There’s no lack of third-party gaming applications for the iPhone as it is - we have NES games , card games, puzzle games, and so on - and now we have PlayStation games. As expected , the psx4iPhone application has just been released through Installer.app, basically turning your iPhone into a PSP with touchscreen controls! The developer, zodtt, had previously kept their iPhone PlayStation emulator private - only accessible through a paid-beta program. Well, now us lay-folk can have at it. Fire up your Installer.app and find psx4iPhone. Install the emulator and you’re ready to start installing PlayStation ROM’s! Install the SSH client that is freely available through Installer.app and transfer (via SFTP - CyberDuck works great on Macs) your PS ROMs to the iPhone. Find your iPhone’s IP address by viewing the details of the WiFi connection (hit the little arrow to the right of the connection name). SFTP to your iPhone’s IP address and upload the ROM to the /var/root/Media/ROMs/PSX directory. That’s it, you’ll be up and running in no time. We have a feeling that a good number of productive hours are going to be spent playing PlayStation games on our iPhone. Oh well. Check the video below to see how psx4iPhone works.

Sprint Arcade - subscription gaming for mobile phones, seriously

announcements | applications | arcade | ea mobile | games | gaming | mobile | services | sprint | sprint arcade | subscription

Poor Sprint. They’re always getting the short-end of the wireless-market-stick as the No. 3 national carrier. Their CEO is gone . They just had their WiMAX aspirations knocked down a notch with the recent WiMAX 3G standardization . The whole WiMAX deal is still on the table . So, now Sprint’s trying to regain lost ground in their core business (you know, that little business of providing wireless service to customers) with a questionable new service - Sprint Arcade. Apparently, Sprint’s betting that a subscription-based model for mobile gaming is just what they need to spur subscriber growth. Sprint Arcade will serve up mobile games from EA Mobile to “most data-enabled Sprint phones” for a $9.99 per month fee. Gaming titles include Sudoku, Mini Golf, Mahjong, Hearts, Air Hockey, and Blue Blocks, with more games promised for future release. Will subscription-based mobile gaming catch a foothold? At the $9.99 price point, not a chance. We would pay a couple bucks a month (literally, we’d pay no more than $2 per month) for a subscription gaming service - but only as long as the game catalog is up to snuff. Sprint Arcade’s subscription model seems like a viable alternative to paying for each individual game - and should appeal to heavier gamers. But, $9.99 for Sprint Arcade basically seals its fate - which is to say, it’s doomed.
