Five Dice v0.8b (iPhone Game)

Think Yahtzee! Fun, and easy to play. Great game for killing a time since it will hold your place. Play whenever you want. The iPhone is a great platform for a native version of this game. Enjoy!

Release notes:

Prior to .8b this was very much a proof of concept. The last time I wrote a Yahtzee game was nearly 17 years ago, in HyperCard. After getting an iPhone I found myself missing having Yahtzee on my cell phone. I was also looking for projects to get a little more familiar with the current iPhone development. Once the game was playable and released, I branched off at .2.8b, and rewrote large portions of the code. These changes have made the game more stable, faster, and most importantly more fun to play.

NES.app v1.3.1 (NES emu for iPhone)

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 v1.3.0:

Applied patch submitted by Jordan Laughlin:
Switch to CPU timing instead of PPU timing
Cleaned up scrolling code
Kung Fu and others render properly now
