iPod / iPad game emulators

[HotelUser]

I've been seeing some SNES emulators floating around Cydia and I was wondering the best way anyone else copied roms onto their device.

I'm sure I could do it the nasty way plugging it into my machine and copying them over the ugly way but I was curious as to if anyone had perfected the technique of getting roms onto their iDevice!

I thought you just used SSH or something? I haven't done this stuff in ages but I remember you'd just connect wirelessly.

On the gameboy emulator that I use, there's a built in web browser to let you download roms straight into the app, is there not a feature like that on the SNES emulators?

Yes, you are correct there's such a browser on the emulators but unfortunately for me when I click download on a rom they don't seem to be working, its screen just goes white.

Have you got the safari download plugin installed?

Have you got the safari download plugin installed?

Yes, although I still get a blank safari page. Hmm, I am at a loss!

Download them on your computer and then transfer them over.

I've found an application called iFile, and in conjunction with the Safari download plugin Trinity's suggested I've managed to download and extract roms right from my iPad

There's an App available in Cydia which downloads and adds ROMS for you, but I forgot. Arghhh, do some searching, there is definitely an app for it.
