MegaZeux (SVN314) (NDS misc)

This is a port of MegaZeux to the DS. Extract it to the root of your flash card so the files are in /games/megazeux. Apply the appropriate DLDI patch. Gameplay works for medium-sized worlds (~500KB). Larger worlds will run out of memory and crash.

MegaZeux, or MZX, is a game creation system (GCS) based on Tim Sweeney/Epic Megagames’ classic shareware game ZZT. MegaZeux was created in late 1994 by Gregory Janson, who formed his own company, Software Visions (now defunct). Like ZZT, MZX was originally released as shareware and the world editor portion of the program was included for free, allowing third parties to create their own worlds without even registering.

NES.app v1.2.0 (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 v1.1.5:

More PPU fixes; made these games work: GI Joe, Rolling Thunder, Round Ball, Spy Hunter … more?
Got rid of flickering in Zelda 2
Final Fantasy 1/2 appear to also work, but not sure when that happened

Changes:

All puzzles should now be solvable.
The state of the buttons is now saved when Lights Off is quit.
Button presses can now be cancelled by dragging your finger off the button before letting go.

– Up to 10000 frames, or until memory runs out.
– Undo/redo. Up to 32 levels, or until it fills its 128KB buffer.
