NES Emulator for iPhone Emerges

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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.

    Emulation is no big deal. Why are the numerous PSP emulator releases never posted? /.'s Apple nuthuggery gets more visible by the day.

    Hey, it's early days yet! Figure out what buttons you want, how to arrange 'em, get
    the feedback perfect and then... attach a Bluetooth antenna. Your iPhone now has
    the controller of your dreams.

    Ain't standards wonderful?

    Obligatory rant: I've used nine-button mice (labeled with red/green/blue, circle/square/triangle,
    left/center/right). I've used five-button mice. I've used three button and trackwheel mice.
    I've used two-button mice, one-button mice, and at least one trackwheel system (Tektronix 4010)
    with no buttons at all. When I have a choice, though, I use a one-button mouse.

    If you need many buttons, you need a KEYBOARD.
