Easiest way to add NES Roms

[LixLev]

Just found this easy way to add NES Roms without having to connect to your computer etc. It is similar to way that someone posted earlier about how to Add iPhone applications.

Simply add the NES Emulator and then go into your installer and add the source:
http://markmon.mine.nu:90/iphone/repo/repo.plist

When that has refreshed, go into the games folder of your installer, and install 'Bigboss' NES Roms Pack 1'.

Then exit the installer, slide to unlock, click on the NES emulator icon, and there you have it, loads of NES games.

I can confirm that I have done it and it works perfectly.

I got this from http://lonman06.com/2007/11/14/ipod-touch-adding-nes-roms-the-simplest-way-possible/

Enjoy!

pretty sweet, thanks

[bowlman23]

I just got my Ipod Touch today and I wanna load up these NES games. Can you tell me step by step how to do it? Sorry, I'm newer with this. I have no idea where to start. Thanks.

Have you jailbroken the touch? It may be best for you to start a new thread, or search the forum.

EDIT: BTW nice solution

[8gigaPodTouch]

nice! it works! tnx for the info.;)

[ks-man]

Thanks for that cwolves. I hope you were able to do a copy and paste. How much memory do the 50 roms take up?

[koolkeat]

Worked great thanks - haven't played Gauntlet since 1980-something!

[orrelse44]

Why can't someone do this for the GBA roms? ;)

[FatalShot]

Are the games responsive? How are the controls? If anyone can post a video of you playing a game (or few) and tell me how it is that would be appreciated big time!

[mingenyx]

nevermind sweet it works! i figureed out how to do it no worries ignore this post

[skir0987]

Thanks for that cwolves. I hope you were able to do a copy and paste. How much memory do the 50 roms take up?

I think it's about 5.5 megabytes... but all of the roms are in the Media partition so they don't take any space away from apps.

Shep

[pauliej]

getting an error when i try to install bigboss nes pack...any ideas?

[pauliej]

its cool worked it out!

[tennez]

This is sweet!
Now we need the same for GBA roms...
I cant access the ipod touch after jailbroken 1.1.2

any idea?

[dojopros]

thanks

[the game]

where do i go to add that source???

[urrl78]

I noticed it would not work for me because when it came to typing in the "nu:90" part of the link it automatically put in "by:90". I got past that by typing lightly and quickly. I'm downloading BigBoss now. Thanks so much!

[the game]

Help Where Do I Add The Source

[Vigilante]

Open up Installer and then click on the far right icon on the bottom, "sources." Click "edit" on the top, then "add." Type it in and hit done.

[the game]

ok it says i need a bsd subsystem first what is that and how do i get it?

[dragonmantek]

when i hit the install button it says it can't find/connect to the host.

i have full wireless bars...maybe the site is down? too many connections? bandwidth overload?

[bigeric828]

well i installed the nes emulator app and i typed in the souce, but when i go to games theirs no bigboss thing


**edit** i got it

[aaronw1986]

This may sound dumb...but getting my Touch tomorrow and just want to make sure. It's not necessary to be online to play these games? So many apps seem to need internet connectivity.

[Vigilante]

It is not necessary.

[alecmcmahon]

download keeps timing out, does anybody have a mirror host they know works?

[SimonP333]

One thing I would like to point out while typing in the new source.

When you get to the bit NU, for some reason you iPod/iPhone thinks you want to type by, it took me a few tries to realise this, and 'cancel' the 'by' suggestion, this lead to not finding the source, timing out etc.

Hope this helps.

[archangel847]

So im fairly new tot he whole jailbreak thing but im inda getting the hang of it. i downloaded the NES appliance but now i don;t understand what he means about go to sources and add the link that he provided. Can anyone help please?:confused:

You run Installer.app, which presumably you know how to use if you've downloaded the NES emulator itself. Along the bottom row of the screen, at the right hand corner, is a button called "Sources" -- this configures the websites that the Installer will check to get its list of downloadable items.

Click Sources, and you'll see a list (AppTapp Official, Apple's Repository, Community Sources, etc). Click "Edit" in the TOP right corner. Now they're editable. Now click "Add" in the top LEFT corner.

Now you can type in the source name.

Hope that helps!

Yeah I think for URL's it should stop trying to help out with typing; how many URL's are proper words ey :/

[toonz diggler]

THANK YOU !!!

Very easy to do after following your steps !!!!

Thank you so much!! Thats exactly what u needed sum1 2 tell me how to do!:D

[ganzd]

About how long should a download of the "Bigboss NES Roms Pack 1" take on an 8bg ipod touch with 2 bars of wifi?!! Thanks.

[jlyanks85]

I finally jailbroke my ipod for the first time tonight and did the nes emulator. It said to me when I finished d/ling that I have to delete games thta I don't already own since this illegal? Should I do this or don't worry about it? I don't want to get in trouble or anything

[Slip]

^ Hmm, I don't remember that when I did it but like anything on the dodgy side of the law, as long as you don't get caught you're cool. If it really worries you then you could hide the NES icon with Customize so no one would be any the wiser.

[OrangeCuse44]

Hmmm I added the source correctly (i re enetered it again to make sure) and in the games tab i dont see any games pack. WHats goin on? Also, the source is listed under "unstable sources" in the source list. That doesnt sound good.


Edit: Nevermind about the unstable sources, its actually in "uncategorized". still now showing any games tho.

[dalvin200]

i just added the source to my iphone and also couldn't find any bigboss nes roms pack games..

[Mhaddy]

Same problem as the above two posters - double and triple checked the spelling of my URL source, but the Big Boss pack is not showing in the Games category.

[pimmysays]

repo no longer exist, but the roms are still there http://markmon.mine.nu:90/iphone/repo/nesroms1.zip

[ethan101]

is it as easy as uninstalling the emulator to delete the games or is it more complicated then that?

Thanks
Ethan

[Slip]

I guess all you do is delete the ROM from the ROMs>NES folder via SFTP.

[jayhawkman34]

I jailbroke yesterday. i want the nes roms but i dont no what SFTP is. i believe it is some find of sile transfter program but i am not i could not get winSCP to connect with my ipod and i already have the .zip for the NES ROMS on the computer and the NES emulator on the ipod. some one please tell me how to transfer the NES ROMS!

Thanks

There are hundreds of threads and guides across the net concerning this, a google search or a search of this forum would probably be your best shot. Wiki is also handy for information on those trick acronyms ;)

[DFeld91]

:rolleyes:

[Darkjenso]

i'm having the same problems i cant get anything out of the source

[andybno1]

if you had taken the time to read you would see that repo is no longer active but the roms are still on the server in a zip file :rolleyes:

[anotherstation]

what exactly do i do with the .zip file? do i download it to my harddrive, or do i put the .zip address into safari on my touch?

this is the only part i don't understand.

Download it to your computer's hard drive. Unzip it there. Then use an SFTP program to send the files to your iPod touch, specifically, the /var/root/Media/ROMs/NES folder.

could you reccomend a SFTP program for mac and/or a guide that could assist in sending the roms to my touch? thanks.

Sure, Transmit. (http://www.panic.com/transmit/)

and/or a guide that could assist in sending the roms to my touch? thanks.

Sorry, no. Do a search.

[jimmer-uk]

try adding http://easyselltrade.com/nesgames.xml into sources on your installer, this download has a few decent NES games including mario and donkey kong.

Hope it's useful

[pbcrazyboy]

[MusLv4]

i am aware that no repo exists for Big Boss NES roms but the roms are still there. one thing though. i added the source (http://markmon.mine...) and many things showed up. why would a million things show up except for the one thing i'm looking for--->big boss nes roms. i am looking for a way to do this without the computer but if i need to go to the mac...i downloaded "transmit" already. what do i have to do now?

[golf pro]

that never worked for me the only source that worked for me was 123locker.com and under all apps there will be one called NES roms

edit** i have tried locker123 and it does work. thankyou

[deceptichop]

I have spent HOURS trying to get this to work but with no success.

I have a BOATLOAD of nes roms on my MacBookPro. Id like to install the games via hardwired, NOT wireless.

I have not found any 411 on how to do this. I have 3 different NES Emulators installed on my Iphone 4 now. And all the games in my Mac harddrive. All the wireless tutorials are NOT working.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be GREATLY appriciated. THank you very much in advance

[sorepheet]
