Pocket Nester - NES Emulation
Looking for some retro gaming action? Then check out Pocket Nester - I've never been a huge fan of retro gaming because it always seemed that the emulators were buggy, didn't map the controls properly, etc. Pocket Nester is very slick - I was playing Rampage in no time! This is by far the best NES emulator I've tried, so if you want to take a trip down memory lane, check this out.

Has anyone tried this? Is it better than PocketNES? PocketNES seems like the best one so far.

The discussion board on PocketGamer is quite lively with comparisons, but general consesnsus is this is a VERY good emu, and possibly better than PocketNES, especially with overall speed on many games. Indeed, there are some games (Ice Hockey, PunchOUT! [which supposedly doesn't run well either on this Pocket Nester]) that just lag behind, but this seems to bring some things up to a more even playing field.

I've tried both and Pocket Nester kills it in speed. The games play at their original juicy framerates... It's a beautiful thing.

Believe me, it beats PokeNES. Anything beats PokeNES. The real question is, does it beat YAME? Well, I'm keeping both but I'm truly rooting for PocketNester.

Out of curiosity, Rirath, why do you call it PokeNES instead of PocketNES?

I'm using my pocketop keyboard and the pocket PC e310 is in portrait mode in on the stand. I can use the button mapper under options to set a key on the keyboard to controls. This way, I don't have to suffer from not being able to hit two hardware buttons at a time =^_^=;;
It's still neat to play NES games on the e310 like a gameboy, though.

That's actually the name of it. Take a look at your screen next time you fire it up.

where do you get the software to run with the emulator? Does it have to be a special version of the game to run with this emulator or do all of the emulators run the same games?
