N64 Emulator For Jailbroken iPhones On The Way?

TUAW link

“ZodTDD, the developer behind GpSPhone (a Nintendo Gameboy Advance emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch), announced the development of an N64 emulator for the iPhone and iPod touch. Zodttd believes that the current generation iPhone and iPod touch have the graphic CPU horsepower necessary to run those games. “…I can’t promise it will run games top notch just yet, as things are too early to say. There’s hope though, with a 3D accelerated graphics plugin, as well as an ARM dynarec.”

Now, I’m quite skeptical about it. I was a beta tester of the PSP emulator years ago (when I was following the PSP homebrew scene, God blesses Pspupdates) and it never worked, let’s face it. Could an iPhone emulator do better?

I doubt it.
