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.

    I can do the same thing on my Nokia 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. :)
