Dr. Video Games 0050 posted:So how's emulation on the new iPad? What emulators can it run and how well? Try out Snes9x EX. Besides running the games perfectly it includes Wiimote support, state saves, and in-depth video rendering options. Plus it's free because the Snes9x emulator is on a non-commercial license. Don't pay for an inferior SNES emulator! Also check out more from Robert Broglia. He has created a near perfect emulation platform that overshadows all others in Cydia.

I guess he designs everything for phones, because if you play it on an Android tablet (or in any configuration where your status bar may be at the bottom of the screen), you can't hit some buttons because they are behind the status bar.

Does Snes9x EX play NES roms too or would I have to get a separate emulator?

pseudonordic posted:This is correct. When you jailbreak your phone, you exploit the currently running instance of iOS and use that exploit to place data and apps on your phone. If you restore through iTunes, you'll effectively install a new instance of iOS with a clean slate. update>erase all contents and settings>jailbreak>restore from backup. So now restoring doesn't wipe the jailbreak, you need to erase all contents and settings instead.

That didn't work until I restored and tried again but it does work now. I restored and my smc stuff wasn't working but zips work, thanks! ScummVM works too now, I haven't tried psx4all yet but I'm hoping it does too.

Coincidentally I'm hoping to make a boxing game with controls similar to infinity blade. I spent the whole weekend getting my dev environment set up with a hackintosh and no developer license. These instructions for developing on a jailbroken iDevice are still valid for the latest versions of xcode and ios sdk, you just have to adjust the paths according to one of the most recent comments on the article.

First time jailbreaker here. I read through the OP and can't seem to figure out an answer. If I jailbreak will and keep my saved games? If you do should I decide to restore from my backup will my saves have also backed up? I have a few games I'm midway through that I really don't want to lose my progress on. Thanks

It changes the unlocking animation to a simple folding animation (so it looks like you're folding the lock screen like a piece of paper, revealing your home screen behind it). It's free so it doesn't hurt to try.

wildlele posted:Grr I got Cydia on my iPad 3 but when I erase everything to restore from iCloud it just hangs with the spinning wheel icon It hangs when it tries to erase all content and settings on the device, right? I actually jailbroke twice on 5.1.1 due to new version of Absinthe and both times my phone also hanged during this suggested step. I ended up backing up AND updating/restoring to vanilla 5.1.1 on iTunes, then jailbreaking, then restoring from my backup, and it all worked fine - had to sync my Apps via iTunes after restoring since they still weren't on my phone, but once they synced all my data and saves were intact.

Anyone know of an app that will allow me to move my unlock slider to the right? I always pickup and hold my ipad in landscape and that mod would be nice. I cant be bothered to move my hand 2.5 inches.

Use lockinfo to get rid of clock and slide to unlock and there you go. Works best on a dark background.

Is there an app to make the new iPad display resolution like an iPad2? Getting sick of choppy framerates on more demanding games due to the high resolution. Just a long shot, I doubt it is even possible, but just thought I'd ask.

Yeah, this isn't a huge deal for me but it'd be nice to see some games give you a speed vs quality slider, speed running in iPad 2 mode, quality running in retina mode.

Blimpkin posted:Is there a way to sync a PS3 controller? Even if there was I can't imagine anything would work with one due to the lack of an appropriate API in currently existing software. I suppose JB programs like emulators could incorporate something like this, and I hope someone gets around to making it work, but at present I doubt you could meaningfully control anything with one at the moment. Maybe button taps, but the d-pad and sticks would probably be unmappable to any sort of directional inputs.

You can already pair and use the Wiimote for some games using BTStack so it shouldn't be that much of a leap to get a PS3 controller working if they ever get around it.
