They managed to port nintendo on the Newton!  Even the new pdas don\'t do that!

It\'s more a case of someone having time to port the apps than technical capability. The Zaurus has emulators for the NES, SNES, Gameboy, and VirtualBoy

Znester runs great on the sl-5xxx series.  It even runs Mike Tyson\'s Punchout flawlessly (a game that some emulators have a hard time getting right).

Still, thats pretty impressive that somebody managed to port an emulator to the Newton.
