Lets look at how you can play some calssic Nintendo Games on your Iphone or Itouch.
The process you have to perform in order to accomplish this is called jailbreaking. This term has been given to this process and effectively means you are allowing your Iphone or Itouch to run unathorised code. Such code is not authorised to be run by Apple and they have stated that this does void the warranty of the device. However you can easily restore your device back to original (un jailbroken) status through Itunes.
The reason we are even talking about the Iphone and the meaning of jailbreaking is because devices which have had this operation done can run Nintendo emulators and mean users can play some classic Nintendo games among other things. That equals good times.
Walking through the Jailbreaking process:
What will you need?
Jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch
SNES4 iPhone SNES Emulator
TotalCommander software
T-PoT.0.2.zip
Squid
SNES Roms
To jailbrake your iPhone or iTouch you will need a PC or MAC along with the current upto date software used to do this. Connect you device to your computer and run the software to achieve this. The latest software for you device version can be found on wiki, here. Once you have found the title of the software just Google it to find a download. Below are the steps for TotalCommander.

Click Add and find the T-PoT.0.2 folder and select the T-PoT.wfx file, click Ok

This shows all of the files on your iPhone / iPod Touch we will use this software to transfer files to your device

In the right column locate the folder called applications

People who can remember Donkey Kong on the SNES have probably grown up with the gaming revolution and this game probably holds many different memories for many different people. The general aim was to jump the barrels being tossed at you by some huge ape.
Donkey Kong Country was the first incarnation of this timeless classic which was unleashed in the mid nineties. It was arguably ahead of its time in the gaming world with both the visual aspect of the game and the controls. The main consoles that reviled each other in those days were the Nintendo, (from the original NES to be followed by the Super Nintendo (SNES)), Sega, who had the master system and then Mega Drive and also the PC gamers. Donkey Kong helped Nintendo conquer this revelry.
From the early stages of dodging the barrel throwing ape, Donkey Kong evolved into a game that meant completing various stages to recover the haul of bananas that had been stolen. The player had a number of lives which could be added to by collecting all the bananas from each level and being awarded one life per 100 bananas. This is the same process later seen with the hugely popular Nintendo game series, Mario where coins are the bananas replacement. Nintendo also bought in another dimension by allowing players to choose between 2 characters. The original Donkey Kong or his younger brother, Diddy Kong.
The overall success of this game was wide and helped make Nintendo into the main console gaming giant you see today with various incarnations of this game appearing throughout the years.
