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!
 
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

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

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

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

any idea?
 
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!
 
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.
 
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?
