NES Emulator running on WP7!

Now getting funded through RocketHub! http://www.rockethub.com/projects/1871-wp7-nes-emulator

Update: got a version running (no inputs yet) at full speed on a real phone!

My biggest hurdle will be how users will get the ROM files onto the phone in an accessible place.

This will be an open source project as both My NES and SharpNES have source licenses I wish to respect. I am going to try and release this on the WP7 Marketplace as a free game, but I will accept donations ;)

Are you using the codeplex version?

You should download vNESLight from the marketplace.

If I can't get some funding for this project it will stay in it's current state.

Apple removed the NES emulator from the app store as quickly as it was posted. I do not think Microsoft is being more strict here, just protecting their legal behinds from Nintendo. Anyway, I would love to see this in the marketplace.

@razorhawk9 the emulator itself should be legal. The main problem is getting the ROMs for it to run.

I wrote an SNES emulator in C# years ago back in college. Ocasionally I'll bust it out and port it to a new platform (XNA, etc). I got it running under the WP7 emulator but performance sucks, its a pain to developer unlock WP7 phones, and there's not really a practical way to distribute it, so I don't really have any motivation to spend time working on it.

[mattbettcher]

@digitaldud - any way I could get the source for that? I'd love to see if it's possible to somehow write a high level emulator for the SNES. And if I get the web service ROM download thing figured out it would be viable.
