Homebrew developer ZodTTD has finally released version 2.0.0 of his long-awaited Sega Genesis and Sega CD emulator, genesis4iphone. This version works with iPhones and iPod Touches running on firmware 2.x.x.
This release comes with the same skin as ZodTTD’s earlier release, mame4iphone, but the good news here’s that you can actually change the skin yourself by editing the controller_hs1.png/.txt files in the Application directory of the app. Here’s a list of what else is new in v2.0.0:
- A port of Notaz’s continued support of PicoDrive.
- New interface/GUI similar to mame4iphone.
- Sound has been heavily improved! To enable sound, goto Now Playing and turn up the volume slider before entering a game.
- Save say support is now working.
- Supports zipped ROMs, and they happen to load much faster than unzipped ROMs…still!
- Sega CD support is implemented though currently untested by me.
genesis4iphone can be downloaded for free at ZodTTD’s public repository on Cydia.

This update gives the Cydia installer a couple of graphics improvements along with a fix for a current app crash issue. The bugfixes also take care of the “Bad URL” error that shows up on certain sources as well as displaying custom html pages.
There’s also a new Sections tab and several new icons and badges that identify apps that make changes to your device’s system.
If you want to update, just fire up Cydia and check the Changes tab for the latest available version.

Here’s a useful new addition to the wealth of iPhone homebrew apps out there. iPhone Backgrounder is a code application that lets you run multiple iPhone apps at once. That means even if you exit, say, Pandora, you’ll still be able to listen to it while you’re running another application.
This is a code app, so there’s no icon for it. To use iPhone Backgrounder, open up the app you want to use and hold down the Home button until you get a pop-up saying “Backgrounding Enabled (Continue holding to force quit). If you want to disable it, just hold down the Home button again.
One thing: Backgrounder will be disabled if you respring your SpringBoard. Also, there’s a chance that an application would immediately quit after you hold down the Home button. According to developer gaizin, this might be caused by Intelliscreen’s App Launch Boost feature, which can be disabled in Intelliscreen’s Performance page.
The catch here’s that running multiple apps, even in background mode, can drain your iPhone’s battery faster than usual. It’ll also make you device run slower. If that doesn’t bother you one bit, check this app out. It’s available on Cydia for free.
