Installing NES Roms..

[heart attacked]

I'm a complete newb when it comes to using the terminal and what not.. I just saw the news page about the new Installer.app, installed it, got everything working perfect. I have Launcher, Lights Off, and the NES Emulator on my phone.

The only problem is.. I have no idea how to get ROMS on the phone, hahaha.

If anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated. =]

Peace!

[tbball128]

i have the same problem any help would be greatly appreicated

[Mubs]

You're in luck because the installer app script jailbroke the iPhone for you. That's really the toughest part. Do you know how to use terminal at all?

[Unregistered]

I ahve the same exact problem someone please help us

[liquidrums]

I'm new to all this & had roms going in a matter of minutes.

Using Installer.app, I installed Launcher & openssh.

With OpenSSH installed, I was able to fire up my favorite FTP client and go to:
sftp://ip.of.i.phone/
& login with "root:dottie" (login:pass).

Copy ROMs to "/var/root/Media/ROMs/NES" on the iPhone, restart (to ensure NES.app reads the fresh folder), and enjoy!

[yahhooooo]

yo could u be a lil more specific i have the same problem to i dont really understand your solution

Can installing ROMS be possible on windows computers?

[sportlouis]

[JFrappuccino]

Just google "free nes roms"
there are plenty of sites with downloadable roms

It might be easier to use iFuntastic. If you don't have a Mac, you can use the instructions at http://www.iphonealley.com/forums/showthread.php?t=743 with an FTP app like FileZilla instead of cyberduck

try putting the ROMs in var/root/Media/ROMs/NES

the last two folders might not exist just make them

[ryanboi056]

Can installing ROMS be possible on windows computers?

yes, it is possible, just download ibrickr v. 0.91, and u can find ROMS here: http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary%27s/Emulation/NES/ROMs/NES_roms_summary%20M-Z.htm

[*jonathan]

Just Go To Hacktheiphone.com And Go To Deprecated 1.0.2 And Finally Go To Nes Emulator

[gr8xtc]

www.rom-world.com remember only download games you own ;)

I Use ibricker It guides you and installing ringtones,apps and roms is easy.

what do you do to sftp://ip.of.i.phone/ what is that

[Wade]

I'm also having some trouble installing roms on the phone.

Here is what I'm using.

1. Legit AT&T iPhone.
2. v1.1.1
3. used jailbreakme.com
4. made use of that installer app and installed the NES emulator. =)
5. Installed BSD Subsystem.

That's about as far as i've gotten. How exactly and what exactly do I need to install/run whatever in order for me to log into my iphone and create these "NES" directories inorder to install roms?

I've tried downloading some Windows based application called WinSCP but I feel that I'm missing some key applications in order to log into my phone.

As of right now I keep getting an error called "Network error: Connection refused." when trying to use that WinSCP app.

I'm typing 192.169.1.xxx for HOST username is ROOT and password is ALPINE on port 22.

Is there something i'm doing wrong? Is there a good place to go to get the most updated instructions on how to do this...

Thanks for any help. =)

[Wade]

Anyone?

This sure is getting frustrating. I'm dying for some games on my iPhone...:mad:

I hear people are installing OpenSSH on their iPhone through the installer app but I can't seem to find that program. Has it been removed and if so how do I get it on there?

[bxbrova718]

this is beginning to frustrate me myself...i did everything needed to do.....im having difficulties getting the games to actually load up on the NES APP on my iphone...i go into files on my iphone and i see the NES ROMs that i had transfered to my phone, but it wont come up for me to play...can someone help and let me know what i can do or where i might have went wrong

[omar]

I can't download cyberduck on windows, any other way to put this on without cyberduck... please help...

[ever1458]

yes, I used winscp(google winscp) to put my roms on my phone in windows. A good source for finding out how to put roms on your iphone is youtube believe it or not. Lots of folks have posted step by step videos on how to do it. If you need help, I can probably walk you through it as well, but try youtube first.

i got winscp
but i just dont know how to connect it
what do i put for the host name, username, and the password

[ever1458]

for the host name you put the ip address of your iphone. You can find that by looking at your wifi settings for your iphone. If using version 1.1.1. firmware, which I recommend, the user name is root and the password is alpine. With winscp make sure you set the drop down menu to ftp and not the default of sftp. You should be in the root directory of your phone at this point. Then you need to create the ROMs and NES folder under the Media folder. You know how to do all of that?

I am doing this but I keep on getting a a connection refused when i us fctp and a connection failed when doing it on ftp. I am using a iphone running 1.1.1 that is jailbrocken and unlocked using the wifi method.

[ever1458]

is your iphone docked at your pc at this time? It should be. if you are getting a connection refused then either you don't have the right ip address or you are entering the wrong user name and password. It should look like this:

host: your iphone ip address
user name: root
Password: alpine
port: leave blank, it should find this on its own, if not then try 20 or 21
connection: FTP

do this while your iphone is docked and it should let you in. Try it a few times in a row even if it gives you an error, may take a while to sync.

[Severed]

Step 1: Enter your iPhone Wifi address in the "Host name" box.
Step 2: Enter the "User name" and "Password"
Firmware 1.0.2 = root dottie
Firmware 1.1.1 = root alpine
Step 3: From the drop down "Protocol" option choose "SCP"
Step 4: Click "Login" and wait until the second popup appears, not the one stating that the host is taking longer than normal to connect, but the other one.
Step 5: Enjoy your newly connected SSH'd iPhone.

Edit: I also recommend using Port 22

[MrCyberdude]

For those having trouble try extracting the files inside the zip/rar/7 files.
Unlike MAME which does not extract the iphone GBA and NES appear to need this done.

[justinwayne]

www.rom-world.com i think they have nes roms i know they have snes roms
also to install roms on windows use ibrickr install them in var/root/roms on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and var/mobile/media/roms on 1.1.3

[David]

U can get download the ROMs packages using limewire, it's like 900 NES ROMs in a win RAR file.
Look for the Win RAR file that has around 90-100 megabytes on Limewire.

[bossdogg]

In limewire type 960 NES ROMs thts all u got to do even my sister could do it:D:D

ok, this may have been answered, but im not sure
8gb, 1.1.4 (registers as 1.1.3 due to something i downloaded to use customize), jainbroken with ziphone,using iphhonebrowser v1.4.0.0

I created the folders that wer eneeded and put the roms in. they are in .rar format. THey don't show up in the emulator, but it knows they are there because prior to putting them on it popped up with the "No ROMS found" thing but now I can access the menus and all. Anybody know whats goin on? Thanks

[Severed]

The files are not exposed to be .rar'd. They have to be extracted in their rom state.

[JFrappuccino]

the nes roms are supposed to end in .nes

[dragons33]

so how do I get them from .rar to .nes?

[Severed]

Use Winrar or 7zip to extract the files. If I'm correct 7zip is free, but I use WinRAR which is not.

[dragons33]

awesome thanks guys

[AndrewBucklin]

For an easier way to get the ROMs, no need for a computer, follow these instructions:

Just need to have jailbroken device with Installer 4. :)

Basically, just add http://123Locker.com to your sources in Installer.app

[StarDrumZ]

Scary part is I think she is only like 12. She does a great job showing you step by step how to get roms for your nes emulator. here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plLNA9nSnSQ


On a side note I did encounter a slight issue with the emulator sucking up all my battery life. I believe that this is due to using 2.1 . If anyone else is having the same problem, I found a decent fix that is quick and a multi tasker. download the app WinterBoard from Cydia. Y you ask? well from what I have experianced, the emulator still thinks it is running when it is shut off. Even if you turn your phone off right after this, your battery life will still continue to drain and quickly. By installing WinterBoard, you can reset your themes/backgrounds and this system reset kills the emulator and hey, you get some nice backgrounds to boot.

Im always open to suggestions if there are alternative ways to get around this issue.

i have added 123locker.com to my sources
then where do i go?

[motopilot]

I have successfully accessed my phone and have added the appropriate folders to put the roms in, then uploaded the rom files to the phone(yes they are in .nes form).

I have seen a few post with people having the same problem I'm having but not one person has responded to them... After restarting my phone I opened the NES app and it gives me an error saying there were no NES roms detected. Please tell me what else I need to do. I will recap what I have done so far...

1. installed openSSH on my iphone
2. installed netatalk on my iphone
3. installed mobilefinder on my iphone
4. installed NES on my iphone
5. used Cyberduck on my macbook to ftp into my iphone
6. in the "/var/root/media" folder I added two folders: "/ROMs/NES"
7. in the NES folder I uploaded about 20 rom files, all ending in ".nes"
8. rebooted my iphone
9. opened the NES app
10. NO ROMS FOUND!

The files are there but my NES app doesnt see it, can someone please tell me where I went wrong?

I used Quickpwn to jailbreak my iphone 3G and have the latest update (v. 2.2.1 I think) on my phone.

[slowb]

Someone at the beginning of this forum typed the wrong folder path to put the roms into.

The WRONG path (from an earlier post) is:
/var/root/media/ROMs/NES

When the CORRECT path is:
/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES

The difference is "mobile" I spent an hour messing with my settings before I figured that one out. Hope it helps!
