It didn’t take long… Accelerated NES emulation on the iPhone!
A few weeks back we witnessed its initial release from developer stepwhite, who creatively adapted the iPhone touch screen to act as a NES controller pad. Shortly after we saw a few improved binary builds hurrr and thurrr.
Now nervegas has taken it upon himself by completely rewriting and optimizing NES.app. There are plenty of new configurable preferences that are bound to get your NES freak on — frame skip, full screen, game genie support, sound, saved games, and more…

NES.app is based on the popular InfoNES emulation core; faithfully mimicking the 6502 CPU found in the Nintendo Entertainment System.

All I gotta say is, awesome! The first iPhone Nintendo emulator! Project owner, stepwhite, has managed to conquer NES emulation on the iPhone using InfoNES core — “A fast and portable NES emulator.” While in the early stages of development, the emulator port currently lacks sound (but who cares, listen to your own mp3s while playing 1942) and is a tad slow… Controls are somewhat iffy also… Nonetheless, the future looks quite promising. I soon sense smoothness… Smooth, smooth, smoothness…

I’ve received a few emails concerning installation; this is how I got it working:
