Hey chinkster01,

I am also seeing this problem.
Don't know what is going on.
Summerboard has disappeared too.
I guess we can just wait for it to be fixed or if you really need NES, you can download it from the official site here:

http://www.zdziarski.com/projects/nesapp/

Get the tar ball and it has NES.app directory inside. Then use WinSCP to copy to the /Applications directory.

The only thing is there will be no Uninstall option under Installer.

yeah, i did that and it installed. the only problem i had with that is that when i opened the nes.app on the springboard, it directed me to a white screen, then nothing happened, and closed. i have no clue what's going on.

Forgot to mention that you have to make NES executable, i.e. change permission to 755.

The latest installer wasn't working, which is why I guess they pulled it for now.

You need to reboot your phone before it shows up.
Actually NES is back on Installer again.

NES is really hard to use.. it's a nice feature but a little twitchy..

Has anyone gotten 1.12.0 working? I still can't get the latest version to work.

I found the answer to my own question. Apparently, this new version seems to choke at the amount of games I have in my ROM. It bounces back to the iPhone home screen before reading everything. The older version had no problems reading all of them.
