Help uploading snes roms - ModMyiFone.com | iPhone forums, iPhone hacks, iPhone unlock

I don't have wifi available from my comp so I downloaded iphonebrowser. It works fine. I can access the files and folders of my iPhone just fine. I clicked on the snes app on my phones screen to make sure that I would have the right directory, and this is what it said:

Put the files in "var/root/Media/ROMs/SNES"
and for 1.1.3 FW put them into the directory:
"var/mobile/Media/ROMs/SNES"

So I saw a problem right off the bat when I opened iphonebrowser, which was that even though I'm running 1.1.3 firmware I'm in the directory var/root. Now is this what's causing the issue?

Now, even though I thought that might be an issue I created the folders that the emulator told me to, and the emulator is not recognizing that there are any roms in that folder. I have only two guesses. The first being what I mentioned above, and the second being that maybe I have my roms with the wrong file extension. I read somewhere that they are supposed to be .smc files, but if I'm wrong please let me know.

I searched for answers, but couldn't find anything helpful so anything you guys can offer would be great thanks!

just add s.apfelphone.net to your sources, they have an snes rom pack.

iPhoneBrowser doesn't know about firmware 1.1.3 and above locations yet, but you can move to any location.

If you can't see /var/root and /var/mobile, does iPhoneBrowser say you need to jailbreak?

If so, you need to add the afc2 service. For firmware 1.1.3, you can add i.unlock.no to your Installer sources and install ZiPhone iBrickr Fix from the Unlocking Tools category.

For other firmware, search the File Mods forums for how to manually add afc2.

use terminal or other program to chmod the files to 755

I added this source and downloaded the rom pack off but the roms dont show up. When i go to my nes emulator, it just say "no roms found"

is your emulator an nes or snes emulator?

I used that source and the snes roms worked! There is no sound though

But man it was great playing Diddy Kong again!!

P.S.-there are also NES roms too!

alright. So I installed the ibrickr fix, and I got the ROMs on my iphone. But! There is another problem. They don't work!!! So my guess is maybe they are the wrong file type?? The emulator will open now and recognizes that there are ROMs in the folder, but I can't play them. I have them all as .smc files. Is that right? If so then does amy have any suggestions on my next step? And if not then anyone know what the correct file extension is?

where did you get a snes emulator?

andypropaganda · #10 (**permalink**) 03-23-2008, 10:15 PM

From installer.

The source is http://zodttd.com/repo

If you don't already have it then add it, and you will be able to find the SNES emulator.

Also guys, I installed that ROM package, and it didn't work for me? I also found out that some of the ROMs I have do work, but some don't. So I'm just assuming that the ROMs are bad and that it has nothing to do with the emulator?
