How do you get direct feed videos of iPhone games?

i'm guessing either an app you pay for... or a free app for jailbroken devices

 

I think that comes with apple's premium developers package

 

oh wow

let's just say you'll pay a premium for it

 

Standard Program $99
Enterprise Program $299

Wtf. I thought that anyone can make a game without having to pay anything. If I have to pay 100$ to make and distribute a game, then I wont become a dev..

 

There isn't an app for that. Devs can use the iPhone simulator on a Mac and screen capture from that, but it isn't ideal (you don't have tilt control and it's a little different graphically). Otherwise we have to film with a video camera the same as everyone else.

There is an unsupported API that lets you output to an external screen, but it requires re-writing and doesn't run at full frame rate, so it's a lot of work to not show the game off properly. We suspect Apple marketing has 'special' iPods for demonstration and filming purposes and yes we are jealous of them

 

You can get the SDK and make a game for free. But to submit it on the app store will cost $99.

Unless you distribute the game for free, then I don't think you have to pay anything...

 

$100 is nothing compared to what you'll make back... even on a worthless app.

 

$100 is not a lot at all especially when compared to other platforms.

 

Sigh, I'm already going to spend about 500 dollars on a new mac(mainly for making iPhone games) Well, I guess I'll just sell some of my games.. Maybe my Xbox 360..?

 

Aw...dude...don't sell the 360. It's really the only console this gen which is absolutely worth owning.

And $500? Going the Mini route? Or are you buying 2nd hand?

 

shouldn't this actually be in the developers forum?


BTW I think he meant 5000
