I'm new to the world of "PWNAGE" and I have a few basic questions about how everything works. I'm gonna make it easy and list them by number. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! :D

1. If I want to get my iPhone back to it's original settings and wipe away all evidence of a jailbreak, all I have to do is a complete restore through iTunes, right? Are there any steps I need to do prior to this to ensure my phone won't get screwed up?

2. I noticed that "Cydia" and "Installer" are the main sources of downloadable apps for the jailbroke phone. I figured out how to work Cydia, but Installer is a bit less user friendly. How do you access Installer files and how does it differ from Cydia?

3. I downloaded the NES emulator and can't find the folder to put roms into. I got the Netalife program, but I see nowhere for roms. Also what's the best site to download games from?

4. Finally, will synching with iTunes affect my jailbroke phone? I'm afraid of my phone getting bricked, so what should I watch out for to prevent this?

Thanks for any help guys!

You will probably get more useful responses in the hack forum. Just trying to be helpful.
