yea i have it installed on my newton but i cant seem to get the games ( once converted ) to transfer to my newton. i dont know if a am converting them wrong. or if its a error with the program running on the PC to connect the newton.

Does this work with an eMate?

Does this work with an eMate? i would guess so |

it runs a bit slow on a MP 2000/2100, so i would think that using it on a emate would be awful slow, but worth a shot.
there is a video on the site showing the newtendo playing on a newton MP 2000/2100 and it does have a few issues.

I honestly can't see how this thing would even be remotely playable without the Newton keyboard. That and the speed's a joke.

it could get faster if it was still being developed. i dunno about it now. the project is prolly dead now

Anyone tried it with the 220 mhz processor accelerator?

i dunno. you should try ( if you have a upgrade)

You guys do realize this is illegal, right? Read Nintendo's site...they do not permit any emulation of consoles except their own Wii Virtual Console.

It's far from illegal.
Ok, well not far, but no, it's not illegal. Obviously the DL and trade of roms is another matter.
A message on Nintendo's site doesn't define law.

if you have the game in original form nothing says you cant have a copy of it, if you don't have the game in original form then that is where it gets into a gray area.
emulators are not illegal, its more the games that is the questionable matter, but it depends what the situation is.
its almost like those mod chips for consoles, the chip alone wasn't illegal to sell without the software on it. it was illegal when the software was sold with the chip or the site that sold you the chip provided a download link, with the software installed it was a different matter. that is why you had to hunt down the software yourself.
Newtendo is just like the mod chips, they provide no illegal downloads and is up to you to find rom's

I wish they'd do an Atari 2600 one. I asked on NewtonTalk but no one was interested.

2600 on the Newton would be fun. Someone should port the C code and see how much it would suck initially. 😀 That would be funny.

C? On the 2600? I thought most of the code would have been assembler

The emulators themselves are not illegal, since they violate NO copyright. Think about it-- you can make a "knock-off" product, we see them every day from the Chinese, and not violate copyright laws. The code of the emulators is copyright the authors, NOT Nintendo.
What is probably illegal, though, is owning ROMs without having the source cartridge. Therefore, YOU do not own the program code on the ROM cart/file. Nintendo does.

There are "homebrew" games legal available.
Most of them for 2600 because that system is most challenging.
A 2600 emulator may run fast on Newton OS if properly recoded but may
look very different in grayscale and input is a bit difficult.
NES emulation may require a good optimizing compiler even
for the 2100 and perhaps some assembler coding.Things like a SNES
seem not very possible to emulate,because the ROMS need to load somewhere in your RAM.A 16bit Palm OS device may be better to emulate
because the Newton is similar but much faster and has a bigger screen.

Not to mention who cares if its legal? Nobody is going to find out. Its not like the everyday beat cop cares and an FBI agent isn't going to stop and check your newton, not to mention most of us had these games in cartridge form when we were kids.
