Play SNES on your jailbroken iPad, with an iPhone as controller (video)
Not every Apple addict is lucky enough to own an iPad, iPhone and the means to jailbreak both , but if you belong to that elite group you’re in for a treat: SNES HD for iPad. Built on ZodTTD’s existing iPhone emulator, the new code has Super Mario World looking positively fantastic at the iPad’s 768p.

If you don’t know the names yongzh and ZodTTD , you can certainly be forgiven, but they’re basically the cell phone emulation dream team — where the former has been cranking out high-quality Nintendo and Sega emulators for Android, the latter is the one who brought PSX to iPhone , iPhone 3GS and the Palm Pre . Today, we hear they’re collaborating on a PSX emulator for Android that’s running faster than the 3GS version — before Froyo’s even factored into the equation — and that when his domination over the PSX is complete, ZodTTD intends to begin work on an Nintendo 64 emulator for Android, and then VLC . Without letting our enthusiasm get the better of us, let’s just say it’s an exciting time to be an Android owner, to say the least.
GP2X gaming handheld modded with D-pad, PSP batteries (video)
These days, it’s the Pandora making waves in the world of handheld emulation, but GamePark’s GP2X could arguably be credited with starting the whole phenomenon. John Grayson recently decided that the original simply wasn’t keeping up with the times, however, and decided to swap out a joystick for a more traditional D-pad. Moreover, he yanked those weak AA batteries and shoehorned a pair of PSP Li-ion cells in there instead, boosting his SNES play time to just over four hours on a full charge.
Wii Controller Demo gets active, Android and Wiimote handle Donkey Kong on video
We knew the Wii Controller Demo app (now known as “Wii Controller IME”) was close to being able to interact with Android in a meaningful way, but we certainly didn’t expect to see Average Joes playing Donkey Kong on their Nexus One devices this soon.
Windows 95 on iPad completes the Bill Gates vision (video)
Ok, ok, it’s just Windows 95 running in an x86 emulator according to its creator. But even with such clumsy performance you know you love seeing it. Party like its 1995 without the Aqua Net after the break.
