First of all you going to need to Jailbreak you iPod Touch/iPhone.
You can do this by going to You must login or register to view this content. on your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad and its straight forward from then on.
A review of JailBreakMe.com by the user You must login or register to view this content. : You must login or register to view this content.

Now that you have your Apple Device Jailbroken, go into "Cydia" then on the bottom of the screen go to "Manage" then press "Sources" and in the top right click "Edit" then on the top left "Add" should appear.
When the box comes up to add a source, Add the source

Now for me Cydia didn't update automatically so I couldn't find it but that was because my internet timed out, If it happens to you add another source and let the other source update Cydia.

After Cydia updates go to "Search" and search NES 3 Cracked.

Download that and let it install. To my belief that cracked version comes with 2 ROMs but I'll now show how to get more.

For the next step your going to need the following things
You must login or register to view this content.- This is for Windows
OpenSSH- Search this in Cydia and Download and install it.You won't be able to see this but it is on your device.
You must login or register to view this content.

First you'll need to get some ROMs.
Get the roms you want You must login or register to view this content.
Unzip the files using WinRar/7Zip/WinZip
Put all the .nes files into one folder.

Download and install WinSCP.
To connect to your Apple Device use these settings.
"This is in the Session tab"
Put the IP of the Apple Device into Host Name. (You can find this by going into Settings>WiFi>Click the arrow thing beside the name of the WiFi your connected to and it will be there)
root into User Name
alpine into Password
Leave the rest.

"This is in the Connection tab"
For Server response timeout put the number higher than 15 I have mine on 90 I think.
Then on the bottom of WinSCP click Save so you don't have to do all that again and then click Login.
You must login or register to view this content.

Now you should have two sides in WinSCP.
The left is your computer and the right is your iPod.
On the right use this Directory "/private/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES"
And if there aren't the folders ROMs and NES there, make your own by going into Media, then right click then go to new then click Directory... Name it "ROMs" (Case sensitive) and in the folder ROMs create a new Directory and name it "NES" (Case sensitive).
When in the NES folder go to the left and open your folder with your .nes files. Select your .nes files and drag them into your iPods NES Folder. When you exit out of WinSCP you should have your new ROMs on NES 3.
*If the Directory above doesn't work try /private/var/root/Media and make the same folders..ROMs and NES.... /private/var/root/Media didn't work for me so I'm not sure about it.

If you have any questions I'd only be glad to answer them.
ENJOY YOUR NEW NES 3 AND ROMS!

And don't wear it out.
Good Post, personally two things I would change:

1) Find another Cydia source, sinful is barely still alive, and isn't being maintained as much.

2) Seeing as you're using Windows: Try iPhoneBrowser, it's great compared to SSH for operations like this (A lot simpler).

BTW, never seen that site for roms before, love it =D

1)I can't find anymore sources with NES 3 and it still works doesn't it :p.

2)I learned by using SSH and I am too lazy to learn how to use iPhoneBrowser :p.

1) Good point, I swear I've seen it somewhere but can't find it now Happy

2) iPhoneBrowser is just a folder-tree system. There's nothing to really learn!

I've tried a load of sources including the one in that video and none of them worked for me.
