Nintendo’s says it will investigate possible copyright infringement in Nokia’s N900 smartphone after a Nokia blog post showcased the device playing retro games through the use of an emulator application. According to Edge, the video (which is no longer available) featured someone playing Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3, and also showed off buttons that supposedly opened emulators for Nintendo’s Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, NES and SNES.
Nintendo UK PR manager Robert Saunders told Edge the company was unaware of the smartphone’s emulation feature and stated that Nintendo would take “rigorous steps” to protect its intellectual property. “Our legal team will examine this to determine if any infringement has taken place,” Saunders added. Even if the feature ends up on the cutting room floor, we imagine some crafty hackers are already taking steps to get emulation software working on the Nokia device. Just like they do with everything else.

Has your homebrew SNES masterpiece, Secret of Manilow, been trapped within your computer for a decade or so due to technological restraints? Time to dust off your old ROM file — the Quickdev16 SNES developer cartridge has all you need to get your brainchild up and running on Nintendo’s Super console. The cart includes an Atmel AVR ATmega644 with boot loader, a USB connection with which to upload a ROM, 16 megabits of SRAM, and an RS232 converter.
We’re assuming that if you possess the technical know-how to craft custom SNES games, then you probably know what all that stuff means. We’re also assuming that you’d be more inclined to pony up for the cart’s $120 price tag than we are. That’s just a tad too steep for an SNES cart — or rather, an SNES cart that isn’t a sealed, mint condition copy of Chrono Trigger.

Remember that Wii emulator that boosted the graphics up to 720p? Thanks to a recent update, Super Mario Galaxy is now playable on the emulator — known as Dolphin (get it?) — and we have to admit, it looks pretty gorgeous. Granted, Super Mario Galaxy was no graphical slouch in the first place, but the extra resomolutions certainly add to the overall experience, and it gives us an idea of what a Wii HD console would be capable of producing.
Check out a video of the Super Mario Galaxy running in HD after the break (don’t forget to turn on HD in the player). It’s in HD. Did we mention that yet?

We all know that emulation download sites are disease-riddled virtual cathouses, designed to inject your unassuming computer with any number of viruses, spywares and trojan horses — that’s why we can’t help but be intrigued by this recently unveiled USB adapter for SNES game cartridges, which was lovingly crafted by modder matthias_h.
The adapter looks incredibly easy to use — plug in a game cart, then boot or copy the SMC file found therein. Just like that, you’re playing your favorite SNES titles — and without contracting incurable cases of e-syphilis from “russian porn sites.” Check out the video demo after the jump!
