Since the iPhone’s release, hackers everywhere seem to be slowly uncovering new ways to use Apple’s little gizmo. Now the homebrew community has spawned a functional emulator for NES games. The emulator runs off the InfoNES core and seems to be integrated into the device fairly well. Unfortunately, the games run somewhat slower than normal and can only be played using an image of a controller, which looks quite awkward. Hopefully we’ll see some revisions soon that address these problems.

Think they could do with some blast processing there
Looks good. I hope they find a way to speed it up.

The irony is that NES emulation doesn’t take much horsepower. I could run Nesticle on my 200mhz pentium pro over a decade ago.
I know the iPhone hardware can do it. The ARM cpu in it is no slouch. The problem is that it’s a kludge software hack. Keep hacking…
