ZodTTD: Home Of Homebrew

Update: I have released heavily updated versions of n64iphone. Current version 0.7.0 improves performance and sound quality. – ZodTTD

It is finally out as of 22nd of December. This is an early release version however so not everything is finished. Everything is included except save states and landscape screen modes. You can still save games via the memory card.

This emulator is currently only compatible on the iPhone 3gs and iPod Touch 3rd Gen. No first or second gen devices will run this emulator due to requiring a newer version of OpenGL ES.

Controls work either by onscreen display controls + accelerometer or by connecting via BlueTooth a Nintendo WiiMote controls and it’s own accelerometer, just like the nes4iphone release.

I am eagerly awaiting a fully assembled Pandora to continue my work with psx4pandora, the Sony Playstation 1 emulator for it. My Pandora MK2 (second generation test board) is somewhere around Michael Weston’s place. In the meantime I can just stare at this lovely picture:

And now I go back to work on the iPhone sort…whipcrack anyone?

P.S. Anyone else find MWeston’s name familiar? It could be due to watching the USA TV series show Burn Notice. So while some may think of MWeston as a hardware hacker, I think of him as a super spy. Perhaps the TV series’ writers are avid OpenPandora fans. If not, they should be.
