This quick guide will explain how to install MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator) onto your Jailbroken iPhone

Ok, before we begin, you need to check that you have the following configured:-

  • iPhone (Jailbroken) with Cydia installed
  • A PC (or Mac) with a SFTP (SSH Secure FTP) client (FileZilla is a nice ‘free’ client)
  • A copy of the ROMs you want to play
  • A fair idea of how to use Cydia, SFTP, SSH etc…

Step 1.

Install Mame4iPhone, simply search on Cydia for ‘Mame’ (from the ZodTTD repository) and it will be the 2nd or 3rd item down the list.

Step 2.

Install “WhatIP” from Cydia (this app will tell you what IP address your iPhone is using)

Step 3.

Go back to the iPhone home screen, and tap on the WhatIP icon. You should see something like this:-

WhatIP

Step 4.

SFTP into your iPhone – The default username / password is “root” and “alpine”  [As a side note, its a good idea to change this!]

Place the ROM’s into the following folder: /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/MAME/roms

Step 5.

Play !!!!
