Delta Emulator vs Delta iOS: Same Name, Different App

Confused by two apps called Delta? This guide separates the Android app by Shanks Game from the iPhone Delta emulator by a different developer.

Why the confusion exists

Two unrelated apps ended up with the same name. The iPhone Delta app is a well-known iOS emulator by one developer; The Android app is a separate app by Shanks Game. Search results mix them constantly, so here is the clean split. The Android build is covered in full on the Delta Emulator home page.

The emulator for Android

Package com.truc.delta.emulator.executor, 51 MB XAPK, published by Shanks Game. It installs on Android 7.0 and up, is ad-supported with in-app purchases, and holds a 2.3 rating from 302 Google reviews. This is the app served on this site.

The iPhone app

A different codebase by a different developer, built for iOS. It never appears on this site, its saves and settings do not transfer to the Android app, and its documentation does not apply here. If a tutorial mentions iOS-specific steps, it is describing the other app.

How to tell which one a guide means

Check three things: the package name (that package means Android), the file type (XAPK means Android), and the developer (Shanks Game means Android). When all three match, you are reading about the Android app and the guides here apply.

Quick answers

Are the Android and iPhone Delta emulators the same app?

No. They share a name and a retro-gaming idea, but they are built by different developers for different platforms and are not related.

Can I use my iPhone Delta saves in the Android app?

No. The apps are unrelated, so saves, settings, and accounts do not transfer between them.

Which Delta should Android users download?

The Android app: the emulator Executor by Shanks Game, available from the download page on this site.
