I've stumbled upon an O2 and C64 emulator for Pocket PC (see www.c64.com). They're not free but they're reasonably priced.

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody knew of any other emulators out there? I can see one past request that wasn't answered but I'm wondering if anything new has come up since then (Jan).

Here’s a couple

I’ve tried the PocketGenesis and was disappointed with it. The main problem I ran into was that you couldn't use the "d" pad and buttons simultaneously which was a problem when playing Sonic 1. Visually the game looked great and setup was easy.

Hmm...I wonder how that Lynx emulator runs. Looks cool.

I found a VCS Emulator!

Haven't tried it yet. The funny part was that I was in our boardroom, in a meeting, doing a quick search for an emulator that would allow us to show Pocket PC programs using our light pro (for demonstrations). Google turned up this little link, which I of course had to 'verify' didn't have what we wanted. :)

EDIT 1 (v.55 Tried).

I'm an idiot, as I installed v55 instead of 1.0. At first I wasn't sure how useful it would be - in order to use the fire button I had to depress the direction stick down, which makes playing anything other than Ms Pac-Man impossible (imagine playing VCS games on a DualShock and you had to push down on the Analog stick to fire while using it as a directional stick). But my PocketPC has a slider on the left that I can depress and that works obviously much better.

Tonight I'll install v1.0 and have a go at it. v55 was *way* too fast and it doesn't configure much so I don't think I can slow it down. v1.0 looks to fix that problem (and I'll edit this post again after checking that out).

EDIT 2 (v1.0 Tried)
It's not working well for me. For instance, right now, the game won't play unless I hold down my 'fire' button. I'm going to play around with more of the settings (there is a *lot* more here compared to v.55) but right now I"m thinking of going back to .55 - it's that frustrating.
