How to get ROMs onto iPhone/iTouch Guide

[Zabumafu]

Okay I have seen so many of these questions and I decided to make a guide. This one will be based off that for a Mac as I believe more Mac users have iTouch/iPhone than PC.

Update: The procedure should work for PC aswell. I added a link to an SSH program from PC.



In order to get any ROM's onto a iPhone you will need a number of things.
-Game Bios
-ROM's
-Open SSH
-Fugu or any other SSH program



..::Game Bios::..
Game Bios is very easy to get. I am not sure if I am allowed to post then though. It is very simple to find, a simple Google is the key.



..::Roms::..
Also very easy to find, Google is your friend.




..::Open SSH::..
To get open SSH on your iPhone there are many ways you can get it but I will tell you the way I thought was the easiest. Assuming that you have jailbroken your iPhone, go to installer and download the following:
-OpenSSH
-BSD Subsystems
-Ulctl

From there turn on SSH which is easy after that and make sure that your iPhone and computer are going off the same wifi router.



..::Fugu::..
Download fugu if you are on a Mac (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15693). From there we will connect your iPhone to Fugu.

Update: For PC download this Winscp: (http://winscp.net/eng/download.php).
If it does not work tell me.

-Go to your iPhone and click Settings>General>Auto Lock>Never. Then go back to settings and click Wifi>(Blue Arrow on your Connection).

-On your Mac, copy the ip Address into the Connect To. For the Username change it to Root. When it connects(it can take a sec) the password is alpine.

edit: If you are still on firmware 1.0.2 first off I recommend upgrading to 1.1.1 but if you choose not to the password is dottie.





..::Placing ROMs::..

-Place all roms in a folder named GBA. Then create another folder named ROMs(Cap sensitive) and place GBA inside it.

-Now on Fugu go to Applications>gpsPhone. In there place the bios from before.

-With the ROMs folder, now go back to Fugu and place it in Var>Root>Media and drag and drop it anywhere in there.

Update: For 1.1.3 and Up place files in Var>Mobile>Media instead




Now you should be able to play your ROMs! I hope this helped as I have seen too many threads about this and not many in depth guides.

All you would have to do is go back into the folder using fugu and deleat everything inside it. Then deleat the folder and its gone
