[TUT] Installing NES emulator on the iPhone (Mac OS X)

Here's a little tutorial that lets you play NES games on your iPhone.

First, you must first have installed the package and install Community Sources under Sources present in the Installer application.

1) Install NES:

NES is the NES game emulator for your iPhone. Install by simply clicking on the NES present in the Games section of Installer.

2) Installation of games:

This is actually the most complicated step but do not worry, everything will be fine :-).

We will connect to the iPhone via Fugu as we have already done to unlock the iPhone.
For ease of manipulation, I suggest you temporarily disable the hibernation of the iPhone. For this, direction Settings (Set) / General / Auto Lock / Never (Never).

We will now search the IP address of the iPhone. Set direction WLAN and click the small triangle next to your network and note your IP address (192.168.1.4 here).

Now run Fugu. Enter the following fields (do not forget to enable SSH if you had to disable using the Settings application, for example):

Connect to the IP address previously identified (192.168.1.4)
Name: root
Port: 22
Directory: / do not forget the slash



Then, go to var then root then media. Once the Media folder, head in ROM if it exists, otherwise create it (beware uppercase).
Once in the folder ROMs, ditto, go into the NES folder if it exists, otherwise create it as well.

In the end, so you stand in the NES folder. This is where we put the games that should normally finish by the extension. Ties
Drag and Drop your games so that directory in the window of Fugu.

To play your games, you simply launch the application on the NES this SummerBoard (which may have a different icon on the picture)



then select the game you want to play.

ENJOY
