Genesis4iPhone v1.5.0 WIP (Genesis emu for iPhone)

ZodTTD is pretty active and also posted work in progress news about his Genesis/Megadrive emulator for iPhone. The emulator is not available for the public, but for his beta testers.

Quote:

genesis4iphone is a Sega Genesis and Sega CD emulator for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. It is a port of PicoDrive by fDave and notaz.

Those who are beta testers can now download and use genesis4iphone v1.5.0 which adds more performance, better quality sound, and some UI tweaks (such as having the navbar at the top)!
Games such as Sonic The Hedgehog 1 now run at fullspeed (60 FPS) with sound in landscape mode. 🙂

For those who would like to become a beta tester at ZodTTD.com, just click Donate in the top menu.
Beta testers, a thread is being made in the Beta Testers Club’s genesis4iphone board for discussion on this build.

Thanks for playing,
ZodTTD

Gameboy4iPhone v1.1.0 (Beta) WIP (GBC emu for iPhone)

ZodTTD is currently working on a Gameboy/Gameboy Color emulator for Apple’s iPhone. Amazingly enough is he made a lot of progress the past two days.

Quote:

Be sure to refresh your ZodTTD.com beta repo sources, as gameboy4iphone has been updated to v1.1.0.
Much better sound quality highlights this release!
Here’s the changelog:

Changes 1.1.0:
– Fixed performance decreases when scaled on is set. Turning scaling off decreases performance due to hardware scaling usage. Gameplay should be faster than before.

Changes 1.0.0:

– Fixed sound, quality is now nearly perfect.
– [OBSOLETE in v1.1.1] Fixed landscape aspect ratio for scaling.
– Fixed save state files not saving to file correctly.
– Fixed RTC (real time clock), Pokemon should work better now.
– Fixed SRAM (saves on cart) so games now save correctly.
– Fixed some issues with the GUI such as save states not deleting.
– Updated portrait controller skins.
– Hopefully improved performance and compatibility slightly in the process.

This will most likely be the last release before a public version of v1.1.0. Depending on how complete this release is, more betas should follow such as getting framelimiting implemented so things dont run too fast. See ya in the ZodTTD beta testers club!

Thanks,
ZodTTD

FW v2.0-240d deflowered (iPhone misc)

The iPhone Dev Team has sorted how to unlock the latest firmware Apple has seeded to developers (240d), just a few days after it was released.

Quote:

Due to gray’s initial RCE of the baseband, and combined with a neutered bootloader, unlocking recent and future basebands has been reduced to a simple byte search.

MobileTwitter v1.5 (iPhone Application)

MobileTwitter is an iPhone/iPod Touch client for Twitter.

Changes:

The Update View has been redesigned and moved. It is no longer on the button bar at the bottom of the screen, but exists on the top right corner of every view. Clicking the “Update” button will slide the update view down over your current view. No more mis-clicking on buttons while going for the spacebar.

Settings view reorganized, with new options

Enable/Disable secure connections. This was enabled by default under the hood, but some users are experiencing connection problems, disabling secure connections may help.

MobileTwitter now automatically checks for new @replies and direct messages, displaying the new number on the button bar for Messages. The “Messages” view has been updated to show this count, and also include the “>” arrow for each menu option. Any new @replies will show up with a blue sphere beside them (similar to MobileMail.app and new messages)

New menu option when tapping tweets: View user’s tweets. This loads the users 20 most recent tweets.

New springboard icon.

Black UI

Manual “Reload” button on each tab

Smaller font for tweets seems to help with fitting all the text in one box hopefully no more trailing “…”s on tweet texts.

Manually reloading a view will now make sure the view scrolls to the top

Public Timeline renamed to “Everyone” in accordance with Twitter.com changes

Many under the hood core changes.

rRootage v1.0 (iPhone Game)

This game is similar NOIZ2SA (Yep, another shootemup!). The main menu allows you to choose from four different games modes and 10 levels with-in each game mode. Once you select which game mode and level you would like, just two finger tap to enter the game. You can move your little guy at the bottom by dragging it around. The objective of the game is to shoot the “thing” at the top without getting killed. You can two finger tap to set off bombs (they look more like shields to me!). The game play is smooth and the graphics are sweet!

Thanks to Brooke / http://www.appleiphoneschool.com for the news.

Wiki2Touch v0.65 (iPhone Application)

Wiki2Touch is an open source wikipedia server/reader for the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch.

Changes:

Template caching works without any change of rights now for firmware 1.1.3/1.1.4, too. If you’ve not modified anything in the past while using 0.60 together with firmware 1.1.3/1.1.4 you will see the articles now displayed much faster once the template is cached.

Support for #expr/#ifexpr parser functions. Have a look at articles like “2008? (the year 2008). Mainly all the links in the head area are computed by the use these new functions.
Preliminary math support: At least the text from the math-tags is extracted and displayed with a gray background for better readability and the math symbol “Pi” is displayed as the Greek symbol. Nothing else.

More than 30 changes for better rendering support. The changes covering smaller issues like to much spaces or line feeds, correct handling of headlines, reference lists and enumerations, up to the support of sometimes very complex templates (i.e. in the English edition articles like “Al Gore” or “George Washington”. And a bug which crashed the server was also removed.
