PS1 emulator almost done!

Are you serious? You do realize people aren't swinging their Wii-motes at their phones right? We're just using bluetooth to use the Wii-mote as a hand held D-pad......I'm doing it right now with my phone sitting not more than 4 inches in front of me....I don't get your complaint?

Totally agree that it's awesome. I travel a lot and I like to play the occasional game in my hotel. I would prefer to play on a big screen but I'll take what I can get.

I really do not see why people are so excited to use a Wii remote with the N1.

That means you have to set the n1 up to act like a TV and stand back from it. The screen is way to small in my opinion for that kind of use. Plus you have to carry around a wii remote also... Portability is completely out the window.

When there is that much trouble you got to ask yourself, is this useful? Yes it can be done, but why?

The last "great" emulation experience I've had on a smart phone was with my old Tilt. The specs on it were just powerful enough to run SNES emulators without any problems, it had a great d-pad for games, and you could map the keyboard's keys to act as button. Without all 3 of these things I have found emulators to be completely pointless.

It would be nice but it's doubtful. The amount of work required to get it working on the PC via bluetooth is pretty crazy but we can always hope

Of course I know you are not using it for its accelerometer abilities.

I'm my opinion I think the N1 has to small of a screen to use it as a monitor.



This maybe the one time I consider it useful, but still you are staring at a 3.7 in screen.

Lets repeat that 1 more time, you are using a 3.7 in screen as a monitor... I stand by my orginal statement.

What you're forgetting is scale. 4 inches from your face, your 3.7 inch screen is probably as good as your 17 inch monitor at work 24 inches from your face, and your 32-55+ inch screens at home at 5-6+ feet from your face...

What counts is resolution, and the nexus has enough of it.

OK then, I understand your complaint now but don't agree with it.

I grew up in the day and age where Gameboy was the device to have for on the go gaming so I'm not one to complain about my phone's screen size when it comes to doing something the phone wasn't designed to do...emulate nintendo games

I will say this however, having played with the wii-mote on my sexy nexy at least 20 times now I don't see the screen size as being an issue, but that's also because I'm being realistic and realizing that I'm playing games on my phone
