins feel more alive as you play. To show it off, the beta includes a new animated GBA skin by our very own Caroline Moore ⭐️
