iPhone users have it all. Fancy touch screen, the admiration of all their friends, and now the ability to play old NES games anywhere they go without the 8-bit cartridge, well…almost.
Gizmodo played Marble Madness and Zelda on an iPhone NES emulator with somewhat promising results. They had no problems loading and installing games but the touch screen controller is far from playable. Regardless, this is a very good sign that NES games may arrive on your iPhone in the near future, through some hacking of course. Here’s the breakdown of their results:
The Good
• It’s a great start. Not perfect, that’s for sure, but I am not surprised because this is just a first hacked version.
• Emulator and games install just fine.The Bad
• It’s slower than a western villain’s horse. Really slow for any kind of real gaming action, not even something as relatively relaxed as Zelda.
• Like we said, it doesn’t have sound.
• The controls need more work. Right now, it’s not playable.
