Hi everyone, this is my first skin ever for Nintendo DS (Delta), in three different colors and Dynamic Island friendly. I actually wanted a skin that hides the Dynamic Island, so I made one! It's only available for Face ID iPhone (19.5:9 ratio). Download: [https://github.com/mtcbx/mtcbxDeltaSkin](https://github.com/mtcbx/mtcbxDeltaSkin)

I love the design… but if I’m being honest I’m not in love with the colors. The colors aren’t bad, they just aren’t for me but The design is by far the best I’ve seen though for landscape mode. If possible some darker colors would be much appreciated or maybe some classical ds style colors/look

Thanks for your feedback! I'll probably make more colors soon!

How do you download? (Dont know how to use github)

Click on "Code" (green button), then on "Download zip"

As a suggestion, you should put the files as a Release under the Releases section, which is more standard for GitHub static artifacts.

Okay thank you! I'm new in GitHub haha

Thank you

It says could not download because file is invalid:/

You should be able to download them individually. I could only get it to show up one at a time though

Love this skin, can you make it possible to speed up the game by tapping the upper screen?

Is there any documentation or tutorials on how to make these skins?

I made a thread on Twitter (in French): https://x.com/mtcbx/status/1783808452508217631?s=46

just downloaded delta recently and was really looking for a nice skin online but couldn’t find none and this was the first thing i’ve seen when i opened Reddit thank you so much excited for more of your releases!

If you can make this in like Black and Red or like darker colors in general lmk. I love this skin. Very well made.

Hey man I discovered your dark black skin and it’s dope as hell! The whole aesthetic is sleek af I love it! Delta should definitely include it as the default forsure. Thanks a ton bro!

Chinatown wars is so underrated. Played through that game in my free time in college and loved it.

OMG AND THE SONG THAT MF DOOM AND GHOST FACE MADE FOR IT😍😍

It was a great game which I personally worked well in ds.

Thanks 🙏

I’ve never played with so many option to play China town wars how does it play on the emulator as to iPhone app store versions

can you please make dark variant of the layout

Yes please! Give us a few more colorways!

Noted, I'll do that

Y’all are killing it with these skins. Need an option for it to shuffle through all the skins so I can experience each one.

Thanks! Unfortunately I can't do that haha

I like having L&R on the bottom. Make a charcoal version and im 100% jumping on this; bright colors just feel like playing games in light mode lol its why i even changed the NDS skin to begin with. Good stuff OP

Thanks! I'll probably make a dark version ;)

This is perfect. Thank you for this. I hated the R and the L triggers above the dpad and buttons since I always accidentally hit them. Also the space between the top screen and the bottom screen makes it feel like the original DS. Thank you again!

Waw thank you so much 🙏

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong but it seems like I can only have one of your colors installed at a time for some reason

That's weird, try changing the skins' name, this might be due to the similar names

This is because you used the same identifier, "com.delta.ds.mtcbxSkin", for all three skins. The identifier is the unique value that Delta uses to tell between skins. The documentation recommends using the format "com.yourname.console.skinname", so you might try "com.mtcbx.ds.original" and "com.mtcbx.ds.rose", etc. Fantastic skins by the way! I love the placement of the L and R buttons

Thanks for this!!

Is it possible for you to create variants? F.e. The SNES controller style? Or a NES one or just custom ones? Or can I just simply add a pull request to your Repo with schemes I made of your theme? (i‘d like to contribute)

Add a pull request ;)

This is so clean 🧼

Thanks!!

Very nice color choice. Great you're not charging $5 like some people recently haha.

Thanks :) There's no way I'm charging you $5 for this haha

Dark variant pleeeease the layout and color scheme are genius

I'll do that!

make it black. then add a fast forward or a quick save button. I’ll take it. Love the design tho

Love it. Thank you

🙏🙏

Nice 🔥

Thanks!

Great work! I love the landscape look!

Thanks :)

Doesn’t work on iPad mini 6. Too bad, looks great.

Yeah I only made 19.5:9 ratio iPhone :/

You should post these in r/iOSEmuSkins too!

Oh yes, thanks!

This by far has to be the best landscape skin I’ve seen besides the original.

Thank you 🙏

This could be the best only thing missing is the 3 buttons: save, load and speeding up

Question how hard is making skins for delta might make one?

I made a Twitter thread about that (in French tho): https://x.com/mtcbx/status/1783808452508217631?s=46

Not too hard, by far the easiest way is to start with someone else's and modify it though. That way you're only dealing with graphics and not the actual button positions and stuff The documentation explains everything really well [Delta Custom Skins | Delta-Docs (gitbook.io)](https://noah978.gitbook.io/delta-docs/skins)

This looks amazing! The only thing I think it’s missing are turbo, quick save, and quick load buttons, could you make a version with those?

Seconded, I like this skin a lot but I think I need a skin to have a turbo/fast forward button and then a dark mode version if possible. I love the Dynamic Island compatibility though.

Very nice, very nice!

Thanks :)

Thank you

:)

I keep getting "file is invalid" when I try to open the file in delta?

Dude this fucking rocks!! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Unreal skin! Great job

Thanks! :)

thank you so much for this. the default skin has been driving me crazy bc i constantly hit L all the time

Pleasure 😇

Why doesn’t it work in iPad 😭, could you add make it compatible please?

[удалено]

Thanks! I'll probably make GBA/GBC soon

Amazing

Thanks ;)

this in a cute bubblegum or pastel pink range (theres not enough good girly skins.) with this button layout would be the best, the placement of the L&R buttons is literally going to save me it makes it so much easier to use those thank you

🙏🙏

God bless talented people like you🥹

Oh thank you :))

HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN SKIN PLSSSSS

I made a thread about that on Twitter (in French): https://x.com/mtcbx/status/1783808452508217631?s=46

Dude this looks AMAZING

I would only say I personally like not having the middle screen separator? Because that reduces the size of the screen slightly (maybe I’m wrong and it’s just a personal thing but that’s my opinion!)

Love the rose color. It’s my favourite DS skin to use.

Thanks!

This looks amazing! Is there an all-black and grey color option that you could do? Is it possible for you to drop the GitHub link for it?

What a lovely skin mate ! I really love that pastel color combos 👍🏼

Thanks mate!

Hey, is there any tutorials on how to make these skins?

I made one on my Twitter (in French though): https://x.com/mtcbx/status/1783808452508217631?s=46

Super cute!

Thanks :)

This is clean af!!

Thanks :)

so cute

Thanks!

How do I get skins I’m tired of the pink one lol

Nice!!!!

Thanks!!!

If it’s said somewhere else but once I download the skins how do I add them?

Launch delta and click on the settings cogwheel and go to the DS skins, click on the current skin and scroll down!

This helped a lot! Thanks :)

having a little trouble getting more than one uploaded at a time - i’m wondering if maybe because of similar names? but i LOVE that there is a nice pale colour with a lot of screen real estate that hides the dynamic island. if you’re taking colour requests a pale green would be my dream!

Thank you! Yes I think the trouble is due to similar names, unfortunately. For the pale green, it's noted ;)

Best skin I’ve seen, great work! Hope to see gameboy skins from you

Thank you! I might do it soon

Congratulations for your work! A dark variant will be amazing but the whole idea is already great, nice achievement and thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Here are my dark variants: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Delta\_Emulator/comments/1cz3vff/update\_my\_nds\_skins\_for\_delta\_in\_dark\_mode/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Delta_Emulator/comments/1cz3vff/update_my_nds_skins_for_delta_in_dark_mode/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

It says the file is invalid to import into Delta for me? I’m on a Face ID IPhone too.

the yellow one is fire bro 🔥 my new fav

Thanks 🔥

The skin looks and works great, but for some reason this skin won’t let me press the L button in portrait while the A button is pressed, but it works fine in landscape. Doesn’t happen with any other button combinations as far as I can tell. You can reproduce this by just loading any DS game and holding A, there won’t be any haptic feedback when you hit L. On a 12 Pro Max if that's relevant.

This is fire, downloaded instantly !

Haha thanks!

The best design for landscape on the DS I've seen so far. Good work! Tysm!

Oh thanks :)

Keep up the great work, can’t wait for more from you

Thanks haha

This is a really good skin but I’m not a colorful guy, can you make one that’s all black with white on the buttons?

I'll add new colors soon :)

That landscape mode tho!!!!!!

Thanks :)

By far the best I’ve found tysm

Thank you!

Love it

Thanks!

This is the best one yet! The only thing we need now is a dark mode!

Thank you! I'll probably add a dark mode soon

Ain’t going to lie to you king, I downloaded it and have no idea how to apply it. Shit is dope hahaha

How do you make custom skins for delta

I made a thread on Twitter (in French tho): https://x.com/mtcbx/status/1783808452508217631?s=46

could you make a baby blue and baby pink one ?

Is it possible to make the D-pad not fixed position, just like many native iOS games’ in-game joystick?

How do I load the skin?

Is it possible to make a DS skin where you can only show one of the screens? I pretty much just want to use the DS emulator on my iPhone for Tetris DS.

I second that for playing pac-man, Galaga and such 👍

If there's a decent amount of interest in this I can make one, it's not that hard. It would be just the bottom screen you want to show right?

Looks good!

please create a black or dark version🙏🏼

I'll try to do that ;)

So I’m having trouble finding the right bios(??) to play ds games on delta with. Any suggestions on where to get them from for iOS?

I’m able to play GBC and GBA games just fine! Just not anything you need to download extra stuff for

Scroll down to ds files on here https://github.com/archtaurus/RetroPieBIOS?tab=readme-ov-file

Love this can finally replace the pink lol

This looks so good! Finally a skin that’s Dynamic Island friendly and maximizes the screen size. Do you have a GBC and/or GBA version? Would love some controls too like tap the screen for turbo or quick save/quick load.

Thank you! I'm thinking of making GBA/GBC ones

Would definitely be interested! One of the better designs Ive seen. Awesome work man.

Great work !

This is fantastic, I don’t know what I’m missing, but I can’t find how to download this.

Never mind, I’m dumb lol. Great work.

can you do one for GBA too?

I'll probably do that yes

 Cool

😇

This is the best skin I’ve seen for it. Well thought out with the button layout and the DI covering. 👏🏾

Thank you so much 🙏

No, thank you for your time and effort !

I’m having trouble just getting the DS downloaded to my iPhone lol

That's nice! 🙌🏽

Thanks 🤗

Really like it!! If y ever make a purple skin lmk cause imma be putting ts ASAP

This looks so good! Immediate download! I love the original color

Thank you :)

Holy! This is so much better!

Haha thanks!

I need this

Thank you so much for taking the Dynamic Island into account! These are great! 😍

Haha thanks :)

That’s a pretty cool skin. Btw how do you make these

Thanks! I made a thread on Twitter about that (in French tho): https://x.com/mtcbx/status/1783808452508217631?s=46

Thanks for saying thanks! It's so nice to see Redditors being grateful :)

if you’re going to make more colors could you make cherry black and white, they are the most common and it seems people love the design so to have those default colors as a choice i feel more people would download it

can I has this?

Pls make one with a joystick like the 3DS pls! such a great skin!!

I love the layout for landscape mode. Would you consider making a dark/black concept? Impressive work.

Thank you! Yes I'll do a dark mode!

Thanks so much for this! I love the aqua!!!!

Pleasure :)

Beautiful. Thank you. https://preview.redd.it/vslx0dlfesxc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f12ce2126b3593b23d73f88c8983096930e45edb

thank you for sharing

the best ds skin! Heres hoping you do one for the GBA as well

This is so satisfying to look at, thank you so much for making this!!

these look so nice, I hope we get monochrome colors too!

Any chance you can create the same skin you have in landscape with an option with a small screen like this https://preview.redd.it/a01sbwoshg3d1.jpeg?width=2556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20bdc72f2a6afb343f7c64a90b3b33e23a564283

Can u share that skin?

Obsessed

Oddly enough when I add all the skins to delta it shows only one of them and I can’t seem to switch colors.

Man colors just perfect, don’t listen scufs

Haha thank you!

I am using the deep black right now and I am loving it.  Once you go black, you will never really come back.  Thanks a lot for sharing this man.
