News from Zodttd;

Hello all,

I missed you! Yes, it really has been over four months since we last spoke. But I’m back and ready to go!

So what have I been doing these past few months? Truthfully I’ve been trying to get outside more and enjoy the world. I spent nearly two years straight programming all day and night. It really ruined my social life. I took the time to find balance in my life. I didn’t post here for so long in hopes things calmed down. People were posting very nasty things, and I just couldn’t handle it at the time.

No worries though, as I have been working hard, in spurts, on many projects for not only the iPhone & iPod Touch, but the iPad as well! I made sure to fund comex with an iPad so he could work on the iPad jailbreak. I also have been keeping close tabs on geohot’s work. The good news is, we’re just in a waiting state. The jailbreaks are prepped to go. So whether it’s 3.1.3 on the iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 3.2 on the iPad, or 4.0 on the iPhone…it’s prepped.

This all has me very excited to bring my emulators on to the iPad. As you can see, I have released some videos of the iPhone versions of snes4iphone and n64iphone running on the iPad during the iPad’s release. They are available on my blip.tv video host here: http://zodttd.blip.tv. The WiiMote is already supported and tested to work on the jailbroken iPad as well! I’m working on iPad specific emulators that take advantage of the extra resolution to allow for better full screen controls that don’t get in the way of the action. I have friends such as westbaer ready to work on a general frontend/launcher for all my emulators. This can allow for easy updating of the user interface. I also want to add per game configurations.

I also am working on a few iPad specific App Store titles. I released OpenTTD for iPad which was a huge success, making the top 20 iPad games! But OpenTTD’s team sent a pull request to Apple and it was taken down nearly instantly. I will be making a post to see if I can get some support in getting it back up. Stay tuned for that.

In non-Apple related news, I have released Card Drop Deluxe on Intel’s AppUp store for netbooks. I am working on psx4pandora on the OpenPandora handheld. I might get a Nokia N900 to help support the port of my psx4all project’s port to that device. But most impressive of all is the 1300+ signatures received for me to support Android developments of VLC and some higher end emulators. It can be seen and supported here (http://www.petitiononline.com/ZodAndro) I’m working on getting a new Nexus One (as my previous one is on loan to a friend) so I can start developing on it.

As for this site, I plan to keep things very simple here. I will blog, and maintain a wiki for my projects. I really want to keep things friendly without the need to moderate much. So please be kind to others.

So I welcome you back with open arms and I’m glad to be back.

Thanks,
