Pocket Pc's are great for NES emulators

Get pocket Nester and maybe a game gear emulator at zophar.net . And I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty of your own homebrew roms.. erm.. ya
Download.com used to have plenty of cool freeware stuff too! Theres a version of SimCity 2000 floating around, and Age of Empires too, just rather hard to find. Mostly, I use my pocket pc for movies and stuff. great for traveling

i am not sure what this piece of hardware is capable of .. maybe someone could explain what he/she is doing with it ?

i think i could load up some ebooks to have some literature to look up when i run into a problem

I've got a PocketPC (iPaq H2210) and it's pretty good at gaming ; the main problem is the tiny joystick which is absolutely unusable in action games...
Besides, I'm a programmer (for a living) and I developped a small but nice (IMHO) puzzle game, called Pocket Griddler.
It's free, of course, and it's at http://griddler.dyndns.org
There's also a windows version, for those not having a PocketPC...

PS : use the latest (at the moment 1.1.4 beta) version !

I have a 2210 as well. The thing will run an SNES emulator, but it really doesn't have enough buttons to play the games without hassle. NES is another story. I use pocketNES for that one. I also got Simcity 2000 off of a P2P *cough* er Best Buy down the road. It's pretty cool, even with the small screen.

This site has even more stuff on it.

Pocket Quake!!

http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/

I had this on my PocketPC. Reminds me when I played Q1 on my 400mhz PC

Controls are not a problem. Althought I had to reconfig them each time I played. I was too lazy to rewrite the .cfg myself.

I tried to get pocket quake to work a few months ago; perhaps another attempt is in order.
