NES.app is a Nintendo emulator for Apple’s iPhone. NES.app uses a modified version of the popular 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 full sound, game genie codes, saved games, battery-saved ram support, and full screen support.

Changes since v1.00 RC4:

Back to toolchain v0.20
Fixed PCM wave channel (Zelda sword, Punchout Cheering, etc)
Fixed buzzing on audio channels 1 & 2
Fixed game genie entry screen
Added “PCM Sound” preference to turn off PCM if problems
Fixed delete swipe to hilight correct table cell
Replaced reset button for mute button

NOTE: 1.0 Saved games are incompatible with previous versions !!

Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Changes:

Global persistence works! Books.app remembers where you left off in every darn file you read.

Added “unread” indicators for easily telling where you’ve left off. (Only applies to files, not folders.)

Delete books from the file browser! Swipe your finger across the book (or directory thereof) and watch the magic.

Cover art available! Put a “cover.jpg” or “cover.png” file in the root level of your book’s directory, and it will display in the file browser. Get your books from http://manybooks.net and choose iPhone Books.app format, and cover art comes along for free!

Officially released improved copybookdir.sh, provided by Aaron Davies. Thanks, Aaron!

Some HTML files with width tags may display better. This is a horrible kludge–don’t expect miracles.

There are quite a few lines concerning the status of the MAME port to iPhones. There is still no download.

CURRENT STATUS: Can definitely be made playable by choosing a suitably old version of MAME. Tested with version 0.29 since the code was simple enough back then to slap together something quickly to test performance. I am going to arbitrarily target whatever version runs the Galaga ROM I have on my arcade machine. I suppose I should start thinking about how I want to do the configurable control system. In addition to the straightforward “this area of the screen is this button/joystick/trackball/dial” controls, I’d like to support gesture based inputs as well. Imagine playing Tempest by making an actual circular motion on the touch-screen, or tapping anywhere to fire, or gesturing left-right up-down to move the joystick. You could play Pacman without any screen real estate wasted by displaying controls. I should be able to actually put some time into this over the weekend while I’m on vacation.
