A hacker by the name of 'stepwhite' has successfully integrated the infoNES core with Apple's iPhone. You can watch the video here! According to the folks at 'The Unofficial Apple Weblog' the emulator is still in development. Apparently it runs to slowly and the control implementation needs work.

shoman24vMy T-Mobile Dash plays NES games smooth with a 200MHz CPU. The iPhone has like a 624MHz CPU correct?

yup.
Idk the specs, but the iPhone is powerful. But since the operating systems are different the emulator is not the same. Also the architecture is probably different which would also mean a differently designed emulator. There's more to emulation than just cpu power. ;)

yeah, you forgot to factor in the amount of pirates in there, and the number of internets too.

my 2.59ghz PC could have issues playing NES games if the emulator was CRAP wait till some ppl actually start working on the emulator and watch them add a PSP emu to it play that on your 200mhz DASH

not an IPHONE owner but stop dissing it b/c its made by APPLE sure its expensive but so was the 1st PC wait for IPHONE 2.0 and such and the price will drop
