The tool the tech world has been talking about this week is called evasi0n, and it’s pretty simple. Jailbreaking tools have come a long way since I did it three years ago or so. Getting Started: Jailbreaking With Evasi0n Just remember, if you’re doing this to your phone, as of a few days ago it’s kind of illegal, but whatever. Hopefully by sharing my resources and explaining what I did I can help you out in case you’re even lazier than me, and perhaps feel like I’m contributing a little Karma to the web in some tiny way. So, I did some quick research, found plenty of other people who had figured out the hard stuff already, and now I have a jailbroken iPad Mini loaded with ROMs that I can pair with a Wiimote. But now I have a second iOS device that isn’t a phone and when I started thinking about playing Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and NES games on it, I got a little giddy. I don’t much like the idea of messing with my phone when it’s the device that I need to be able to use to call 911 and order pizzas and such. Until I realized I could play retro games on my new iPad Mini, that is. I toyed around with Jailbreaking a few years ago when I had an old-school iPhone 3G, but since then iOS has improved so much I haven’t felt the need.
When news broke about iOS 6 being jailbroken yesterday, I didn’t pay much attention to the headlines.

If you’re wondering what kind of car to get, which dog breed would be best for your tiny apartment, or what the worst Land Before Time Movie is (actual search query that led someone here), chances are at least a bzillion people have wrote about their experiences online.
If there’s one thing the Internet is great for, it’s benefiting from other people’s hard work.
