temper4iPhone emulates Turbografx-16 on the iPhone

Filed under: Gaming, Software, Freeware, Developer, iPhone

The guys at Touch Arcade are at it again — that moment, ZodTTD has ported temper, a TurboGrafx-16 emulator, to the iPhone, and as you can see above, that means something amazing: Bonk on the touchscreen. Sounds like the audio has a few little glitches, but seems like the controls and graphics are working as well as could be asked — even in the slower Landscape mode (with the controls overlaid on the graphics), he says it was pulling about 50FPS.

There’s even an emulator for the TurboGrafx-16 CD

PC Engine, as lengthy as you do a little tweaking (and nab the bios from somewhere that may or may not be legal — same for the ROMs). temper4iPhone is still in beta, and just like all of these other emulators and jailbreak apps, we have no clue at all whether we’ll ever get the chance to see them on the (rapidly approaching) App Store. Still, it’s awesome to see — we’ve definitely come a towering way from the NES emulator way back when.
