I’m sure by now most of you are wondering what happened and where the Cydia Repo is…
Well I encountered an unexpected issue and have been unable to find any help or documentation on the issue related to Cydia. Messages to Saurik have been unsuccessful, and I don’t blame him, he’s quite a busy guy.

(The biggest issue is having Cydia install a file to a known sub-directory of an unknown parent directory.)

However I obviously want to get this repo out quickly so I have created a work around which you can download from my repo in Cydia.

Earlier I had wrote about some “Important notes on Custom GamePacks for C64.app”.

Forget everything I said

I’ve realized while building the games packages for release via Cydia that using the gameid simply won’t work 100% of the time.

The problem is some gameid’s contain spaces, hyphens, underscores, and a mix of lower and uppercase characters. And even Manomio doesn’t use the actual gameid in all of their releases.

All the testing is done, I was distracted along the way with a few other projects but plan on focusing on getting all the game images up for the C64 Emulator. I’ll post the link for the repo as soon as I update it with a few packages.

I will worry about the graphical looks of the repo later, as well as a final name.

I simply had to create a new post for this because of how great this news is.

The latest version of the Commodore 64 Emulator (C64.app) for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch
supports UNLIMITED CUSTOM GAMES!

I will create a GamePack installer tonight for this version and will have all the details up soon.

Part 1
I finally got around to checking out v1.2.24 of the Commodore 64 Emulator (C64.app) for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch (I’m doing this as I type in fact), and while I already mentioned that you can still play custom games, I didn’t go much further into detail. This will be a multi-part post involving the exploration, discovery and exploitation of the latest release (1.2.24).

LET THE FUN CONTINUE!

I just updated to 1.2 and used the gamepack to install some custom games, and it works just like in 1.1.11.
The only noticeable change to me was the Joystick is now on the Left Side! Yay!

More updates on this version soon!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

[UPDATE:]
I also just noticed some changes in the settings.
Screenshots etc to follow…

Special Thanks to Ajeje for creating a pkg for Cydia and getting it hosted with BeYouriPhone.

I will of course be releasing an updated pkg myself via the BigBoss Repo soon, and hopefully the GameLoader as well, which I will be working on in these next few days.

This is an Update to Build 2 of the GamePack I released earlier.

The games are the same, however I have added additional error checking.
The install script will now search for the “install” file in “/usr/bin/” if the file exists the script will continue. If it cannot find the required file, it will copy the install file included with this GamePack and the set the correct permissions before continuing with the install.
(No Wifi is required, as I opted out of using apt-get as originally planed.)

You can download the new build below:

This is an Update to Build 1 of the GamePack I released earlier.

The games are the same, however I have corrected some errors in the README.txt
(Thanks Darren for pointing those out!) and I have added additional error checking
as well as cleaned up the install output.

Darren also pointed out that there was a _MACOSX folder in the GamePack directory
and another GamePack directory under the GamePack directory, how ever the duplicated
folder was caused by the extraction software and method of extraction. So now instead
of the files being in a folder called GamePack, you will need to extract them to a folder
named “GamePack” (Case sensitive) the same as the zip file “GamePack.zip”.
