The Apple iPhone is now a Nintendo Entertainment System - native NES emulator for iPhone
By Will Park on Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 at 2:32 pm PST In Announcements, Apple, Applications, Developer, Mac OS, iPhone
We now have natively installed iPhone gaming applications, exactly like we wanted! Google Code is hosting the iPhone NES emulation software, iPhoneNES. The application is not some web-app game that has been optimized for the iPhone - this is a native application brought to us by stepwhite. That means you don’t need a wireless connection to access some web-app, you can get your NES gaming fix in your mother’s basement underground bunker.
iPhone NES is based on the open-source InfoNES core and will only play NES ROMs formatted with an iNES header.
iPhone hacker extraordinaire NerveGas has optimized stepwhite’s software to run faster - the optimized version is also available for download through Google Code.
Download the applications at Google Code, or grab NerveGas’s optimized version here.

I can do the same thing on my Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 6630… Oh, and also on my $3 NES console. I’m sorry, but this is not very impressive. If they manage to get Playstation games to play, that’d be a different story.
