NES.app is a fully functional, feature-rich Nintendo emulator for Apple’s iPhone.

NES.app uses a heavily modified version of the InfoNES emulation core to mimic the 6502 processor in a Nintendo Entertainment System, allowing you to play ROM dumps of games designed for the NES console. ROM dumps are files containing the dumped instruction code from a physical cartridge. In many cases, you are legally entitled to posess a ROM dump of any game that you presently own. ROM images for NES are widely available online, or with the appropriate hardware, you can dump them yourself directly from the cartridge.

NES.app started as a fork of iPhoneNES v0.01, but has been completely rewritten to run very fast, and with many additional features including sound, multitouch support, full-screen, landscape mode, game genie codes, saved games and much more.

Changes:

Cleaned up controller images
Documentation updates

You play with crayons and physics. The goal of the game is to move the red ball so that it collects the stars. You can cause the red ball to move by drawing physical objects.

Changes:

New rendering engine using OpenGL, a lot more faster than the previous one and with texture support!
Support for images and animations for objects, as can be seen on the first level of the Crayon Physics pack (I’ll update the others in the next update)
Sound effects, and an option on the main menu to turn them off. The sound is currently playing as a system sound, so you have to turn them on to hear anything.
Multi-touch support! Up to 5 simultaneous touches are registered and processed. For now it’s only useful for triggers, but I may add something extra for them in the future.
Basic scoring added, online scoring soon to come.
Some new flags and trigger actions, see the iPhysics_Levelpack_Format page.

Backgammon for iPhone is native application to run on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.

Waves is a small toy for your apple iPhone or iPod touch. You can select a predefined image or your own wallpaper and you can touch the screen to generate some wave effect over the image.

Display of a popup when pressing the floating button.
Quicker display of the floating button.

Lyrics.app is a lyrics viewer for iPod touch and iPhone. Source Code is available now too!

The new official iPhone Firmware is out along with a new version of iTunes.

SMS multiple people at once
Chapters, subtitles, languages (Video playback related)

In the year 2574 a lot of things have changed. Humans have colonized our solar system and the O81b “flying saucer”is the primary means of getting around town. However, some things don’t change, specifically the need for diamonds. In 2574, the largest known diamond in the solar system was found in the moon, Titan. But in the process of trying to mine it, the 2 petaton atomic bomb used was overkill and scattered diamonds across the planet and across the solar system. You are one of the many that have equipped their O81b’s with rock blasters and set off to mine for the diamonds. But watch out, the explosion also caused a lot of meteorites! Good luck diamond hunter, and get rich!

Features:
* shoot rock in attempt to find diamond that is same color as playfield (also ball) except it flickers (the diamond)
* 2 players
* can shoot opposing player
* get points by collecting diamonds (“win” game at 10 diamonds?)
* may/may not die by hitting playfield
* can select different levels
* can bump into other player
* falling meteorites
* ground quakes when playfield is shot
* player resting position landing strip is “safe” to land on
* self-destruct sequence when lander is damaged (colors of red)

Changes:

0.7 – 2 more levels with no gravity, faster reentry time
