New videos of PlayStation and Game Boy Advance emulators running on iPhone 3GS hardware look pretty impressive. There's no jailbreak yet, but when it happens, you'll have a pretty nice pocket GBA on your hands as an iPhone 3GS owner running emulator gpSPhone. How impressive? Try over 200 frames per second clocked while running Pokemon Emerald, even with sound on. See it for yourself in the cracked out demonstration video after the jump.
Only slightly less impressive is the video of Final Fantasy VII running on the psx4iphone emulator. It looks to run nicely and at a decent frame rate, though no sound is included. Zodttd says that the emulator runs "very speedy" on the 3GS, though the emulation is still rough around the edges. Impressive. Get this going. I would love to have some portable RPG action on the go.
Check out both videos after the jump.

also PSP, DS.
give me buttons or give me death
It's odd this should pop up as for the first time (IRL) I got to see a jailbreak-ed iPhone/Touch (not sure which). It was my friend in my games design class, he was playing Spyro the Dragon 2 :)
also PSP, DS.
give me buttons or give me death"
and
"while its good to know that the iphone can do that, i have no use for it, since my psp and wii can run gba games, and the psp runs ps1 stuff."
Both of you are right.. but.. seriously.. do you take your Wii or even your PSP with you everywhere? Because I take my phone everywhere.
But you just got your monthly Atlus fix on the DS!
Also PSN store. I prefer playing this with real buttons on the PSP.
iPhone recognizes multiple touches at once.
Get a PSP or a DSi or something. You're a gamer not an Abercrombie & Fitch collar popped faggot!
A lot of people on this site have iphones if you havent noticed, including the ones who run everything. I'd prolly watch you're language the next time you have ignorant un-enlightened garbage come out of your mouth.
