Here are some more WIP news of ZodTTD’s upcomming Genesis4iPhone:
I finally had time to sit down and work at length on genesis4iphone. After a long run, I changed out the 68000 CPU emulation core, tweaked the audio a bit, and used hardware rotation and scaling for landscape. Combined with some other tweaks and auto-frameskip, genesis4iphone is shaping up very fast! Along with a new icon, and controller skins, this update is much more polished than before.
Now that many games are full speed, it’s time to get videos out of this new version! If you make a nice looking video of it on a service such as YouTube, let me know and I will make it frontpage ZodTTD.com news.
Not many people know of this emulator yet, as the bigger news outlets haven’t picked up on it. Lets get the word out about genesis4iphone, to make this the biggest public release yet. 🙂

Gemlogic is a gem-based puzzle game, much like the one we all know. This one’s a little different though since all moves are allowed, and the difficulty lies in getting to the highest level without your life running out. The higher the level, the more difficult it becomes.
There are three difficulties, beginner, intermediate, and veteran, each offering a different sized board (5×5, 6×6, and 7×7 respectively). Also, the higher the difficulty the faster the life meter decreases.
Release notes:
This update was in response to numerous requests for allowing new themes. The app now checks to see if a new theme exists in ~/Media/Gemlogic/Themes/Default, and if so, loads that theme instead of the default one inside of application package. This is more ideal than people manually inserting new images into the package, since a new release would kill their theme.
