After the news boom that happened after we announced the N64iPhone emulator was coming soon, Zodttd has decided to release some more details to clarify and try and stop some of the confusion about the emulator for things like how you are going to control your charactor when there isn’t even space on the screen for all those buttons.
Here are the details he released:
- N64iphone is for jailbroken iPhone’s & iPod Touches only. It will officially support iPhone 3gs and iPod Touch 3rd Gen’s though I will enable it to work on all Apple device’s as soon as I can.
- The N64iphone project is absolutely free. I will not charge for this software, as it is based on others work.
- I’m not sure how well it will perform just yet. Performance is less a worry than controls though.
- I will be taking recommendations for control schemes for N64iphone. Most likely two areas will be needed for analogs which you use your thumbs for. One small dpad, and the digital buttons will be needed in the overlay as well. So far expect each side to have controls on them in landscape. The middle of the screen will have the N64 screen with correct aspect ratio.
- I will be testing N64iphone with an iControlPad.
- There is no exact release date yet for N64iphone.
He has also said that once the emulator is compiled, he will be releasing videos of it working. Can’t wait to see this up and running!
