[GAMING] Emulators (GBA, NES & PSX) available for use on iPod Touch/iPhone
Posted by Jody Mitoma on January 14, 2008
I know this may be old news to some of you, and I am sorry to have to do this, however, this is actually a pretty big deal, and well, being a new blog and all, I haven’t yet had the chance to talk about it myself.
If you know everything you need to know about the emulators and roms available on the iPod Touch/iPhone, please, do feel free to skip this post completely, as you will most likely learn nothing new.

Emulators have been available for the iPod Touch/iPhone for a few months now, with the most recent being the release of the psx4iphone(PS1) emulator. Don’t let the name fool you – this emulator works on the iPod Touch as well, as do all the emulators listed below.
- The repo source is: markmon.mine.nu:90/iphone/repo/repo.plist (add this to installer.app)

Last but not least, the PS1 emulator (a.k.a. PSX4iPhone):

Note: Most roms for the psx4iphone emulator run at half speed, if not, slower. Personally, I find this emulator quite useless for iPod Touch/iPhone users. If you want to play PS1 emulators, buy yourself a Sony PSP! Reasons for this are because the PSP actually has an embeded graphics processor, whereas the iPod Touch/iPhones do not.

The GBA Emulator doesn’t exist anymore through Cydia.
Could someone please create another one or put that one on cydia or something?
Thanks

Actually the iPod touch and iPhone both have dedicated graphics proccessors… just the PSP is actually optimised to play PS1 games
