So if your worried it might be illegal to talk about on here do you think Apple will allow an emulator to be released in their store?

I don't think anyone cares about the legality of emulators on various pieces of hardware. I'd like to see how well the emulators work, ideally you'd need one of those bluetooth gamepads to make playing any console game actually enjoyable ...

I guess the illegal part is talking more about the roms than the emulators..

I doubt they'll be allowed. If you wanna play NES though you can Jailbreak your iPhone. It isn't very enjoyable though.

Well as soon as there's an SMS/SNES one made, I might well have to Jailbreak it :\ considering that there's a gaming pad in the works.. yikes, that'd just be nothing short of awesome.

I really want a GBC emulator, If my 4G iPod Photo could run one very, very well, I don't see why iPhone can't :P.

This is an interesting concept as a workaround around the lack of tactile response and haptics on the iphone for arcade game controls.
