Look what we have here — a preview of 3G4, a N64
emulator developed by NWorksDev. Compatible with the iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 3G, this bad boy appears to be rendering down the graphics (as one would expect) but all in all it seems to be running pretty smoothly. Of course, this is a work in progress: the developer (who claims to be 14 years old) says that he has to overcome duplicate button registers, delayed presses, and some crashing — and he has yet to implement the L, R, and Z keys. That said, this thing is pretty sweet! Hit up the YouTube links for info on becoming a beta tester — but not before you see the thing in action after the break.

The elusive Pandora handheld and the Phantom gaming system have a lot in common. Thankfully, there’s one critical difference, and that’s the fact that the dutiful souls behind what’s sure to become the world’s next favorite pocket gizmo actually have some proof that mass production is tantalizingly near. The latest update has quite a few images of the final mold, and we’re also told that mass production has begun on the mainboards. All that’s left to do is add a touch of paint, snap a few things together and yell “Hello World!” for all the world to hear. Hit the read link if you’re badly in need of getting some drool out of your system.
[Thanks, Andrew]

It’s not quite as sleek as
some homebrew-minded handhelds, or as full-featured as some
others, but anything that hearkens back to the days when videos games were measured in bits gets a few points in our book, and this new Neo Slim 3000 looks to have things well covered on that front. While complete details are still a bit light, this one is said to pack a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 display, 2GB of built-in memory, an SD card slot for expansion, a full range of PMP features and, most importantly, support for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy Advance emulation right out of the box — with other options presumably also available depending on the device’s capabilities. Still no word on a price just yet, but the folks at Neoflash say this one is “coming soon.”
[Thanks, Craig]

The OpenPandora kids have dropped us a line to say that
yes,
finally, “after a lot of serious tweaking,” it looks like Pandora is ready to roll. And as an added bonus, they’ve given us a little demonstration of the open source game platform rocking a Dreamcast emulator. Not that you’ll be able to play
The House of The Dead 2 flawlessly on the thing — apparently the CPU suffers from some sort of floating point unit problem and a great many texture / blending modes are not supported. So don’t abandon that
Dreamcast Tablet just yet. As far as getting your hands on the handheld yourself, here’s the skinny: of the four thousand devices in the initial lot, there are about a hundred units unspoken for and still available for
pre-order. Priced at $330 each, if you’re interested you’d better jump now — there won’t be another batch until 2010. In the meantime, you can see that Dreamcast emulator we told you about in action after the break.
[Thanks, Devon]
