ZodTTD: “I’m on a boat!”
Hi everyone! Just a quick note that I’m currently taking a much needed vacation and will be back into the full swing of things by December 7th. I have limited internet connectivity, but feel free to use the contact page to reach me.
Thanks so much!
ZodTTD
nes4iphone is back with WiiMote support!
…no, wait, it's on RockApp and the WiiMote controls toggle doesn't do anything at all.
FUCK ROCKAPP.
also, WTF Zod? Why is it paid? So much for "gpSPhone is gona be the only paid emulator". You could at least host the trial versions freely on cydia so we can get past that stupid RockApp
Agree 100% its total BS.
The sound is horrible on nes4iphone, it makes my speakers and headphones pop pop pop! Any fix in the pipes?
Enjoy your vacation, but seriously dude, rockapp? :
Is There Anyway I Can Get Snes4iphone For Free?
My nes4iphone recommendations and bugs/stuff to fix:
-Paid? And 4,99$? can it be 1,49$?
-Sound clipping (like genesis4iphone)
-Speed to be improved
-No touchscreen as ZapGun (or whatever) feature
I agree with TehMillhouse: It's much for a "gpSPhone being the only paid" :/.
That's too much work for him :/
/sarcasm -.-'
Seriously… why do you always go back on what you promise us?
I am glad though. Nes4iphone is here. So maybe it will be worked on and greatly improved. Hopefully, the wiimote feature will work better too. That would be cool!
It seems to run no better than that other one that was here first.
Read what I wrote. I said at the moment I had no plans to charge for my any other app. I also stated I will continue to release paid applications, but I didn't have any planned *at the moment*.
Yes it is paid. And $1.50 doesn't allow for enough for Cydia Store / RockApp type merchant accounts cut to be taken out, plus the amount they take from each app.
For the record, RockApp is giving me a better deal currently for these apps than Cydia Store is for gpSPhone. I will work something out with saurik on that end of things, as well as learn to implement DRM in Cydia Store apps (RockApp includes DRM/trial support).
Sound clipping? Are you on a first gen iPod or iPhone by any chance? It could be a performance issue but none of the ROMs I tested on the iPod Touch 2nd Gen I have had any sound or performance issues.
The ZapGun thing is a good idea. I will look into it. Though many ROMs have patches for dpad based input for things like Duck Hunt if that helps.
Yes seriously.
While I'm glad you're glad…How can WiiMote support be improved? It works fine here. Have you tried nes4iphone's WiiMote controls?
Also, RockApp supports trials and DRM out of box. That's the main reason I use it in addition to the better cut I get from sales over Cydia Store. Cydia Store can't implement a built-in DRM / trial system it seems, so I have to roll my own…which takes time.
Exactly you don't need to put up with this sort of shit, I wouldn't have even graced him with a response, have a great vacation Zod
Can you do some benchmarks? I have a framerate counter in my nes4iphone app. Did you purchase nes4iphone yet?
Please back that statement up as Im interested in this.
Appreciate the support. Thanks, I'll try.
I didn't pay it (yet), still on the trial (everything experiencing on an iPhone 3G):
-I forgot to mention another bug: Super Mario Bros. starts out in world 0-1 (WTF??) which is a mixture of water level and Bowser's Castle. Since the flamethrowers don't move, we can't actually continue on without dying
-GAMEPLAY
-Sound is as bad as genesis4iphone (note again that I'm on iPhone 3G)
-Sound doesn't work in all Super Mario Bros versions (intros and menu only)
-Speed dunno why got better :/. Now the only issue is frameskip (I have most of the time 28 to 32 fps)
I think that's all… If anything else, I'll wait for a nes4iphone thread. Thanks for being Online Zod
I officially withdraw my comment that the wiimote controls don't work. Apparently had a bad install (probably wrong permissions), as my settings didn't save, so that restarting the app wouldn't bring up the WiiMote configuration dialog. Sorry about that, zod. I still hate Rock, and don't understand why you put it on Rock, but anyways…
Sh*t, I didn't think this was gonna turn into a flamewar against god and the world. In fact, one single curse doesn't quite catch what I thought when I saw this. And I started it. Sh*t, sorry, sorry sorry. Enjoy your vacation never the less…
(and you probably won't even believe me, but I didn't know RockApp gives you a better share than Cydia Store… I hope your arrangement with Saurik works out…)
Maybe try a different rom if your starting out in world 0-1… I don't think Zodttd's NES would be doing that.
Tested it also on mine and everything works 100%
Hey zodttd,
Since this has turned into a nes4iphone post, just wanted to pop in and say nice job. It runs much better then the other nes emulator (which I unforunately paid for as well). i have the wiimote up and running, and it's awesome
only suggestion i have:
throw wiimote support into the trial as well. it's limited to 2 mins anyways, but i think it would convince a lot more people to buy. i uninstalled/reinstalled about 5 times, changed permissions on the dir, etc trying to figure out why the hell it wasn't saving my settings in nes4iphone when i closed the app before i realized you had to buy it first. throwing this support in the trial as well would stop issues like this from happening IMO.
since buying it, i can confirm that everything is working great on my end
Have a great vacation!
-Matt
Love nes4iphone and all of your Other apps, I am sick of all of the paid apps and rock app comments, rock app is great, shut up. I hope you implement wiimote use in all of your other emus, espesially temper4iphone (it seems like you kinda forgot about this) it would also be great in gpsPhone.
First of all, THANK YOU, zodttd for making this emulator. I used to use NES 3 and good god the sound is nightmarish in that app! The sound in nes4iphone does indeed suffer from some moderate crackling, but at least it remains synchronized with the game without frameskips every 1 second (which is more than I can say for NES 3).
Now to the real reason for the post…I have another bug to report. The d-pad frequently releases a held button for about 1 second when combined with a or b presses. IE, I was playing Shatterhand which requires you to frequently punch while crouching (holding down on d-pad while rapidly tapping B). Despite holding down on the d-pad, my character would stand up every 3rd punch or so, throw a punch while standing, then return to crouch. The same behavior is present in Batman. Not sure if this is a limitation of the ipod itself or not, but it makes it very difficult to stay alive in certain games.
ps. currently using 64GB ipod touch w/ 3.1.2
pps. Just curious, what exactly is wrong with Rock? It seems to me that it runs faster than Cydia…I guess I just don't understand what all the complaints are in reference to.
No, you can't
Zod, I currently have the trial version on my iPod touch 2G. Can't enjoy it forever. Heh…
It works quite good on it. I haven't tried out the WiiMote Controls yet, but I'm working on it. Currently no. bugs and crashes for me. I see that sound is a bit glitchy in some games but still great. It's running good speed now. This is better than NES3. Nice Job Zod.
Now while I may not be into NES, I'll be sure to buy snes4iPhone and gpsPhone when Bluetooth is integrated ;D
And I don't see anything wrong with Rockapp. They've made a good system so goobers can't just download it for free elsewhere. And this way, zod actually gets a higher pay! (which he 100%) deserves
Hi Zod,
Hope you enjoy your vacation! Maybe it's better to enjoy a non-internet vacation, sometimes there is too much stress. Thanks for NES4iphne! I prefer Cydia as well, but people really, is it that big of a deal just to use ROCK here and there to get a select app you want?
I can't wait to try out the Wiimote support when I get home. This is too cool! My gf won't believe I'm playing my iPhone with a Wiimote
What a fuckinh cheapskate you are… Snes4iphone costs what
himself. lol
maybe bc you are charging money for your stuff
1. I really like RockApp and I'm glad you put it on there. They are doing some good stuff and its nice to see you're part of it.
2. I've had success with download folders with other emulators but I can't figure out how the in-app downloading works with NES4Iphone. Any pointers? A tutorial or help section would be great.
NVM, figured it out. The downloading is just finicky.
Perhaps it wasn't obvious but I was saying that above to "@TehMillhouse" .
Which by all means he should be able to do
Hey Zod, thanks again. How's N64iphone progressing? Think it could be a Holiday present for all of us? I'm really looking forward to it!
Hey zod,
Are you going to consider bringing gpsPhone to the rock store? It would bring down the piracy rate, make more money and you could add wiimote support
everyone should stop bitchin about rock app, it's better than cydia!
Well, he could add Wiimote support either way, I believe. It's just a matter that this week, I realized Rock is better in every way, and now APT support! I like the trial thing.
Hey zod, your nes4iphone stopped my ipod touch from booting up. Good job.
Seriously, can you stop packaging rockapp with all your emulators? It's really annoying.
ReGeXMfn: Seriously?! If you don't realize how much work and effort is put into this sort, you're on the wrong site.
What did I promise?! I promised you nothing.
I'm on vacation and I'm spending my time here defending myself on my own site for a product you can already get on Cydia Store! If you want NES and want to purchase it through Cydia, simply get NES3 from NerveGas.
BUT I REPEAT. I'M ON VACATION. THIS IS A POST ABOUT ME BEING ON VACATION. NOWHERE DO I SPEAK ABOUT NES4IPHONE.
You're truly pissing me off with this RockApp hate and people acting like I owe them things isn't helping.
If you need nes4iphone support, simply email me or at least wait until I post about it. I reply to as many emails as I possibly can each day.
For the record, WiiMote support works fine. Once you toggle on WiiMote controls, simply restart the app. Assuming you paid for and installed it via RockApp as intended, you will have BTstack running. It will prompt you to sync your WiiMote on start of the app. Press 1+2 on the WiiMote and it will work fine from there.
As for sound issues, please let me know which ROM is giving sound issues. I have tested nes4iphone on my iPodTouch 2nd Gen and iPhone 3gs, and both had sound work fine for all ROMs I tested, which was too many to list here.
But really people, if you don't like RockApp, don't take it out on me. Keep the hatred off my site.
What is BS?
Please let me know which ROM is giving sound issues. I have tested nes4iphone on my iPodTouch 2nd Gen and iPhone 3gs, and both had sound work fine for all ROMs I tested, which was too many to list here. I can handle support via the contact form in Contact Us as well.
Seems this thread got turned into a nes4iphone chat thanks to TehMillhouse.
Zodttd,
First off, I want to thank you for the hard work and great emulators. You've nearly destroyed my social life among other things, as I can't be torn away from Final Fantasy III on snes4iPhone. I could only be happier with an iControlPad or Wii Remote controls. Thanks!
Pay no attention to trolls. Anonymity is a bitch. I have absolutely no problem with RockYourPhone. I think their implementation of an AppStore alternative is a lot more slick than Cydia, and if possible I always stick with the Rock Store. So you have my support.
Keep up the great work. Have a great vacation!
-Kyle
Install rock app from cydia then install it from rock, rock is faster and better than cydia.
I don't get why everyone hates paid emus zod works hard on these
It works great for me! I love the complaint that people don't want to spend 5 bucks on am emulator to play hundreds of games free. Also u do realize that u have to pay for all emulators now with the andriod os? I understand the argument that it's just a port, but in answer to that is that he does alot more than hit copy paste guys. I know I wouldn't do this for free. One last thing zodttd said he would have ps3 controller support in a week or so and that's all his doing. He doesnt have to add things like that.
All my roms r doin it, I think the sample rate is too low. Snes is great, and nervegass nes3 is good. I'll try to do a YouTube video. It's the Only thing that's stopped me from buyin it.
Who would rather have nes4iphone over nes3? I know I would! How did zod come out with this emu so fast, just a couple days ago he was still with mame4iphone
Mr. MillHouse wants it cracked, told by xsellize.
Rockapp is good now. It sucked before but I like it.
Go steal one of your parents creditcard. That way it won't cost you a dime
Ya it's wrong, but you don't need do be a rat bi*** about it. Sorry for the languge, but come on are you 8?
I in no way support the cracking of software or pricay
Unfortunately, Rock is highly unstable compared to Cydia. Already caused five system failures for me, maybe you want to say something about that?
Hope you'll update gameboy4iphone, it sounds awful…
Are you planning on charging for all decent running emulators?
Read it again. I said RockApp (actually Rock extensions, I give you that) caused my iPhone to get kicked into a reboot loop, which is exactly what happened when I wanted to try out MyWi.
If making a post there means wanting it cracked, that just means you're no better. You like RockApp? Then why distribute .debs that get along without it? I'll just say nothing more, this is getting ridiculous.
I like Rock app and I will be purchasing snes and nes 4iphone. But it is rather annoying it only works on 1 device!
I have 2 devices and my sister has an iphone as well so that means only my iphone gets it
Hope there is some way you can add DRM to cydia so I can put it on my other device and my sisters phone 
The sound is quite good.
It sounds way better than NES3
That isn't nice.
RockApp 2 works fine on my 2G touch.
You just have some bad luck with it
I don't want it cracked, I see MR. MillHouse all over cracking sites wanting to get this for free.
Yeha, unfortunately… but he said it wanted it for free, and taking the consequences for stealing a parents creditcard is much better than cracking Snes4iPhone, because stealing the creditcard WILL give him consequences, unlike cracking…
But it's hard to get away with it. I got caught once by my parents doing this.
Yeah, I just read the new nes4iphone thread there. It's funny to see all the flaming there.
My gpsphone still crashes….I run on 3.1.2 custom fw iPhone 3G……..any help anyone???
How old are you? Is this how you spend your free time?
It is a problem with a 3G if you use the dev teams PWN tool. If you have read some of Zod's previous posts he says you should just run blackra1n on your iPhone 3G and it wont effect anything except making gpsphone work
Why do you care?
Not much time. I'm usually on in the morning but gone later.
I repackaged the DEB to remove the RockApp and BTStack dependencies. Since it does not work in the trial version
Download here
http://csdev.2x.nu/forum/Thread-nes4iphone
Buy and Support ZodTTD
Loving it on here, Casey?
Yeah on the project site of ZodTTD you can get the source code, compile it yourself. then it's free!!
It wasn't really obvious…..Though you meant Zod
Thanks, Casey
Now I can try it out lol
sucks for the goody (Casey) but sorry zod its cracked
Then go use it if you want. You can’t get help here.
The only emulator with worse sound is genesis, I'm working on a side by side for YouTube. I'm no expert, but it sounds like the sample rate is set really low. Nes3 stutters but the sound is clear and free from static.
Wait a second, "all over cracking sites"? What the fuck? Who are you kidding, I've made one post, /only/ talking about my experiences with Rock, whereas you seem to be everywhere, posting happily and distributing .deb files. Now if I didn't know for sure you were kosher, I'd say you look shadier than me.
Wait, what's the exact username of the guy you see "all over cracking sites"? Mr.MillHouse? That's not me. My screen name on xsellize is simply Millhouse. A part of this /may/ be a misunderstanding. A part.
Help I ran blackra1n on my iPhone to try and fix my gpsphone but it still crashes…..is there anything else I can do?once again I run on iPhone 3G custom fw 3.1.2 and yes already tried running blackra1n
Yeah I do
great work on nes4iphone, i was surprised by the quick release. i will totally buy this as soon as the wiimote support gets refined. as of now it seems very inconsistent.
Wait wait what??? So you mean I could see exactly how an iPhone emulator is put together??
Zod is it fine if I do this? It's not like I'll leak a free version or anything but I wanted to start porting a few more emulators next to yours (gamegear, 32x, neo geo, ng pocket, etc.
I've worked with porting before but I'd like to know exactly how a god would create it:D
Uhu it's totally legal to use the source code, that's why it's called open source! Everyone can use it
A custom fw? Is it really a full blown custom fw that apple didn't release? Or did you just download a firmware to hactivate/jailbreak/unlock your phone? Because if it really is a custom firmware then that is the problem.
Where could I get a copy:0
And again I'm not realeasing a free version or whatever I just want to see how BTStack works in conjunction with the emulator(haven't gotten the hang of it yet)
Who knows.. I might release a gamegear emulator by next month;)
Are you even a great coder? Do you have a Mac to develop with? Only having it is useless.
Of course it's legal, it's open source (gpSPhone is a closed one). But if you build it and publish for the iPhone, I don't think that Zod would be happy.
All of his sources are at github.com/zodttd
Wow, posting here about pointing at someone stealing. You are a loser. Let him crack, it's his and Zod's problems, not yours.
Ah…whatever
Whoa! Didn't expect such an answer. You really are a nice guy
.
.
Well, er… Thanks for understanding though
HELP GPSPHONE ISNT WORKING IT JUST CRASHES I HAVE THE BIOS AND A GAME OR 2 AND STILL NOTHIN HELP EMAIL ME AT ookeeah@gmail.com if u can help
Well the "Mr" is just nothing.
I do post DEB files, but I don't crack anything. Just a easier way to distribute things.
Like I said I **WON'T** be publishing a free version of any of Zod's emualtors, only my own ports of emulators that have yet to hit the iPhone scene.
And yes I do have a Mac I use it as my own personal computer. I am a begginer on iPhone homebrew but have about a year of coding under my belt and want to give it a shot!!:)
Same here!
Alright for everyone that is complaining about things not working, first check to make sure the permissions are right (777). If that doesn't work do a restore to a clean firmware and re-jailbreak it. If you are hactivated this means restoring to 3.0 and doing an upgrade to 3.1.2 from a known good ipsw or you can make one yourself.
then you are a fool because snes4all is a port of snes9x (for those who don't understand, that means that 95% of the emulator have been coded by the snes9x team and the guy who coded PocketSNES, not Zodttd) whose license explicitely forbids commercial use, so spread the word so we can finally have a free snes emulator like on every other platform….
and Yes, someone just have to compile the source from here: http://github.com/zodttd/snes4iphone
this is perfectly LEGAL to release a free version from this source just as this is freakin' ILLEGAL to sell a snes9x port (but I guess nobody care paying 5$, just imagine how much this makes at the end whit a so popular console and how much this is worth when this is only 5% your work
)
He is not making the emulators, he is porting them. That means that most of the code to EMULATE the systems was already done by others (like other emulators ported on other platforms), "all" he has to do is to do the backport code to interface with the Iphone hardware… which is probably very similar for each emulator, hence the fast releases even if it still requires work & knowledge (which is why he is actually quite the only one doing it)
snes4iphone = Pocket SNES = snes9x
genesis4iphone = Picodrive from notaz
Mame4iphone = MAme4All = hum… MAME
nes4Iphone = probably PocketNES from loopy and flubba
gp4iphone = gpSP from exophase
psx4iphone = PSX4all = PCSX
n64iphone = Mupen64 ?
Again, those are opensource programs whose license encourage free distribution (and for some of hem prohibits commercial use): it's perefctcly LEGAL to distribute .deb files from compiled version !
nes4iPhone is GREAT!
And I went ahead and tried out the new wii controller feature.
It's also GREAT!!!, but I need to make a few suggestions:
Impliment multiple controller support (at least 2)
Reduce the LAG. This was a minor issue when playing Super Mario.
typing everything in CAPS isn't going to solve your problem
Ah another FakeyFakerson on teh website, how nice…
It's not ILLEGAL to ask money for it, since the source can still be downloaded from Github. The 5$ you pay is for the costs that Zod makes for using Rock etc.
I don't really care about someone downloading cracks unless someone is downloading a cracked/leaked copy my my stuff.
I do have a bunch of Beta Testers on XSellize that work for me.
HELP MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS BROKEN!!!!!1one
Wait… That's it! Man I think you're a genius!
Yeah, we should ask the author of BTstack if the iPhone can take multiplayer support. If it does he if he will work on it, man… I don't even know what I oughta do
Sorry but unless Zodtdd obtained special rights from the snes9x team, it is indeed illegal to ask money for any port of it, no matter if you still give access to the source or how much hosting costs (and I doubt it would be distributed on RockApp if it wasn't bringing him some susbstancial money, you are very naive if you think the price is only to cover its cost)
Read the license from snes9x, this is crystal clear : http://www.snes9x.com/journal.asp
http://github.com/zodttd/snes4iphone/blob/master/...
* Snes9x is freeware for PERSONAL USE only. Commercial users should
* seek permission of the copyright holders first. Commercial use includes
* charging money for Snes9x or software derived from Snes9x.
Again, I doubt anyone would care about that, this was just to make things clear.
Really?
I've bought nes4iphone already, but don't have a Wiimote, and I plan on buying one on ebay. When you say lag do you mean the wiimote controls don't respond right away?
Ever so slightly, yes. Which makes all the difference in quick paced games like super Mario.
I'd hold off on the Wii remote for now, until controller support is quickened, and it is available in other emulators.
Stop complaining guys Zod is the main reason I jailbreak my Ipod and he produces some awsome stuff which he works hours on. And also, I installed the Rock app and it is much faster and more attractive then Cydia. You guys only hate it because we've all grown comfortable with Cydia over the years. I wish you would stop complaining about everything and this post was just to inform us on his vacation. By the way for the person who said they will be buying Nes4iphone when it gets worked on, it doesn't need working on it's kick ass at it is and the gameplay is incredibly slick.
Thanks for everything zod your efforts are truly appreciated
Zod did you port this from FCEUx, because I can tell by the Loaded Saved State thing.
Do you have the BIOS? Is it good? Have you tested it with other emulators?
Awesome!
We just need to get rid of the lag in the wiimote
Need to touch up the sound
Then I'll pay! (Might pay anyways because NES3 is junk)
And also… Rock Your Phone ROCKS!
Have a nice rest Zod,
I think psx4iphone 1.10 is a good preset for this christmans.
Thank you!
blackra1n without the custom firmware
Very well said, I agree completely
I *think* most people's problem with Rock is the fact that its extensions can commonly cause your device to crash… at least that is my problem with it. It has nothing to do with nostalgia for Cydia or anything like that- I think most of us don't really care what it is as long as it works. I have no allegiance to Cydia other than the fact it doesn't crash my device and I like seeing the message that my SHSH is on file (don't know if Rock has an equivalent function for this or not). If Rock extensions didn't crash my damn phone almost every time I use Kirikae or SpotBright, I'd have no problem with it.
I just bought an iphone thats stuck in recovery mode. It shows the itunes icon and the wire. When I connect the iphone into my computer (windows xp), itunes does not detect it. No programs detect that it is connected. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

fuck you zodttd. You are an asshole
hi, i'm in need of attention, too.
DUDE… seriously… version 6.whatever and you STILL haven’t fixed the rendering issue? Any game that uses “layers” such as clouds, or mist, or shadows is COMPLETELY unplayable! Cmon Zod.. you expect us to pay for this garbage?
fuck all you rockapp fan boys, people didn't jailbreak their ipods/iphones to pay for shitty 3rd party apps… (charging money for an emulator is stupid anyway since you don't own the rights to any of the games – you FAIL whoever is charging for this unfinished piece of shit, I hope you get a cease and desist fucking bottom-feeders)
purchase away, become another stupid victim to this queers software writing, the purpose of jail breaking the iphone was to run *free* software not pay some ass money for software, I remove the repo's from my and my clients iphones and recomend them never to install rock app, or ZodTTD software because it's like supporting something that is supposed to be free in the first place, You jailbreak the iphone for free software that isn't free, then why even jailbreak? because you as a person is stupid, and ZodTTD is exploiting people to get rich, I bet his incoming tripled since he made this a paid app, and what is doing? on a gay boat trip planing his next app to rip and sell? let alone, selling apps like this will not only promote piracy, but will also result in a law suite from various companies like Sony, Nintendo, etc… So ZodTTD will end up loosing this in the long run and loosing all the money he is making now exploiting people.
ove nes4iphone and all of your Other apps, I am sick of all of the paid apps and rock app comments, rock app is great, shut up. I hope you implement wiimote use in all of your other emus, espesially temper4iphone (it seems like you kinda forgot about this) it would also be great in gpsPhone.
Latest Mobile Phone
i seriously need help from anyone. nes4iphone sounds great, but one problem. at first a downloaded the trial version off of cydia. i tried to open it and then it crashed right away. i then downloaded a cracked version (sorry Zottd) and the same thing happended! do i need to change permissions or anything, cause i know this was the case with saving on snes4iphone. please help, cause right now i am stuck with the sort of cruddy NES emulator, which at the moment, obviously works much better than nes4iphone. but i want to play with the wiimote and also want better sound than NES. i have a 8gb ipod touch 3g (or i guess a 2g, same difference). HELP!!!!
Hey im confused i cant download the emulator, i have already jailed broken my iphone byt cydia doesnt seem to work, and none of the Zodtt softwares appearse on my searches, does anybody have any tips that might help?
