So if you buy it and save the ipa, even in the future if you restore or change phones you can still install it? Does it get verified by apple and approved?
 
That seems to be a pain.
I bought the app but now I have to go chase roms and upload them to dropbox and hope they will work on my iphone.



You think you can hook a brotha up with some roms or let us know where to get some decent ones?:)
Another question. Does it play only Super Nintendo roms or also regural NES roms?

Well the method I described is the only legal way I believe. And it only plays SNES ROMs, an update could add support for NES, but with some reviews of the app blatantly saying its an emulator, it won't last long enough.
 
IT'S GONE!!

I downloaded it at work. I tried getting it in my iPad just now and.. Boom! Gone.

Wow, and I just got it on my iPhone like an hour ago. :)

You can copy it over from your iphone to your iTunes library and then sync it to all your devices.
Wow, I downloaded tons of roms.
Its just not easy to play many of them on the touch screen. Wish I had a controller:D

You can use an iCade controller with this emulator :)

There are 3 that I know of. The 8-bitty, iCade mobile, and Gametel. I'd personally recommend the Gametel as the 8-bitty doesn't hold your phone so portability is lacking, and the iCade mobile is a bit bulky for me. The Gametel is both compact and can clip your iPhone in place to take it on the go like a real game console instead I having to place your phone on the table.

Just know that on any iCade controller you use the button layout is kind of wonky. By this I mean that the d-pad works fine, but on LoZ: ALTTP the attack button is the upper left shoulder button and the button to pick things up is the start button. Can be awkward at first but you get used to it :p

Thank you :)
 
Kind of meh, cool for about 5 minutes in a nostalgic sense but then you realize most 99 cent games in the app store are better these days. Touch controls are actually not half bad, but not half good either. Some games don't seem to work, so far Doom and Tekken don't work.

Oh, anyone get the sound to work?

Sound works fine with all .smc files I downloaded.
Maybe a prob with that particular SNES ROM.

Is your phone on silent? I don't get sound while silent is switched on.
