An enterprising soul has succeeded in making a number of highly popular visual novels/eroge work on the iPhone and iPod Touch, with such famous titles as Clannad, Air, Tsukihime, Higurashi, etc., all confirmed as working fully.
There is the prospect of more to follow, with games running on similar engines, such as Little Busters, likely to follow.
The process to getting them working looks to be quite involved, and differs for each title (and the instructions are in Japanese, strangely enough).
Those who try might like to share their findings on the wiki page I have prepared, which currently has a skeleton article, along with links to various key pages. More on the Sankaku Complex Wiki later…
The main source for such iPhone hacking information is the iPhone Wiki, so that should be your first port of call.
Those looking for something simpler may be better served by the previous eroge for the iPhone we saw, though admittedly it is far less satisfying…

What's this machine on the right of the sixth picture (the one with the dual depiction of two males)? Am I seeing things or does it say SHARP like in Sharp X68000?
that's a zaurus sl-c1000 or c3000.
That's definitely a Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000. Dammit. Now I'm going to have to figure out how they did that. :)
I need a new celphone...
so where can I get these?
I have Higurashi Demo on my First generation iPod Nano.
As with Pokemon Red, Emerald, Metroid and Doom.
Eroges in iPod Touch = "I Touch" (myself)??
Eroge/VN on the Go XDD
I'm gonna be arrested for this, but that girl behind the notebook is SO MOEEEEE
Heh. I tried my hand at trying to get Onscripter to work on the PSP, took awhile. I almost got to it, but the game would often crash and I decided to give up on it because of that. A pity I would have LOVED to play Tsukihime anywhere.
If I were to ever get an Iphone this would be my first plan.
Tsukihime works just fine on PSP now, you should give it another go. I've got through it twice, and it has never crashed on me so far.
i wonder how they ported it so quickly (well... it's been about one year since the first unofficial sdks cropped up). porting cocoa apps to cocoa touch isn't an easy task.
then again, the core of onscripter is written using sdl, and the first sdl port was around one month after the sdk or so. for scummvm, of course. :)
porting avg32 or kirikiri would be more trouble, i guess. the aforementioned games all use nscripter.
higurashi was a eroge?
well yeah, there was loli raep in it. the vn, anyways.
"highly popular visual novels/eroge"
I'm not surprised that was missed, considering the word right after to it. Textual Camouflage I call it, haha.
I call it being a noob and not reading something properly, maybe that's just me
the last guy had humor. you however do not.
Yu...Yuuno?
Does this require the iPhone to be jailbroken/warranty voided/etc in anyway?
Also, will the wiki be translated in anyway, or will the way of google translator work in it's place?
I really hope fan translation projects make patches that supplement these eroges for iPhones :)
Damn! They took my idea!!
will this work on an itouch?
"...work on the iPhone and iPod Touch," Dude learn how to read.
Tsukihime \o/
Now if I only had an iPhone...
what happened to Yunno???
oh God plz tell me its just a visual novel not eroge
Imagine "School Days" on Iphone...
