iPad’s screen + iPhone controller(s) = SNES(HD) gaming action

Posted By: Gaurav Sood | May 26 2010

Out of the blue, a guy comes up with his own version of the Snes9x Super Nintendo emulator based on ZodTTD’s iPhone port snes4iphone, and you’re guaranteed for SNES (HD) gaming action. SNES (HD) is controlled with an iPhone app over Bluetooth, and up to four players can connect at once. As you can see in the video given after the break, the interface has been designed to take advantage of the iPad's roomy screen. To play with SNES (HD), you’ll need a jailbroken iPad and at least one jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch.

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.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).
