Being an Android user is great for a few reasons, not the least of all is the bevvy of capable emulators for the
device. Everything upto and including the Dreamcast has been emulated on Android and most of them run great. No unlocking, rooting or similar procedures need to be taken for me to play
Punch-Out!! on my
phone.
iOS users, on the other hand, aren't so lucky.
Emulators aren't allowed on the App store, so if you want to run one on your iPhone or
iPad, you have to jailbreak it. That will give you
access to a good number of emulators, but now there is an easier way, for gamers wanting to relive the
NES days anyway.
Webn.es is a web based
NES emulator that can be used with any iPhone or Android
phone (oddly enough, it didn't see my Nexus 7 as a "
mobile device").
Simply link the site with your Dropbox account full of
NES ROMS and you can play to your hearts content. Some of the
games lag a little bit, but it still manages to play the majority of
NES ROMS just fine.
Oh, and of course, Gizchina does not condone any illegal activity that may be associated with this web emulator, you should only download and play ROMS that you legally own.
