NBA Jam on iPad?

I've looked everywhere on the Internet and could not find anything but the iPhone versions looks and plays pretty good

 

Just wait a month or two. The same thing happened to UMK3.

 

loved that game back in the day, but I'm going to hold off until a iPad version comes out. My eyes will thank me later, I know it.

 

I purchased the iPhone version and played it on my iPad, not bad, so if it does go on sale I would recommend picking it up. It is a little pixelated, but pretty good versus other iPhone apps on the iPad.

 

Jailbreak w/ greenp0ison then install the cydia app "retinapad" it'll force the ipad to run the game at retina resolution (960xsomething) instead of doubling the regular size iphone screen (when you have to 2x it).

 

The results using retinapad are absolutely stunning. I'm actually quite angry that Apple has not adopted this yet.

 

Hmmm I may have to plunk the cash down now.

 

Thank you!!!

Spamcan, Thank you, just did the JB, which I was hesitant. DL the retinapad and I have a whole new love for iPhone games on the iPad! NBA Jam is AWESOME with the retinapad! Worth every penny and makes me want to play my older games! Thanks again for the suggestion!

 

Broeken, I would suggest doing the same, your iPhone games will have new life, just a suggestion. I'm glad I did it!

 

Don't forget real racing 2
If you're getting sick of waiting for the inevitable ipad release

 

You're welcome, I figure the more people that see side by side what iPhone games should look like on the iPad versus Apple's method of downsizing the game to 320x240 and then doubling it the better. I've been taking screen shots of games running under retinapad and under Apple's method for comparison and the improvement in NBA Jam and Real Racing 2 has to be seen to be believed.

 

Wow! This changes everything! Thanks for the info.

 

100% agree!!!

Yup, I played them both and Mortal Kombat is quite good. Another one that blew me away is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Simply AMAZING!. Spend $3 for the Cydia app, save money on purchasing another iPad game.

 

I just want to throw another thanks into the pile for Spamcan. After seeing that image I went and jailbroke immediately. It does wonders for Dead Rising as well.

 

Sometimes the iPad versions are actually worth the money (GTACW & PvZ) but if Apple would have implemented this in 4.2 like they should have the entire iPad "HD" gaming market would not exist today. Sorry for hijacking this post and turning it into a soapbox but this is one of the few iDevice related issues that makes me really angry.

 

Wow, thanks for the retinapad advice! I jail broke my iPad just for this and it's amazing! NBA Jam is so much better as well as Real Racing 2 and Battlefield. I need to fin some more of my iPhone apps and try them out now.

Thank you!

 

MicroByte,
You will be surprised on what other iPhone apps look really good.

 

I am scared to jailbreak because I love the convenience of the app store. If I jailbreak and download this app, can I un-jailbreak? Will I lose the retina app on my iPad if I reverse? I just don't want to keep this jailbroken....
