iPhone MAME project gets off the ground, performance doesn't
Raise a cheer, Google coder extraordinaire "kaisersoze" has a little gaming treat in store for us all, MAME -- retro, we know, but we love old school gaming and so should you. Hot on the heels of games like Doom and an NES emulator, the Google Code "sdl-mame-project" will let iPhone gamers revisit all of their favorites from decades ago. Of course, every great story has a happy sad ending and, in this case, that story is there are no binaries yet -- but the source is there if you are inspired to compile it up. While Pacman and Q*Bert run well, performance is apparently weak in other titles, so we'll simply cross our fingers and hope for rockin' speeds from one of our favorites, Ghosts 'n Goblins.

Apple or emulators, make/recreate cool games like flOw!!! PS3's flOw game is awesome! and I can totally see the iPhone's with it's motion center can finger the movements like a cordless PS3 game.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: yawn. My touch is running SNES with 465 games, NES with over 600 games, Doom and Doom 2, etc, etc, etc
