You’ll be seeing updates from me most days and I’m happy to be a writer here. If you guys have anything you want covered post some comments here and I’ll get some research done and write some good articles.
Hey, while searching cydia yesterday I found a new app called Mover Open on the BigBoss repo. Anyway its a pretty cool app in which one can put photos or contacts on a “virtual” table and with the flick of a finger, the item is sent to another device with the app on the same wifi or on BLUETOOTH (key point). Kinda what we’ve seen in the app store already, but its a nice alternative.
Download it here, if you dont have cydia use the itunes link: http://infinite-labs.net/mover/download
Well Guys, looks like the application Sn0wBreeze will be a fine alternative to jailbreaking the 3.1.2 firmware besides Blackra1n. If you hadn’t already heard the ih8sn0w dev team has been hard at work creating an alternative program for Windows. Basically the new program is a port of the Mac Jailbreaking application Pwnage Tool. The interface is basically the same, and does quite the same thing: creates custom firmware.
Here’s a look at a preview released to Dinozambas from the ih8s0w team:
well be waiting on this, hope it will be just as good, post what you think of it. (base of data from http://www.tysiphonehelp.com/forum/)
So most of you know that today zodttd released his N64iPhone, With that said I got a chance to test run it and here is what I have to say about it Just to give some peeps a heads up, Now first thing Lets remember this application is Very new and very Buggy so expect updates in the future. well I played a couple of games and here is what I got from the one’s that I played, D-pad hardly works,sound does not work,Rom’s play pretty good but can be very laggy with lots of stuff running in the background (so shut some stuff down) Now Finding Rom’s that actually work can be a chore also. But with all that said I think with future updates this can be a very good emulator Just like the Nes or SNES, I would also like to see them working on a version for iPhone 3G and iPod 2G’s But with Memory and speed issues I don’t think we will see that.
seems are buddy zodttd has been working on the N64 for the iPhone and iPod and if you know any of his work you should know this is gonna be another great gaming emulator for us to use. Read what he said about it below and check out the video.
Today I bring to you a work in progress video of my latest emulator port I titled n64iphone. n64iphone is a Nintendo 64 emulator currently designed for the iPhone 3gs and iPod Touch 3rd Gen. It is a port of mupen64plus along with Ari64′s ARM Dynarec, and Adventus / Orkin’s OpenGLES GPU. Since the graphics processing unit (GPU) code is written with the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification, it limits the devices able to be used to the iPhone 3gs and iPod Touch 3rd Gen as of the current Apple lineup.
As said this is a complete work in progress video. I will continue to show development as the port progresses. At the time of writing this I still need to implement:
- Controller plugin (WiiMote / hardware support will come first oddly enough)
- Sound plugin (Can affect performance once enabled)
- Screen scaling & rotation
- ROM selection screen & my usual emulator’s layout
- Improve compatibility a bit as I most likely made a bug or two in the dynarec port
Note that performance can be improved from what is currently shown here. I am using NO frameskip. I also am not using all the assembly for vector math within the GPU currently. Sound and controlling the emulator aren’t within this video as I still need to implement sound & controller plugins.
Current testings as far as I can tell show:
Mario Kart 64 runs real well.
Mario 64 runs real well.
Smash Bros has a graphical glitch where eyes are missing on characters. Perhaps this is due to a bug made in the dynarec porting I did.
Legend Of Zelda – Ocarina Of Time runs a bit too slowly but turning on frameskip should help fix that.
