ROMs NES

[shiunn]

Hi..
I know this is one of those over-asked questions about ROMs, but I believe I've exhausted all the FAQs out there. Please hear me out anyway.

I've jailbreaked using iLiberty, installed NES, and managed to AFP into my phone and pasted a ROM into my phone. But NES still says "Please upload ROMs to /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES" although I've already pasted the rom into "iPhone Root FileSystem", /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES. I've tried reinstalling the NES app too.

My phone is 1.1.4, the ROM is .nes extension. Anyone know what I am missing?

THanks!!!

Make sure your folders have the correct capitalization. The "ROMs" folder must have a lower case "s".

 

[darngooddesign]

Set your permissions to 755 on everything you added.

OK...
Red Sox, I've set the folders and the capitalization all properly, unless I'm a bit dyslexic. hehe.
just to reiterate, this is the folders: /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES

darngooddesign. So, I've downloaded Squid, navigated to Applications/NES.app/NES
and the permisions is in fact already: 493 (755), like this page suggested it should be. http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16264
what else am I missing?

squid does not work properly on the newer firmwares. it doesn't save the permissions. you'll need to look into mobilefinder (with the terminal fixes) or some sort of SSH option.

 

[darngooddesign]

Try WinSCP and do it that way.

wooh..thanks billchase2 and darngooddesign

So I gave up on squid, and tried mobilefinder (without what terminal fixes?) and still failed. Guess I should have tried the terminal fix.

But! I finally gave in and tried the non-Mac way - using WinSCP, and I changed the permission of everything and anything related to ROMs and NES. ca-ching! It works better than AFP (and cleaner too). Darn good it is.

Thanks guys!

Google for the ROMs and upload them manually.
