Change skins in the Delta emulator

Delta emulator supports several consoles, including NES, SNES, Game Boy Color, Game Advance, Nintendo DS, and more. You can change the default skin of any of these consoles. We will change the skin of Game Boy Advance for this guide, but the steps will be the same for any console emulation in the Delta app. 

1. Launch Safari on your iPhone and visit the Skins4Delta website. Scroll down and tap on the console name for which you want to download the skins.
