iPhone Games - NES Emulator

[blakespot]

The GP2X features a 200MHz ARM9-based CPU (a dual-core unit, actually, but one core (due to its lack of an MMU) is mostly unused on the platform) and has a great many emulators available for it.

​

The better emulators feature CPU emulation code done in ARM assembly language. I know there are 68000 and Z80 emulators in ARM asm, maybe 6502 as well. Whatever the case, this unit does an excellent job of emulating most consoles out there. There's even a Playstation emulator that functions (slowly). More in the works all the time.

The 620MHz Xscale in the iPhone is far more powerful than (but compatible with) what lies at the heart of the GP2X. But, of course, the GP2X is an open, Linux-based console, making ports to it more easily done than for the iPhone. Perhaps some of the GP2X folks will lend a hand in iPhone emulation.

is there ever gonna be a way to get this on without "hacking" your phone? I really wanna try this out but dont feel comfy hacking my phone after just getting it and potentially messing stuff up.

Any SNES or Sega Genesis emulators on the way?

At some point Apple will allow 3rd party apps, until then if you want it you have to hack it.

i finally got SSH properly installed and got all of this working! it's great! and the easiest way to install the NES emulator is by installing the install.app on your iphone and just using that to install it/upgrade it.

quite nice! and a lot of fun!

Is this possible / easy to do if you really don't have any knowledge of what SSH is? I can't seem to find a guide anywhere to tell me how to do this, and I really have no idea what a lot of these things are, but I can figure out if there is a deep guide out there somewhere. Can someone point one in my direction? Thanks so much..

Where can you get the NES Roms from?

Also, how can I make Roms from games I already own?
