iPhone NES: Fast, usable, totally rewritten
Thanks to Bricolage and NerveGas
Update: The NES App has been getting updates all day. To keep on top of the updates, check out Nate True's iPhone archive, which is where new updates will appear.
Tip of the Day
Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

I tried it. It is much better than before. The controls don't seem to stick, but I don't see multi touch support. I can only press one button at a time (makes mario rather hard).

How do you install it?
Reply
Erica Sadun said 12:01PM on 8-07-2007
ROMs go into /var/root/Media/ROMs/NES. The application goes into /Applications.

The multitouch support is still a bit sluggish, but as an acquaintance says; it's "almost playable"

Now all it needs is a landscape mode with the buttons either side of the screen, a la DS!!!

Is there a youtube (or other) video of the new version available?

Is it just me or does the TAR fail to decompress on the Mac?

Oh man... something else to run down the battery on this lil' device with...
Oh well, I can always replace it for $20 thanks to Brando!!!! /sarcasm
Now on to what we all want: SNES!!!

Way I see it, if we have near perfect/perfect NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, PSOne, and soon N64 emulation on the PSP platform, the iPhone, running a desktop class OS should handle it easily. Go homebrew!

can't two of the finest hackers just keep on working on the unlock? games are nice and all, but let's wait till the damn phone is available to everybody.

I placed the app in the /Applications folder and I placed the ROMs in the /var/root/Media/ROMs/NES folder and nothing happens.
Should I have an icon on the main screen?

how do i get the nes on the iphone, I am not to savy. Can you explain from when I download the nes 0.08 on my desktop

Asking people working on their own time to do exactly what you want is pretty lame. There may be people who don't want to dance with Apple Legal and won't work on an unlocker. If you want an unlocker so bad, work on it yourself. Don't try and order people around when they're doing good for others for no pay.

Most iPhone owners couldn't care less about an unlocked phone. NES emulation is of course, quite sweet. Contra baby!

I already have a phone so I couldn't care less about unlocking. Bring on the software.
