How to connect to your Iphone file system:
Step 1.
Download Installer.app and or unlock your iphone:
Article on how to unlock iphone is here: http://www.coderetard.com/2008/05/23/unlock-iphone-steps-using-ziphone-with-pics/
Step 2.
Open the Installer
With Installer.app alone you can install games, more programs, etc. =] But for ringtones and ROMs for games continue on..
Step 3.
Using Installer.app install the following Applications to your iPhone:
Launcher
OpenSSH
BSD Subsystem
Mobile Finder (Select version depending on firmware version you have on your phone)
Step 4.
On your MAC computer (Not the Iphone)
Download CyberDuck FTP for free at the following link:
http://cyberduck.ch/
or you can use any other FTP program if you already have one.
On your PC, get an FTP program that can do SSH like my personal favorite FileZilla.
Step 5.
Get your iPhone’s IP address, go to:
Settings > Wi-Fi
Click the little Blue Arrow next to your wireless access point (default, linksys, etc.). For more information on finding the iPhone’s IP address, read our walkthrough complete with screenshots.
Step 6.
Connect your iPhone to your computer with the USB Cable.
Open up CyberDuck FTP, and go to Open Connection.
In the Protocol drop down menu, set it to SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer)
For IP, type in your phones IP Address.
For your username / pass use the following:
username: root
password: dottie
Versions 1.1.11 and later
username: root
password: alpine
Now press connect, and let it connect to your iPhone.
Step 7.
To install ringtones, go to the home directory by using the dropdown menu right below the Quick Connect bar. From there, go to:
Library > Ringtones
Now, just drag and drop your .mp3 or .m4a ringtones in there. =]
Step 8.
To install ROMs, you must create the following chain:
/var/root/Media/ROMs/NES
/var/root/Media is already there, you just need to create the /ROMS/NES portion. Just create new folders using CyberDuck FTP. Once you create those, just drop the ROMs in the NES folder, and restart your iPhone for good measure and you’re done!
It’s really simple, a lot more simple that doing everything in Terminal (in my opinion). Plus, you can just drag and drop.

has anyone run into the situation where these ROMs play slowly? Contra is not nearly as fun in slow motion :)
I think that the iPhone can only emulate so well, and until they write a cleaner emulator thats what you are kind of stuck with.
I follow these directions exactly on a 2G iphone, and they don’t work. What am I missing? Is it possible my iphone is not jailbroken? It certainly seems like it is.
You need to install the correct apps on your iPhone like it says in step 3.
what if you dont have a MAC comp ? can i still install ?
It doesn’t matter what platform you use to FTP to your iPhone, once you are accessing your iPhone through FTP you can upload NES roms through PC or Mac.
i just used Iphone around 2months,has anyone help me to explain in step 6 and 7?
i used filezilla but i don’t know how to do when we set the SFTP…
if you can,please print screen of the step for me.
Thanks for you kind
