This tutorial will show you how to install and setup Pocket Nester Plus, a NES emulator for your Windows Mobile Smartphone.
- Yes you’ll want some ROM files (games) to actually play. Download a slew of them as a 40MB .cab file here, or the “50 Classics” as a 10MB .cab file here, or as individual games here.
- Now you’ll need to download Pocket Nester Plus. Transfer the file to your phone and select it. Click Install to begin the installation.
- Once completed, click Done. Don’t worry too much if you get an error about the software being developed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. It should work anyway (it did for me, using WM 6.0).
- Now launch Pocket Nester Plus from your Applications list. You’ll probably find it in the Games section.
- Click File and then Open ROM…
- Navigate to a ROM (.nes) file, select it and click Done.
- Before you start playing, there are a few things you might want to change/customize. Open the Options menu (which I was able to do by hitting the Z key on my phones QWERTY keyboard, but it may vary based on phone). Select Preferences from the Options menu.
- Place a check in the box labeled Associated .NES files. This will allow you to just click on a .nes (ROM) file and Pocket Nester Pro will launch and load that game.
- Again select the Options menu, this time select Controllers… Highlight and then click the … button next to A:. Now select the key on your phones keyboard that you want to use as the Nintendo controllers “A” button. Repeat this process to customize each button.
- And let the games begin!

Very nice… but I think offering the ROMs up like that is highly illegal. I believe your in Canada so I’m not sure if the law is different there. But anyway nice find.
Not able to get this working on my o2 atom life (windows 6.1). May be it wont work with qvga screen?. It quits the program as soon as i open any nes file.
It works fine on my htc ppc-6800 which is a qvga screen also. I’m useing windows moble 6 so there might be some problem with this program and wm 6.1 I’m not sure.
after a soft reset, the program is not crashing, but throws error when i try to open a nes file. Error is:
Can not open or Mappter not support
after google, if i set the Options -> Display -> Landscape Left, it works. Thanks. Now need to figure it out how to play with limited buttons (no keyboard on my model), thx

I have a blackjack ll, and when i save the file to my desktop, and then transfer it to my phone, when i go into my phone and try to see file in folder i created, nothing is there, then if i do a search, i see file but it does not let me download, i dont have that option… any help pleeasseeee!!
it all goes on my phone but it will not load any games it acts like it the game will load but then nothing at all
It worked amazingly well on my Motorola Q. No problems what so ever even though the games are actually harder to play on Windows Mobile rather than on the actual Nintendo. The sound and picture quality is unbeleiveably good. And it did not freeze at any point.
i did every thing like you said but it says cannot open or mappter not supported now what i can i do please help
I’ve got a problem. Installed this on my motorola q but it displays side ways and I cant find any option to rotate it correctly. Also, some of the games wont let me exit them! Please help.
also, its not reading the buttons that I input to use.
Nice emulator its work perfect on my MotoQ9H Thankssss!
muchas gracias era lo que queria. gracias
I have an iPhone clone (M88+) which is touch screen. The emulator works, I can open the ROMs but, I can’t play since my phone doesn’t have keys. How are the rest of users with touch screen phones doing? Is there another version (or even another emulator) that works with touch screen?
Any help is appreciated!

Thaks a lot for this great application all of those who made this possible. If somebody needs helps to set up the controls I ‘ll be happy to help. Just E-mail me. si necesitan ayuda solamente envienme un e-mail. gracias.
funciono de maravilla espero que suban mas emuladores, lo unico dificil, fue configurar as teclas, pero luego de intentar lo logre, muchas gracias.
On Moto Q …. Display option of emulator won’t allow either Landscape radio buttons to be selected. Uses Portrait only! Any suggestions guys ? Thanks
On “Display” Landscape left & Landscape Right seems to be disabled… Just Portrait is enabled… Any suggestions?
Fungerar dåligt på XPerian. Spelbilden ligger hoptryckt i ena hörnet av skärmen och hackar våldsamt. Man kan inte spela mer än några sekunder utan krasch. Pausar man emuleringen så zoomas dock spelbilden in av någon märklig anledning.
