Of all the places, I would have thought that in threads like this thread would be the place where forum pirates would be posting their links for cracked apps and all. Could not even imagine that it would happen in the iPod Touch Discussion thread! Sneaky little devils, THREE members there reported to both the mods here and to Apple.

You cant go wrong with Texas Hold Em. I was not even a fan of Poker, and I'm hooked.

Make sure you go straight, bro. Justice knows no friendly faces.

I urge everyone to stay legit. And if you care to stay legit, and if you see a blatant act of piracy in action on the forum, report it in. Or if you're reluctant to tarnish your good name, pass the thread link to me, and I'll report it in, to the mods here and to Apple. You will stay anonymous and out from the possible anger of these pirates.

Long story shot, help me keep the forum clean from these dirtbags.

Why are you doing this on an iPhone instead of a laptop? That is rich compared to the more common way, doing it on an iPhone is still considered luxury, and not practised commonly and I reckon you want to do this simply because it is there for you. But that is still not a reason to pirate.

I notice you looking for links to ROMs as well for your emulator. Understand that unless you own these games on physical carts, downloading a ROM does constitutes that act of piracy. I know it sounds ridiculous, since you cannot find these ROMs anymore, but unless they are released as open source and no longer made for sale anymore, you could still be tied to that act of piracy. There are ROMs of games release freely, like the free ame that comes with ScummVM but other than that, you know what I mean.

I believe you're looking for NES ROMs. ROMs are "Read Only Memory" files, they are data read and dumped from physical carts, NES carts in this case, into a single ROM file. DEpending on which NES game ROM you downloaded, each of them are treated differently wihen it comes to the legality of having them. And I believe Nintendo, the joint owners of copyrights of these games, have not released any one of them for free, which is why you still see NES games like Mario Bros. still being released as games offered on the Virtual Console platform on Nintendo Wii. General rule is, if they remain for sale, they are not available for free. And I believe Nintendo have not released any of them for free distribution as of the writing of this post.

Something to read about. I cant stop you if you do it outside the boundaries of this forum, but I'm not suggesting you do it either. Just as long as you know that it is wrong, I leave it up to you, as a grown person to weigh the moral consequence of your actions. Whatever you do outside this forum, is your call.

I would suggest that if anyone wants a preview of the iPhone games to type the name of the game in Youtube and watch the clips there.

Downloading Spore Origins now too......iTunes is dam sloooooooow now, after yesterday's TMNet fiasco.

Can use, yes.......but 4 hours to download a 79.9MB Spore Origin installation file!!??

ARRGGHHHHHH!!

Did you back up your iTunes folder? Your apps should reside under the "Mobile Applications" subfolder in that iTunes folder. Otherwise.............download semula? That should be...errr....."fun".

Good start for Spore. At least the game doesnt boot me off to the Home screen like Scrabble does. Very very smooth animation and beautiful visuals.

OMG! Spore Origins is addictive! In no time I made Level 8 Volcanic Crevice stage. My organism/spore already have mandibles for Perceptions, and hard shells for Defense. Level 8 is a bit difficult when you

I wholeheartedly recommend Spore Origins. I've customised my organism with a Zelda/Link wallpaper wrapped around it as its skin, looks very festive and colorful! No wonder other creatures are biting at my ass, too colorful to get unnoticed!

EDIT: The review states 18 levels only, so the game may be short. Just a word of caution to prospective buyers.

Real Soccer 2009 is available now on AppStore. Any takers?

Sigh....been looking high and low for an app in Appstore that would give me the sunrise/sunset times, so that I dont have to do manual calculations to calculate those. They have sunrise/set figures for cities, but in my line of work, I'd need calculations based on latitude and longitude.

I'm an end-user, so writing one would require proper research on what the SDK can do.

I propose that app that cater to that to anyone who can come up with that, and I'd gladly pay. Free is nice, but I see production value when I see one, and if your app is done proper and works proper, you deserve my money.

The SDK requires payment, right?
