Finally, Pokemon on iPhone

                A few days ago, on Monday, February 4^th, a Jailbreaking team called Evad3rs developed my much coveted untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.  Their website is www.evasi0n.com, for anyone interested.  I planned to wait a few days to make sure they can make any tweaks before I Jailbreak, monitoring CNET to get all the updates.  Between its release on the 4^th until two days ago, the 8^th, Evad3rs reported that 7 million users had used their new Jailbreak.  Anyway, I held out until yesterday, the 9^th, and it was pretty easy to actually Jailbreak the phone.  I just plugged in my iPhone, went to the website, downloaded the software, and followed the instructions.  The whole process took maybe five minutes.  Afterwards, I had Cydia, and everything seemed totally fine. 

                As my primary, if not my only, reason for Jailbreaking was for the ability to play Gameboy Pokemon games on my phone, I immediately searched the internet for how to do this.  This process proved to be MUCH more difficult, particularly because I was interested in a fake game called Pokemon Chaos Black.  It was created by hackers who got into the code for Pokemon Fire Red, and changed a few things to make it more interesting.  First, I had to get a GBA emulator, and the most well-known and well-regarded seemed to be gpSPhone, so I downloaded it.  The toughest thing was that I now needed to find ROMs, which are the actual games that I wanted to play.  Basically, I had the game system, but I needed the games to play.

                Since I was dead set on Chaos Black, I looked all around for it, and couldn’t find a legitimate provider.  All the people on the internet said to use a source called 123Locker, but their ROMs lead to a HTTP 404 Error, meaning that they have been removed, blocked, or just somehow don’t work anymore.  Today, I finally just broke down and downloaded Fire Red to see if that would even work, and I used a different ROM-providing website and got it to work.  Now, I can successfully play Pokemon Fire Red on my iPhone.  Basically, my desire to play Pokemon on my phone has been fulfilled.  However, what I still really want is Pokemon Chaos Black because that’s the only game that I want to play that I can’t obtain any other way.  I will probably just keep trying, and I’ll blog about it if I ever get it to work.
