I've been using iOS since my first generation iPod Touch and have jailbroken and customized just about everything since then. I made controller skins for the gpsPhone emulator long before the App Store existed, so when Delta finally became widely available in April 2024, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. Delta Pocket takes its inspiration from the Analogue Pocket: the control layout, the sleek and minimal aesthetic, and a color lineup that maps to the different hardware colors Game Boy came in over the years.
I built the whole thing in public, posting previews and running polls on Threads as I went. I iterated a lot on the design, materials, and layout based on user feedback before I was happy enough with it to call it version 2. It ended up being the foundation for everything else in my Delta collection.
