아이패드(iPad)와 아이폰(iPhone)을 이용하여 슈퍼패미콤(SNES9X) 에뮬레이터를 구동하는 동영상이 공개되었습니다.

아이패드 자체로도 에뮬레이터를 구동할 수 있지만 무게가 꽤 되기 때문에 아이패드를 들고 있는 상황에서는 게임을 하기가 어렵습니다.

이런 점을 해결하기 위해서 아이폰을 마치 슈퍼패미콤의 컨트롤러(게임패드)로 활용하는 기발한 아이디어가 나왔습니다. 

스크린샷이나 동영상을 보면 알 수 있듯이 도트가 튀지 않고 정말 HD 화질도 깔끔하게 에뮬레이터 게임을 할 수 있습니다.

Yusef Napora 라는 개발자가 릴리즈한 SNES HD for iPad 프로그램을 사용하면 iPhone를 컨트롤러로 사용할 수 있습니다.

이미 파일 공개도 했는데 아이패드와 아이폰 모두 탈옥(Jailbreak)을 시켜야 한다고 하네요.

자세한 사용방법은 개발자 홈피인 http://wherethewoozlewasnt.com/?page_id=12 를 참고하세요.


<SNES HD for iPAD & iPHONE 동영상>

• Save state preview snapshots
• iPad optimized interface with “virtual console”

If you like SNES (HD), please consider donating a buck or two. I am releasing everything for free, in keeping with the licensing terms of Snes9x, which is free for non-commercial use only. ZodTTD has chosen to ignore that constraint go commercial with his ports, and while I was personally happy to pay the six bucks for snes4iphone, I think that there should be a free alternative. I have no intention of ever charging for this app or including ads. This is strictly something I made because I wanted to play with it and have the skills to make it so. That said, it would feel really nice to see a little show of support from the community, and all donations will be greatly appreciated.

Installation

To play with SNES (HD), you’ll need a jailbroken iPad and at least one jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch.

I’m planning to submit my packages to the ModMyI repository Real Soon Now, but in the meantime you can access them through my new Cydia repository.  In Cydia (on both the iPad and any iPhones you want to use) go to the “Manage” tab and click on “Sources.”  Tap the “Edit” button at the top-right and then tap the “Add” button at top-left.  In the prompt that appears, enter http://wherethewoozlewasnt.com/cydia and hit “Add Source.”  After a couple minutes the source should appear in the “Entered By User” section.  Tap the “Done” button, and then tap on the entry for wherethewoozlewasnt.com.  Install SNES (HD) by tapping on it and tapping “Install.”  Repeat on your iPhone to install the ControlPad app.

Usage

In order to use SNES (HD) you’ll need to put some Super Nintendo ROM files in /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/SNES using your favorite file-transfer method.  Personally I like to use iFile or AFP (netatalkd), but whatever gets your motor running is fine, so long as the files end up in the right place.  Once you’ve got some games in there, start up SNES (HD) on the iPad and ControlPad on the iPhone, making sure that Bluetooth is enabled on both machines.  They should start looking for each other right away, and in a minute the ControlPad will pop up a little “Tap to Connect” view.  Tap on the entry for your iPad, and in a second the iPad will display an “Accept/Deny” screen.  Hit accept and you’ll be connected.  Then just select a ROM from the list on the left (if you’re in portrait mode, the list is accessible by tapping the “ROMs” button).  Hit the Power button and you’re good to go.  While playing the game, double-tap on the iPad’s screen to pull up a Save/Quit menu.  Whenever you save your state, a screenshot is taken, and it will be displayed when you select that save state later.  To load a save state, select one from the list below the console and hit the “Load” button instead of “Power”.
