anyone put nes or genesis emulators on it? and if so how did you transfer roms?

 

wow didn't even know u could do that

 

I downloaded the NES emulator. You have to also download OpenSSH onto the phone and then an FTP program on your computer and transfer the ROMs to a certain folder

 

Thats been out for a minute but I've yet to try it. I have seen the "beta" firmware which is coming out soon (with the SDK) and its pretty fat. They have some nice games on there, though I think its more for teaching people how to code with the SDK. However, with that said I can see where games on the iPhone are going to be pretty sick.

As far as emulators are concerned, I heard the NES is hard to play since the controls are a bit tricky. They look cool though..

 

I don't like the controls.

I saw a thread on modmyifone months ago where a guy took apart an NES controller and was adapting it to work on the usb/dock connection. He had it working but never updated the thread.

maybe one day somebody will get the bluetooth Wii controller to work on the iphone, since it already works on PC

 

and here's the NES app http://www.zdziarski.com/projects/nesapp/

google "nes roms" to find sites like romnation

use winSCP to transfer them to your phone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbnId...d.php?t=119701

zomg I own the games, therefore it's legal to have a backup

 

There's 2 versions of the NES controls. Try the non-standard one. I like it better, but they both suck for any game that needs quick direction changes. The novelty wears off fast. It was good for long flights though.

 

which is the "non-standard" one? the widescreen way?

 

see i figured that as well which is why i never bothered putting it on my phone. it just seemed like I would break the phone in an old NES rage... LOL

 

for tetris and Mario it really isn't that bad, sometimes I dont realize I'm not hitting the wrong button until its too late, but oh well, more reason to keep playing it

 

youtube link is real helpful, i tried a different one, ended up messing up the firmware and flashed all these codes non-stop=( warranty=) good luck.

 

Genesis Pwns SNES
