Delta Emulator Developer Recreates Retro Game Boy Camera Experience on iPhone

Riley Testut, known for the Delta Game Emulator and AltStore, today announced the upcoming launch of a new app called Delta Camera. Delta Camera is a standalone app that is meant to mimic the style of the Game Boy Camera.

The interface mirrors the Game Boy Camera, as do the photos that it captures. Though the images have a retro vibe, the app includes modern features like Camera Control support, front and rear camera integration, manual exposure, and zoom options.

The Game Boy Camera is a Game Boy add-on that first came out in 1998. It takes grayscale images and supports editing and drawing features.

Testut plans to launch the app later this year, but it is available now for those who subscribe to the AltStore Patreon.

For a moment there I was wondering what the hell a “boy camera experience” is in retro games.

Luckily for him Nintendo are well known for respecting fair use and never use their legal teams to harass and strong arm small developers or artists. /s

Interesting concept but I'm not sure who would want it.

Oh so that IS the vibe he was going for! I knew it looked familiar

I still have my old Game Boy Pocket and Game Bot Camera with me and while it unfortunately looks like I wiped the GBC at some point (it only has one photo saved) the battery is still holding up after 20+ years

I’m really happy to see he’s also replicating the style of the UI - if you’ve ever used (played?) the Game Boy Camera you know why
Hopefully he remembered to implement some unsettlingly edited photos for the error messages as well

In the meantime, check out BitCam ('https://iconfactory.com/bc.html') right now for that classic Macintosh vibe!
