Any ideas when a jailbreak might become available - weeks or months?

Want the honest answer? Potentially never. The iPad 2 is substantially more difficult to jailbreak than the iPad 1. The 4.3.3 jailbreak was only due to a slip up on Apple's part. You'll just need to keep your fingers crossed that someone finds a way to jailbreak the iPad 2 once iOS 5 comes out, but don't hold your breath.

Are you wanting to jailbreak for MAME? If so you might check my website where I have a non-jailbreak version of iMame4All. The catch is that you have to build it yourself using Xcode.

Don't forget that you also need to be part of the iOS developer program ($99/year) in order to compile to your own device.

Same on iPad and iPad 2.

Weird.

Version updated on the App Store (1.3.5) : With the fix for the audio being lost.

To enable iCade, General Settings, then Arcade ON.
Works best with iPad 2

Still doesn't work or me. Did the same old delete/reinstall routine and same bug, same results

Is this easy to do if your computer coding knowledge is limited to building rigs? Or in other words, virtually null?

Compiling is pretty straight forward. You just need to sign up as part of the iOS Developer Program to get the ability to compile to your iOS device.

I have tested Freeesh on my iPad 1, however only the joystick works, but none of the buttons do?
