iPhone Backup Decoder Script v2 (iPhone misc)

iTunes stores a backup of some of the iPhone files on your computer. This script will extract these files so that you can view and edit them.

The script does not currently support re-encoding.

Make a copy of your ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ and run the script against the *.mdbackup files. The script will create a MobileSyncExport folder which will contain the extracted files.

Currently supports Mac OS X. Tested on Python 2.3.5 and upwards.

The output is a folder full of plist and SQLite databases. If that doesn’t mean anything to you or you don’t know how to use Terminal to run a python script, this script will not be of use to you.

Quake4iPhone (iPhone Game Port)

ZodTTD, master porter and hobby homebrewer, has released his port of Quake to the iPhone! It will require you to use an iPhone or iPod with latest firmware (v2).

Release notes:

Heya everyone! ZodTTD here.

As you can tell the site was having various connectivity and usage issues. Everything should be working fine now. If it’s not, use the contact form in the top menu to reach me.

The reason for the downtime was largely due to massive influx of quake4iphone downloads. Within a matter of a few hours, over 7000 downloads were completed. The number continues to rise way up today now that the ZodTTD.com webserver is under control!

So yes that’s right, I have released quake4iphone publicly for iPhone and iPod Touch firmware 2.0 users via the built-in ZodTTD Cydia repo.

quake4iphone, a Quake 1 port, includes the shareware 2 level pack. You may add your retail pak files to enable retail levels. The screen mapped virtual keys CTRL, SHIFT, and ALT can be binded in the config.conf file.

Some things on the todo list:
– Add tesu’s controller skin.
– Add a key to go back from the menu.
– Make sure saved games work.
– Make sure internet multiplayer works.
– Small tweaks where needed.

Let me know what you think, be sure to leave feedback / comments!

textReader for OS2 v2.1 (iPhone Application)

textReader for iPhone OS2 has reached a final stage.

This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), eReader/Peanut Press (.pdb), Rich Text Format (.rtf), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), CHM (.chm), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn’t have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it supports many formats and can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause problems with some UI Text View/Web View based apps. It also gives you some options to reformat/reflow text so that it might be more readable on the iPhone’s smaller screen. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.
