Although, there are sites dedicated to legal homebrew -- you may certainly google that.

games like pokemon emerald is possible, You need only a b and arrow keys.
maybey this fantastic guy's(the maker's of rock box) can make a key bord work. it is also possible to get photo's from Your photo machine, you need only an plug for your ipod entree to an usb not like we plug in our computers but the gate where it going in(srry for bad english).

USB is not just a cable.  It needs one device to act as the host and one to act as the slave.  Not all devices are able to act as a host.  The PP502x does have the ability, but it is unsure if it is able to be accessed (there are a few accessories that suggest it is such as the accessory that allows you to plug your camera in) or how to use it as of right now.

I think the better question is will their ever be a NES emulator?

[scorche]

And the answer to that would be the typical answer of "if someone codes it, there will be".  I seriously doubt any of the current developers will take time off of making Rockbox more stable to program an NES emulator though.

I really don't understand why there is such a dire necessity for emulation on a digital audio player. A DAP is designed for music, not to act as a portable computer. Besides, I sincerely doubt the people who often push for these unnecessary plugins actually own the ROMs to the games they appear to be so urgent to play on their audio player. Even given benefit of the doubt, there is a significant misconception about emulation with respect to implementation.

It's not as easy as just coding an emulator; there's issues with stability, speed, and playability, and such a plugin is quite a challenge to maintain. With many known emulators, they have taken as many as several years before fully maturing, and generally operate with significantly more processing power than any audio player could hope to achieve.  

Remember guys, you're using a digital audio player, not a handheld video game system

The thing for me with Gameboy and NES is that the systems had a small number of buttons making the games very playable on a DAP, I enjoy being able to play games that I loved as a kid on a handheld. My PSP is kind of bulky to carry around all the time.

ipod linux has a nes emulator and even a gameboy advance emulator, it is open source, you can just copy te code and maybey debug it a bit so what is so hard about it? i dont care about if it is a bit slow. so try it out! 8-)

[elamre]

but i have play already it on rockbox

[LambdaCalculus]

So do you have any code to show us so we can try it out? Or have you submitted something to Flyspray?

[brarei200]

Yeah release show we can try it.

[elamre]

flyspray

See the "patches" link on the left? It's where you post patches to submit them for inclusion, or to share them so that other people can help improve them.
