There’s a lot more we haven't mentioned, so we also wrote a blog post with everything you need to know: https://rileytestut.com/blog/2024/04/17/introducing-altstore-pal/ Thanks to everyone who’s supported us on this journey, y'all are the best 💚 Oh, and for our friends outside the EU, there’s one more thing... Delta — the app that started it all — is available NOW in the App Store! Yes, you read that right: our long-rejected game emulator has been approved by Apple themselves 🍎 If you live outside the EU, download now from the App Store — no DMA required https://apps.apple.com/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688  @jawshoeadan @altstore You have to buy & install AltStore PAL (alternate app store) to get Delta in the EU. @altstore This is amazing news! Is Delta going to be available on iPad as well, or only iPhone?  @ben_rearden @altstore The conundrum right now is that you can't get Delta for iPad even if you're willing to run in iPhone mode, because altstore is for iPhones.  @altstore How do I get my save data from the AltStore version onto the App Store version? @rileytestut @altstore Please make your app available in Apple's App Store, so we can use it on the iPad. And of course on the iPhone in the EU without an alternative store. Thanks. @MonkeybreadSoftware @altstore Hey! Nice to see you over here. I just posted exactly the same! I do all my gaming on the iPad and I don't mind the iPhone mode, but iPad in the EU can't get this in any way. @altstore @rileytestut Why not just simply offering it through the App Store worldwide? I will never install a third party marketplace. Now going to download this with an Apple-ID that is registered for the US store. @altstore@fosstodon.org @altstore Why can’t I download it *inside* the EU? My German App Store says it’s not available in my region … @altstore love it. No rush but I’m curious if there is chance of an iPad version releasing to take advantage of the full screen size? Love this app. So clean! @altstore can you make this available in the EU as well? Can’t play the AltStore version on iPad… @altstore So thanks to europe that forced apple to finally change the situation now everyone outside of europe have delta for free inside appstore while we must pay altstore to use it because of the technology fee? Sorry but this is a dick move. Luckily i am not totally dumb to forget i can simply abuse the US apple id account i created many years ago. @altstore why not offer the possibility to purchase Clip? Not sure how to pledge on Patreon… (I’m sure I can figure it out but I’m wondering why not just offer to purchase it outright in AltStore PAL) @altstore oh well looks like I can’t install it? Stripe, Link and my bank all agree on my card being successfully charged though. Edit: It seems like marketplace-kit:// uris are not resolving on iOS. Brave (iOS) shows the full uri but tapping in Safari or Brave both seem to do nothing. @altstore This is great news! I hope your expansion plans include a broader offering of payment options. Since this is (currently) for the EU, bank transfer might be worth integrating. Anyway, happy AltStore Launch Day! |

We’re launching with two of our own apps:
🎮 Delta, an all-in-one Nintendo emulator
📎 Clip, a clipboard manager that can actually run in the background
Delta will be free, and Clip will require a pledge of €1 or more. Support for third-party apps is coming soon — so stay tuned!
