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.
