Getting NES roms on a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch without a computer (Wi-Fi is needed).

This guide will give you a way to download 69 roms onto your iPhone/iPod touch! Version 2.0+ is needed.

Step 1: Step One: downloading NES

First, you will need to go into the Cydia installer application. After it loads up, go to search and type in this: NES. Very simple. Scroll down to the "N's" and click on NES. Install it. The icon will look like the one in the top right corner of the picture.

I did this and it down loaded but then when i go to the NES App it keeps bombing and going back to the home screen do you have to by NES 3V or dose the Free NES app work as well?

Are ROMS ILLEGAL?

[chilll2009]

It is only illegal to the person whom you downloaded the rom from

[matroska]

But technically, if you own the NES game at home, it is legal to have more copies, in whatever format are those copies. That's why downloading a ROM is legal, considering you already own a copy of the game. Of course, Nintendo will once in a while bash into your house and verify that you truly possess a physical game when you downloaded some ROMs.

Does owning the vitural console fame count?

[FrozenPhyre]

In short, yes they are illegal. There is more about them on the Nintendo website.
