NES.app v1.1.4 (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 v1.1.3:

Quiet triangle and noise audio channels when PCM completes
Minor tweaks to mapper 4
Added build switch for -DDEBUG
Simplified Map4 IRQs
Fixed save state for mapper 4 games
Added junk-cell fix for scrolling

*WALLPAPER TOOL-
You may notice the PSP XMB allows you to save any picture as your PSP wallpaper. You may also notice that when you do this, your XMB Wave is no longer visible. Wallpaper Tool allows you to make your XMB waves visible again after setting a pic as wallpaper. There are some stipulations you must follow, if you don’t want your xmb icons corrupted (white boxes around them)

– you must dummy all glow/shadows in your topmenu, with clean blanks.

– You MUST NOT over load the PSP’s ram. So too much customizing (click sounds volume bar ect)at the same as high res bg. So after you set your high res wallpaper with Wallpaper tool, do your other mods one at a time, too see how much customizing you can get away with, with out overloading RAM. (which corrupts your icons)
