you know its april the 1st right andre :D
-
Really ?? ;D

Just wrote them an e-mail to make it in Real. We are about to finish Mame for jailbroken iPads, so that would take off the legal problems for them.

After one year I got one !
I ordered one... $99,- with tax and shipping it was EUR 119,-

Nice, but I prefer the initial design :P
-
fun fact. this was a 1 April joke but the demand became so high that thy started making them.
-
Nice, but I prefer the initial design :P
i do also prefer the initial aswell. this year , thinkgeek imagine an apple store playmobil set , i'm sure there's demand for that ^^
-
Too bad there is no Mame for iPad, and BT only supports 4 simultaneous keypresses. An Android tab would have been better for this with easier app install and USB input device support.
-
You can now jailbreak ipad 2 and MAME is possible:

Damn, it's very difficult to resist to the iPad attraction after that video, but I will be strong, and keep my money for another brand, I have lost all of my trust with Apple since my maaaaaaany iPhone problems.
-
I'm waiting for the EEEpad Transformer 3G. Guess there's MAME for that too, and at least it comes with a keyboard.

I Jailbreaked my iPad and now 2500 Arcade-Games are available ..
Yes .. it communicates via Bluetooth but it works perfect ..
I tested several things with the "iMame4all" App coder and now you can use the result of his work and my tests.
I like those useless things ..
You all can have a look at the Eurocade ..

Yes .. it communicates via Bluetooth but it works perfect ..
How many simultaneous keys does it handle? Apple's normal BT keyboard only does 4.
-
hm.. I've never checked ..
But we can do all tests you want !
-
I was stupid enough to upgrade to 4.3.5 so now I can't jailbrake until iOS5. O well, can't take long ;)
-
And what about this one? ::) :arrow:

Now that looks like from the Future!!! ;D

I had the chance to play the iCade at the Eurocade. It sucked big time (for me) because there was so much lag that I could already grab my beer bottle again after firing a shot in Galaga and seing the shot on the screen. Unplayable for me. This is a gadget for people who are not used to play the original stuff (or a good mame cab of course). If you want the arcade experience this is not the right thing. I'd go for a small setup with LCD screen and Atom board in a simular shell. all in all less expensive than the iPad and this iCade thing. Just my oppinion of course.

Hahaaaaa, and with this post you are officially BUSTED PunkRockCaveman!!!
The rules were no drinks near the games!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Near the real games ... this was just an iPad, c'mon ... ;D
-
Point taken ;D
-

Ahum, right next to my rare PAL Atari 800 ! :) ;D ;D
Mmmm, I thought Galaga was always like that... ;D ;D ;D
but....what is the cause, the hardware or the software ? The iPad is definitely powerful enough to emulate at full speed.
That Atari thing looks nice. Is is really an Atari product ?
-
I guess it's because of the bluetooth connection. They should have given Apple the money for the license to develop a real keyboard. :wink:
-
Ah, I thought it had a connector.
-
I think the connector is made for the power source of the docking station, and the communication is made by the "nearly" bluetooth of Apple.
-
Correct ... the connector is just for power.
-
And what about this one? ::) :arrow:
Hope it is better controlled over BT than apple's keyboard. That one only does 4 simultaneous presses. Don't know if that is a BT restriction, or an Apple KB restriction.
4 keys with 8 actionbuttons is too little. You can't move in full action then.
-
I was stupid enough to upgrade to 4.3.5 so now I can't jailbrake until iOS5. O well, can't take long ;)
.. 4.3.5 can be jailbreaked ... as I know .. or am I wrong ?
-
Not by using jailbreakme.com or any other way. The jailbreak "developers" are waiting for iOS5 now....

Nut using this damn website but using Redsnow .. Look here :

-
Nothing wrong with that website as far as I've heard...
But uhhmmm, please READ what the page you link to says:
iPad 2 is obviously not supported.
Why that is obvious I don't know...but it's not...
-
What about a tethered or non-tethered jailbreak ??
What about the other JB's ?? Greenlime, Blacksnow, bla bla bla Yellowsnow :lol:
And what ever ?? There MUST be a JB ...
iOS will never be save ..(maybe yes .. it's a Linux derivate)
-
Haven't dived that deep yet...I'll just wait until they break iOS5 I guess...
I don't like to hack too much...no time :P
-
It doesn't really matter .. if the hack is not working at all, you can restore your iDevice using iTunes every time.
