TheMadJester - there's an NES emu app for Droid???
Oh my...I may just have to pick this bad boy up!
How does it work though?..is there a 'touchscreen' control pad or do
you play using the qwerty keyboard/d-pad?

yeah. the NES emulator works flawlessly. i'm still having some minor issues with the SNES and Game Boy emulators, but you can still play games.

you use the qwerty and it's great. you can assign whatever buttons you want to use. the only difficult thing for me is that on a real nintendo controller the d-pad is the left and the buttons are on the right. on the droid the d-pad is on the right and the buttons are on the left. it screws with my brain. so far that's the only hiccup, but that doesn't have anything to do with the app. it's well worth the $$ if you like playing mario and zelda.

i have also downloaded and installed the AndAppStore browser from http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/!index

most of the apps i've seen are also available in the market, but there was one kick ass one i got called gTasks. it syncs your google tasks. it's pretty cool.

i will report back with other apps i find.

this app store was created in order to allow rooted android phones to access the apps because the android market would no longer be on the phone after rooting i guess. so you have to allow unknown source apps to install. i'll let you know if i run into problems like screw up my droid or something.

that's friggin awesome! is it the same PocketNester app?
I'm wondering if I can just copy over the PocketNester from my Q?
Will all the ROMs carry over and work too?

The ROM's will work however you may need a different emulator since android runs diff types of files.

Here is a listing of all the emulators there are in the link below.

he's right. you'll need to at least download one from the market. but the roms will work. i just created a folder on my sd card called "nintendoroms" then inside that i have separate folders for each emulator "nes", "snes", "gba".

i don't know about the free version, but apparently the full version supports the light gun.

The free version does support the light gun at least thats what it says:
"New:
* Fixed crash on Android 2.0
* Light gun support. Enjoy duck hunt and more!"

that is so sick!...thanks guys...hmm...I wonder if they're a Genesis emu on there too. SNES??...dang I couldn't even get that to work on my Q

so do the games play stretched in a wide mode or something?...or does the screen just cut off in the middle or?
