No jailbreak required, just put the ROMs in your Dropbox

A new NES emulator has emerged in the form of a web app which you can access from your iPhone’s browser and then load up any ROM to play on the spot.

According to those who’ve tried it, the tool works fine (albeit a little sluggish), and the sound can only be routed through the headphones.

All you need to do is just put your favorite .nes ROMs (uncompressed) in Dropbox, access webNES in your browser, hit the + (plus) button in the top right corner, load a ROM from Dropbox, and you’ll be good to go.

Best of all, the tool actually doesn’t require you to jailbreak your handset, and you really don’t have to install anything at all if you think about it.

Note that the law in many countries states that you need to own these games before downloading the ROMs from the web. Just thought I’d mention it.
