Funny enough I was looking at that last night on WiiMame (Homebrew) thinking it was a shame that the controls didnt seem to work as I used to be a multi-million scoring player :)
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

I've converted all my Zzap!64 scans into .cbr format so I can read them in Cloud Reader on the iPad. What a fantastically geeky abuse of technology :)

Interesting, automated job or onerous drawn-out manual task!

I've got a DVD full of SU scans that'd be nice to have available on the iPad :-)

Yeah mine is from the Zzap!64 DVD. I RAR'd each issue up manually (although there's no doubt an easier way) and then did a quick batch rename. Tedious but it didn't take that long and it's a far better way to browse the issues than desktop, laptop etc.

Fantastic!

Pity video still needs some work.

I may hold off. it's surely got to get into Cydia pretty quickly?

Or I may dump everything I'm doing currently...

Having trouble finding a download for the frash.deb file that I'm prepared to trust.

Apparently this is a leaked release and not really ready for public consumption.

Verdict. Wait.

Very little works. Wasn't expecting sound or vision to work on the BBC, so wasn't too disappointed they failed, but it was a challenge to even find flash banners that worked.

www.homestarrunner.com that engadet shows off does work pretty well though.

Be careful installing this frash as it screws up your embedded YouTube on sites like this one.

Anyone found any removal instructions?
