I do the same thing on PCs, and let me tell you, it's alot more expen$$ive. Nowadays, you can spend four digits on JUST THE VIDEO SUBSYSTEM. When my computer turns on, the lights dim.

I am currently hooked on, but have never finished BioShock, Quake4, and Doom3, and HL2:episode 1 and 2.

those are the classics, beat just hl 2 that was a great game....

First off, you'll need the Emulator. Here is a link to download the NES emulator on your Q along with the Mario Bros. ROM.

How to use:

1) unzip the Emulator and ROM to your desktop
2) connect your Q to Active Sync
3) explore your Q and navigate to your storage card (or device if you don't have a SD card)
4) copy the file "PocketNesterPlus.exe" to your SD card (I made a NES directory)
5) copy the Mario Bros. ROM "Mario Bros. Classic (E) [!].nes" to your SD card (I put this in a folder NES>MarioBros)
6) go to the File Explorer on your Q and navigate to the NES directory and click on the file "PocketNesterPlus"

This will launch the Emulator. Once it's running do the following.

1) click Options > Preferences and from here click "Associate .NES files" and click "ok"
2) click Options > Display and check the radio button for "Landscape Left" and click "ok"
3) click Options > Controllers and configure your controls. Highlight a box and then click the key you want for that function. The app will record that button. I used the D pad for movement and the A button for A, Q for B, S for Start and M for Menu. You can do whatever you like here. Note the D pad is reversed for some reason so it will take some playing around to get it right.
4) Now hit "File > Exit" and close the app.

You can't launch games from within the Emulator for some reason. To play a game, you must navigate to the .NES ROM file location and click on it. This will launch the Emulator and start the game.

I've yet to find a NES game that won't run on this puppy. Since we can attach files to posts here, I will zip up a few of my ROMs and attach them to other messages.

Enjoy!

Kewl, will try this out over the weekend
