agreed. I'll still choose the PSP for handheld games, and a phone with physical buttons. Touch controls just don't make me feel like anything is happening or working.]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/
yes, i checked that some games are customized and optimized for work with the iphone interface. But emulated games are as-is, for example, it is a lot hard to play Super Mario World using the iphone interface.

I was going to say, I agree about RPG's on touch-phones. I've been playing classic games (via emulation) for a number of years now on various phones, and while some genres work better than others, classic games like Final Fantasy IV and VI seem like they were almost destined to exist on a portable device with a touch-screen. I can't figure out why Square-Enix hasn't figured this out (at least in America).]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/Jan 20th 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/
Platformers work great too. It's really up to the developer, Gameloft nails it every time.]]>Jan 20th 2010 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/
Now this is just a thought...but what if they put on-screen keys for the control? Meaning the Snes emulator would put an on-screen D-pad on the left side of the screen, and A,B,X, Y buttons on the right side. That would make it feel more like you were holding an Snes controller, though there would still be the problem of not being able to feel the buttons.

Or maybe it's time someone make a phone case that has standard controller buttons :)]]>Jan 20th 2010 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/Jan 21st 2010 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/
Got an ipod touch 3g, but i somewhat frustrated with fps controls. They are playable, but there's some things that suck.

Look around and most of the right side of the screen is your thumb.

And say theres 2 enemies few meters apart. Try keeping a steady stream on both while not wasting bullets.]]>Jan 21st 2010 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/Jan 20th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/

Huge on the iphone, compared to what? WinMo / Sybian?]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://brainstormtech.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2009/03/31/wireds-guide-to-iphone-piracy/
Also my younger brother bought his iphone jailbroke it and downloaded pirated apps in a matter of 10 minutes. If you ask the kid what a registry is tho he is completely lost.]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/
They will.

If you pirate the app, you only get one built in game.

The rest have to be bought using the in app purchase system, which oddly enough won't work if you are jailbroken due to a certain file being patched that makes the iphone think its in "sandbox" mode.

Regardless, the pirates will figure out a way to add your own ROMS like they did with the Commodore 64 emulator app.]]>Jan 20th 2010 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/sega-ultimate-genesis-collection-bringing-official-genesis-emula/
