I am looking for assistance in finding a palm emulator for Nintendo games. Does anyone know where I can find a full version?

Yup, tried google and zophar. Can only find a demo version but no full versions. Any other suggestions.

If there exists a demo version, there probably exists a full version too. Have you considered buying?

yes. Looking into it as I type but was also looking to try first. Demo doesnt let you play any real games. 40kb or less. That's no fun and can't tell if it is worth buying. Does anyone own the full version so I can try it than buy it.

Yeah, I can't find any either. I was going to suggest "stacking" emulators on top of one another (running an emu for another operating system or console, then an NES emu for that OS/console)...but from what I've read, it seems the Palm just doesn't have the processing power to even run some of the "middle ages" systems (SNES, Genesis, and the like). So I imagine two emus running at the same time would make even NES games unplayably slow... So the only two options I could see are to either part with your time or money...that is, either buy NesEm (hoping the emulation is decent quality...you're right, only running small/early games doesn't seem to be a good compatibility testing method), or program your own emulator (maybe someone else has given it a try and has their current source code lying around somewhere on the net, or has made an NES emu for another system that could potentially be ported to the Palm...although I did a search on sourceforge.net but couldn't find anything there either). Sorry we couldn't be of much help to you... :/
