Recently I reset my iPhone before backup data on Delta with the Delta backup feature. But when I tried to restore it, it did not work and I lost hours of gaming time with that. What do I need to do next? Need an answer from Delta emulator FAQ

I think you might get the backup path in the wrong way. Delta does not have its own backup systems as you need to connect the Delta emulator to an external cloud drive such as Google Drive or Dropbox. If you did not connect the Delta app to an external drive, you won’t be able to restore your game data.
