Amazing work.

But the buttons... I tried touch buttons in my IPAQ (SNES emulator) and it was just not useable. Maybe here...

What really sends my palm to my forehead is that people will gladly pay $600 for a cellphone with a TOUCHSCREEN ZOMGZ than a multimedia-and-gaming system that's currently cheaper than other media players in its class.

The kicker is that the camera actually had a dpad and was fairly playable. Ever since then, "playing X on Y" just isn't impressive.

You need to unlock the phone with jailbreak, and depending on your flavor of desktop, either use a 3rd party conduit, or a damned DOS BOX on a PC to move files around.

Until you can drag and drop these applets into iTunes to install them, I wouldn't bother trying, because you run the risk of borking your phone, losing functionality, creating a little annoyance when syncing, and losing it anyway come the next firmware upgrade...

That's just the tip of the iceberg of "HELP ME OH GOD PLEASE!" posts on the blog sites that detail the instructions for modding your iPhone and transferring non iTune compliant files to it.

@yashichi8bit: It has no viruses, it's stable, it runs Microsoft Office, it runs all Unix-y stuff, it has a ton of great apps that have no equal on any other platform (iMovie, iDVD, Garage Band, Delicious Library, BBEdit, Mailsmith...), and if I want to, I can run Windows apps right among my Mac apps. They even get Mac-only stuff like Exposé, so I actually prefer running Windows apps on my Mac to running them on a plain Windows box. Oh, and it has a consistent UI.

Look, if you people seriously can't see that the iPhone or the Mac have advantages, you're stupid biased fanboys. Plain and simple.

It's a toaster? hmm... can it play NES roms?
It's a pace maker that has a lifetime of 500 active years and... we've be able to play super mario bros. on it.

Anyway, of course the emulator is going to be slow. This is the starting version (a good start), after all. After some time, the speed will improve and maybe even the controls will be become satisfactory.

By definition a PC is a personal computer so that would refer to any computer running windows, linux, osX, etc.. So what is up with all those Apple ads dissin the PC. THE MAC IS A PC.

Speaking of shit, for those of you who aren't here to just shit on the thread, this is good news (okay, that was tangental at best, but seriously guys - if you don't like the phone, then don't buy one, but don't just fuck up a thread talking about how much you hate it). I was wondering if I'd be able to do homebrew stuff on my iPhone, and it looks like I can. This is nothing more than a test build - there could be a near-perfect NES emulator down the line.

Its pretty ironic.. hack an xbox and your called a thief.

but look @ those nice hackers tinkering with the iphone...

Still, it's always fun to see these types of mods, even if they are of questionable value.

Fangeh

Correction: any smart phone > iShit

I think the implication that you can get from seeing this as opposed to some solitaire game is that the iPhone hackers are in fairly good control of the innards of the device now.

I used to play NES and SNES games on my PocketPC before I bricked it. I actually beat E.V.O. and Secret of Mana on a PocketPC, haha. But the interface was waaaaay better. You held the PocketPC sideways and would use the D-pad as a D-pad and then you would use on screen buttons. It wasn't perfect but at least you could move and run at the same time.

of course, I do not own an iphone or plan on getting one. My PSP plays "homebrew" just fine, thankee.

Anyways, that's but a 1/3 speed mockery of NES goodness. Fail!

Latest and greatest...hah, I'll stick my trusty motorola clamshell.

It's the same deal with posts about prominent games, particularly Halo. Do you want a fucking medal for pointing out how little you care about something?

Seems way too slow to be usable, might be a debug build? (didn't read the hands on...)

The controller interface is neat, but I don't know...just visit one of those web emulator sites instead.
