[GAMING] Emulators (GBA, NES & PSX) available for use on iPod Touch/iPhone

Posted by Jody Mitoma on January 14, 2008

iPod Touch NES EmulatorI 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.

Lets begin with the NES emulator (a.k.a. iPhone NES):

Now lets move on to the GBA emulator (a.k.a. GpSPhone):

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.

    Thanks

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