NES Updated – Works on 3.0

Available In: Cydia

Price: $5.99

NES 3 is NES “rewritten” and upgraded. According to the developer the game has been “rewritten from scratch and optimized supporting the iPhone 3.0.” So, while you wait for the rest of your apps to be updated for firmware 3.0, at least you can play ROMS. There is one catch, the app is no longer free…it costs $5.99. No free trial either. Also, the it currently only works in portraite mode (landscape mode is coming in the future).

Personally, I don’t play ROMS enough to shell out $5.99 for this app but, if you are one of the many that are addicted to having ROMS on your iPhone or iPod Touch (and I know there are many of you) it might just be $5.99 well spent.

If you are one of those addicted, we would love to see some screenshots in the comments. You can get NES 3 via the BigBoss source.

NES 2.0.1 Update

Douglas — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 07:33:57 +0000

Here is what the change log shows for updates:

Fixed preference groups to appear with correct headings
Cleaned up orientation changes and fixed scrambled screen bug
Added NSAutoreleasePool
Added LayerKit transitions for aesthetics

In English that means your games are now under lettered categories (see screenshot) and you can browse through them like your contacts by selecting a letter from the far right. There are also nice transitions from the menus to the games with the controller smoothly gliding in. So it’s prettier and more organized
