The creator of the Delta emulator made a Game Boy Camera-style app for your iPhone
Riley Testut, the developer behind the robust Delta emulator app for iOS, announced a new iPhone app designed to replicate the Game Boy Camera accessory but with 'features you'd expect from a modern camera app.'The Delta Camera app's full feature list hasn't been revealed yet, but it's currently available for beta testing to those who subscribe to Testut's Patreon, which starts at $3/month, or $30.24/year, ahead of a full release later this year. The app will replicate the low resolution and monochromatic aesthetic of the Game Boy Camera cartridge that debuted in 1998 with a 128x128-pixel CMOS sensor that could capture 0.001434MP images in just four shades of gray. The Delta Camera will allow the brightness and contrast of images to be adjusted and can capture multi-shot panoramas, but also adds manual exposure and zoom options, the option to use the iPhone's front or back cameras, and full support for the Camera Control button introduced on the iPhone 16 lineup. It could be a fun solution for those missing the Game Boy Camera experience. The accessory is still compatible with modern handhelds featuring a cartridge slot like the Analogue Pocket, but an app version on iOS will make it much easier to share images and post them to social media.
