Pre gets NES emulation in Linux; our thumbs are in for a world of hurt

Sure, once you get Doom onto a device there isn't much stopping you in the homebrew department, but we thought the implementation of an NES emulator on webOS outside of the Classic environment was worth noting -- even if it happens to be astoundingly easy to pull off. All it requires is a quick trip to root on the device a compile of the FCEUltra NES emulator for Linux and bam, it's good to go. Hit up the read link for instructions (we're sure we're simplifying things just a tad) -- and no, the incredible appropriateness of using a Contra ROM to kick things off hasn't escaped us.

Nice! I'm so ready for some things to start popping off for the pre. Code has been leaked and it's time for some action..lol.. So I noticed in the "quote" that they mentioned a link w instructions but I didn't see it. Not sure if it was suppose to be there or not. Thanks for the 411 on this, nice find
