I don’t really pay attention to smart phone’s that seem to come and go. Not that I am an Apple fan boy, but nothing compares to my iPhone. I can do video editing if I wanted, then still drop to shell and do a nmap scan, even use Metasploit. But then I saw this story on someone getting an NES emulator.

It’s not for the faint of heart, as it’ll require you to gain root access to your Pre followed by compiling FCEUltra and then tweaking a few display settings to get the games to run at 320×480 resolution. But if you’ve gotten your hands dirty before and you know your way around Linux, it’s a fairly straightforward five-step process. Actually, the fifth step is “Play your favorite games.” So that’s an easy one.

I now have a new found respect for the phone, but I doubt it is enough to ever think about getting rid of my precious iPhone. And yes, the iPhone does have an NES emulator.
