Fazana posted:I played a mame and snes emulator on a mates jailbroken ipad3 at the weekend via a classic controller connected to a wiimote and oh my, I am so tempted to sort mine out as well. I know it would never happen with Jobs etc philosophy but if Apple had included bluetooth controller support in the api/os etc from the start we'd be so much better off! This, to me, is one of the coolest things I've done with my iPad. Emulation on it with a classic controller is so awesome. And a classic controller + wiimote makes for a great, relatively cheap controller. Are the good emulators (the .emu ones) still on the cydia store? I remember them getting taken down because of some paymet problem.

You have to send the developer the money for the emulators through Amazon Payments via the donation page on his website. He then manually sends you the Cydia license for the software, where you can then download/update it.

I think it works like this: - You 'lose' if the opponent scores a star against you. - You get 1 star for destroying the town hall, 1 star for destroying 50% of the buildings and 1 star for destroying everything.

Although I've never seen the option for a ps3 controller in an ios emulator. It's all usually labelled like "scan for wiimote" or icade. But of course I've never looked for it.

I think PS3 controllers have some weird proprietary thing going on? I'd like to use one with my PC too, but I have to spoof my computer to make it think it's a 360 controller to make it work with any games. They have some kind of driver incompatibility.

BGrifter posted:Could be, I only gave it a very brief look and decided I wasn't interested in doing the legwork. Seems like it should be possible, I think someone in the TA thread said they had Daggerfall running playable but not stellar. This has been my dream for a while, an iOS GOG wrapper emulator. I doubt it'll ever happen -- not to mention that most games don't lend themselves to a touchscreen control scheme anyway

There is a third-party driver for PC at least for SixAxis Controllers. But I don't know of any standardization for it as of yet.

I haven't seen much talk about it and always made an excuse not to buy it but Little Inferno and World of Goo look to go hand-in-hand. This thread ends up costing me so much money

Froist posted:Has this changed now? It used to be the case that an app could schedule local notifications (but not push) without the permission dialog ever appearing, and you couldn't disable these through the system settings. I've definitely installed a game since iOS 6 that's been sending me "you're neglecting me" local notifications without ever asking me, but looking now it does appear in the Notification Center settings to be disabled. Really? Everything I've seen regarding notifications is that everything is pretty much identical on a base level, and they go out of their way to talk about how Remote and Local notifications are identical from a user's point of view. I will admit that I haven't sat down and attempted to schedule Locals with notifs disabled on my kit, though.

Well, you're a member of a clan and your clanmates have requested troops for their clan castles, as should you. This is pretty normal? With the latest update you can see how many troops each member of your clan has donated. Give troops unless you're the only one, in which case find a different clan.

So, uh, I did a thing: From  to  In one day. Turns out there's an exploit. If you're having trouble with the bottlenecks (time or money or plutonium): Turns out if you move a building, there's an additive gold/second increase, which means if you take your most expensive building and move it back and forth, your gold per second will increase dramatically. If, for some reason, you also have the gene pool, you can buy plutonium for 2 mil per try, which also lets you bypass timers. I actually found this out because I'm a huge sperg and like moving my buildings around to be most aesthetically pleasing, and in doing so ended up with 1.5x my reported gold per second. I assumed it was just a bug but when I logged in the next day, my gold per second was exactly what it was reported as. So, uh, yeah. It makes the game kinda boring though. I'm at 301 land and 90 mil right now. :| tl;dr: Get your most expensive building and move it back and forth between the same two places, and watch your gold per second go UP, UP, UP. I stopped at 250k/second because it was late and I wanted to go to bed.

My best guess was maybe the trees were giving more than they said but hadn't tried letting buildings go idle and just collecting trees to check it yet. I've also rearranged my city a lot as well, to try and keep it laid out correctly. Got a central forest/massive park in the middle of everything to idle on and collect tree money.

Real Racing 3 appears to be heading to the NZ appstore even though its release date was down as the 28th? Aha, apparently it's out in NZ, Australia and Canada today/tonight with a worldwide launch on the 28th. Time to make an NZ account I guess!

psylent posted:It's not out in Australia yet. If you were looking under Firemint (like I was for a while) it is listed under Electronic Arts, I eventually found it there after asking on the TA forum. 1.8gig install size, already complaints about the IAP over there. Downloading now and will give a brief road trip (haha! *coughs*) later. Edit: Well, I'm not sure they thought through you needing to take a two minute wait when you buy your very first car, that's a hell of a first impression! I'm typing this as I wait 15 minutes for my oil to be refreshed after managing 5 races or so... The preview on TA said once you have more than one car the wait times don't feel anywhere near as bad but for you to be hanging around like this so early isn't great. If they want you to spam Facebook they could at least reward for it like Asphalt 7 did. Also the "Watch this video to earn IAP currency" didn't work so I sat through a terrible Lynx ad for nothing. As far as the driving goes, well, it seems as good as the last version. It was one of my main early ipad purchases which probably didn't get the playtime it merited so it will take other people than I to suggest if this has a lot more tracks, cars etc and how it compares that way. The early signs are that it will be a decent racing title but I hope I can save the coins up to buy a second car asap. Edit 2: Well after another few races my car was looking fairly beat up in all of the categories so I put it in for servicing for each part. The car will be ready to use again in 6 hours 14 minutes. I can of course use IAP currency to fix it now. You get 20 to start off with and I got 5 more for reaching driver level 2. It wants 14 currency points to remove 6 hours of repair time.

JazzFlight posted:For some reason, moving my buildings around didn't do anything to my cps. I guess it only works for some people. Based purely on observational guesswork, i'm guessing that when you move a building it does some horribly unoptimised stuff that makes it drop a bunch of frames, and rather than fix this they try to account for it in the next update tick by rebalancing the payout for what you missed, and then never stops giving you this bonus amount. And you can stack it. Reminds me of the "hammer the button to get the payout over and over" trick from Tiny Tower.
