iPhone NES: Fast, usable, totally rewritten

So what happens when someone releases a functional but extremely slow NES emulator? Two of the finest iPhone hackers spend all night re-writing the thing to make it blazing fast and include multi-touch support. Behold the optimized NES App created by NerveGas with help from NightWatch/Patrick Walton. You can download and run the app today and the source will shortly be rolled into the official SVN. iPhone NES: the game for big hearts and small thumbs.

Thanks to Bricolage and NerveGas

Update: The NES App has been getting updates all day. To keep on top of the updates, check out Nate True's iPhone archive, which is where new updates will appear.

I already have a phone so I couldn't care less about unlocking. Bring on the software.

Most iPhone owners couldn't care less about an unlocked phone. NES emulation is of course, quite sweet. Contra baby!

I placed the app in the /Applications folder and I placed the ROMs in the /var/root/Media/ROMs/NES folder and nothing happens.

Should I have an icon on the main screen?
