Top Gun

anzollo — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:20:05 +0000

You watched the movie, you played the game on your NES and you bought the soundtrack, now is the time to relive the classic days of Maverick and Iceman, but as yourself. The game gives you 10 full, action packed levels while you fly the top of the line F-22 Raptor on your missions. This game makes all other attempts at Top Gun seem silly. Top Gun delivers with acti0n, songs such as Danger Zone and the Top Gun Anthem and spot on controls that make this a must have for any iPhone or iPod Touch gamer.

Myst

anzollo — Tue, 05 May 2009 06:48:12 +0000

Cyan brings this classic puzzle solving visual adventure in all of its original cd-rom glory to your iPhone or iPod Touch. The full experience is here and molded perfectly into your touchscreen. The visuals remain vivid and beautiful and the controls are spot on. The game is dated however and we deter slightly for its replayability. Overall this is an excellent choice for anyone who loves a good problem-solving adventure. If you have played or remember playing the original on your Mac, PC or a number of consoles it came to, then the value for what you get will leave you with hours of enjoyment.

Doodle Jump

Doodle Jump is a simple yet addictive game that has wasted much of my time and I am sure will do the same for you. The beauty of the game is in its simplicity with the object being to jump up as high as you can from platform to platform while avoiding objects. Be sure to pick this one up if you want a simple, addictive game on the go.

Enable Tethering In iPhone 3.0 Firmware

anzollo — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 01:39:06 +0000

After almost 2 years of waiting for tethering it is finally here in the 3.0 software. It is not something completely obvious to do, but can be enabled with a little bit of knowledge, which should not be too hard if you have the Dev kit already anyway. Crunchgear has posted a step-by-step guide on how to enable the tethering and also a few pictures of it in action. See the instuctions below.

Step 1: Check if you own a 3G iPhone. If you’re on EDGE (as I am): sorry. Tethering does not seem to work with EDGE phones.

Step 2: Check to see if AT&T is your carrier. If it is: sorry. AT&T will not let you tether.

Step 3: Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support. Notice the spaces in that last folder name! If you’re at the command line, use backslashes to escape the spaces, i.e. cd ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support. You will find a file with an ipcc extension. Copy that file: e.g. cp foo.ipcc foo.ipcc.original. This creates a backup for when you mess up.

Step 4: rename the ipcc extension to zip. For me that was ATT_US.ipcc renamed to ATT_US.zip. (Did I mention how I’m on a 1st Gen iPhone with AT&T?). Unzip it. This creates a new folder called Payload.

Step 5: Navigate into Payload and then into the folder under that. Mine was called ATT_US.bundle. Yours will differ. Inside that folder you will find three files that you will edit: Info.plist, version.plist, and carrier.plist. Open all three in the Property List Editor that comes with the dev tools on a Mac.

Step 6: In Info.plist, change the CFBundleVersion to 5.0. Save.

Step 7: In the version.plist, change the CFBundleVersion to 5.0. Save.

Step 8: In carrier.plist do the following and then save:
(a) Add a new dictionary to the apns array:
apn = internet
password = password
username = iphone
(b) In the wap dictionary (mine is wap.cingular, sts’s was wap.dol.ie), add a new pair. Do not edit the password or username:
type-mask = (NUMBER) -2
(c) Add a new pair at the top level dictionary of the carrier.plist file. (We’re not sure this is strictly speaking necessary but go ahead and do it.):
AllowEDGEEditing = (BOOLEAN) YES

Step 9: Zip up the Payload folder in which you just made your edits. Rename it to the same name as the original ipcc file. (For me that was ATT_US.ipcc).

Step 10: Connect your iPhone to iTunes.

Step 11: In the Summary tab, option-click “Check for Update”. Navigate to your ipcc file, select it. It takes no more than a second or two to update.

Step 12: Reboot your iPhone.

Step 13: In prefs (on the phone) navigate to Settings > General > Network.

Step 14: Let me know how this worked for you.
