I'm looking to get a Moto Q, and there are a few java-based NES emu's out there... however, performance is generally not terribly good. I was hoping that Jnes might work on WM, anyone have any experience with this? Or other recommendations? :smurf:

It should work. It works on my piece-of-junk mobile. And on my friend's semi-piece-of-junk mobile. Really, it does!

JNES will NOT work on Windows Mobile.

The JNES software is built for the x86 platform.

Windows Mobile typically uses the ARM platform. (Intel-based processors.)

Unless someone can port JNES from the x86 platform to the ARM platform...

It will not work.

If you want an emulator for the Windows Mobile platform...there are NES emulators and even SNES emulators for the ARM platform out there. You just have to find them.

A great place to start is HERE:

Here is a direct link to the page you'll need for NES emulators for Windows Mobile (Pocket PC):

I personally had PocketNES working out pretty well. Mapping the keys can be kind of a pain in the ass on some pocket PC's, though. I had a Dell Axim X3.

I thought he ment on that Java NES emulator, that I had on my mobile... Well, it's name had something with NES (oh wonder).
