Gechlik | AskTheAdmin.com on August 8, 2007 – 2:07 pm -We heard about the NES emulator yesterday for the iPhone and ran to retrieve one of my execs “toys” to umm update it… Yeah that’s right Update it.

You can download and run the app today and the source will shortly be rolled into the official SVN. iPhone NES: the game for big hearts and small thumbs.
Thanks to Bricolage and NerveGas [Tuaw]Update: The NES App has been getting updates all day. To keep on top of the updates, check out Nate True’s iPhone archive, which is where new updates will appear.
