Got a Pre? Like Nintendo? If you fit in the overlapping intersection of that particular Venn diagram, then have I got some good news for you. Some enterprising individuals over at the Pre Dev Wiki have gotten a NES emulator up and running on the Palm Pre.
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.

Wow, this beats my attempt at getting NES/SNES/Genesis emulation on the Pre by running Little John through Classic.
Only NES games would not cause a bluescreen (in classic not throughout the entire Pre), there was no sound, and the keyboard buttons didn’t work, making playing the games impossible.
While we’re on the subject of emulation on phones, I wish people would continue to work on the NES and SNES emulators for Windows Mobile too, many were abandoned years ago and flat out don’t run anymore on newer WinMo phones like my Att Fuze, shame, the PS1 emulator ran surprisingly well for being in it’s early stages :(
an not a
NES…the starting letter is N, which is a consonant. All words starting with a consonant should be headed with A, not An, so stop being an annoying troll and go back to the darkest, deepest pits of idiocy of which you came. This is the internet, we don’t have to spell write, you teacherfag.
Well, when said “En-Eee-Ess” it needs “an” because its the sound of a vowel.
Asshat.
unless it’s pronounced “Ness” then it’s a, dimwit..
Is there anyway to compile this using OS X?
