Can someone PLEASE explain...

Nes roms and emulators! I really don't understand it. I do however want to play GBA games on my touch! If this is illegal in the the forum then please let me know and I will remove it.

ROMs themselves are illegal, and we won't tell you where you can get them, but an emulator is something that allows hardware to pretend that it is different hardware.

Then, the game file (ROM) thinks that it is being run by the proper machine and actually runs (with errors, occasionally. Nothing is perfect. 😛).

Is there a way

To download ROM's straight onto the touch, without using a PC?

Thank you for your replys aswell.

Again, we cannot give you sites or links to places that host ROMs. You'll need to connect to your iPod touch using SSH (use this YouTube tutorial, watch in high quality), and you'll be good to go. From there you can copy whatever you like (ROMS, .theme files, etc...) from your Mac/PC to your iPod touch.

Just run a few google searches on roms. You'll find them.

Also, I suggest instead of SSH to download Netatalk from Cydia. After you install it, your iPod will show up on the Finder Network list. The Username and password are "alpine" and "mobile".

Actually, ROMs *are* legal. But only if you already own the game you're downloading/emulating. If you don't own it, you've got 24 hours to delete the files.
