I cant see that happening in a hurry, but I would love it if someone did...

In the words of a well known BeOS fanatic:

Take a section of the world, computers, a smaller section, Emulation on
computers, and an even smaller section, PDAs, and a micro smaller section,
Newtons! You are left with a pretty miniscule %.

I sometimes envy the convenience of nasty popular platforms, which always
happen to have that piece of software which fits the need of that obscure
task you want to perform....

Cheers,
James.

Subject: [NTLK] Emulators for Newton

I was messing with my friends iPaq yesterday and he had an 8-bit NES
emulator running on it that was totally cool. It got me thinking, is
there any emulator like that for the Newt? A gameboy emulator would be
totally cool and the Newt shouldn't have any trouble running it; the iPaq
ran the NES at 8 times the speed of the original NES and it's only 30 mhz
faster than the Newton. Anyone know of anything like that or would anyone
be able to write one? Visions of hours of Final Fantasy Legend on the
Gameboy are back coming to me...
