The next step in the iPod's journey from being
just a digital audio player to a device that does literally everything is the iPod MAME project. The
emulator--a very much unsupported emulator for iPod linux--allows you to
play such legendary games as Pac-Man on a range of iPods. We assume that the emulator will play other MAME games (no telling how well), but since the only iPod available for us to test is a chunky 3G iPod, we can't test this theory. In the meantime, check out Scott's nano MAME cabinet pictured on the right. Scott's been working hard to fine tune the graphics for the iPod's display, as well as creating a custom MAME cabinet to play the games on.
