NES Emulator for iPhone Emerges 111

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday August 07, 2007 @11:40AM from the from-the-depths-of-the-lake dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The first emulator for iPhone, iPhoneNES has been released. It run very slow, and has no sound, but hacker NerveGas has managed to modify the source to release an optimized version that is playable. " My favorite bit is that your controller is a clickable picture of the NES controller. Not exactly the ideal UI but still an amazing accomplishment.

How do you install it on the iPhone. Or is this an Ajax app?

Emulation on the PSP, at this point, is a given. Anything up to and including the PS1/N64 is pretty much emulated... The importance of this would probably be that it's the first emulator on the platform or whatnot.... still not the world's best story, but hey.

Seems like a good idea but I can't imagine trying to play NES with that small of a controller. I think it would be strange on a touch screen. Button mashers sure would be fun though.

The iPhone has bluetooth, maybe it will be possible to use a separate fold-out bluetooth keyboard for things like this and the terminal emulator.
