For those of us currently enjoying the wonders of retrogaming with NerveGas and Jordan's Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator for the iPhone, NES.app, we've got some very good news. The latest version, v1.9.0, now has built-in Zapper support!

Of course, this doesn't mean that you'll be hooking up the Zapper to your Apple gadget soon. Instead, you'll be tapping the screen to make shots in games such as Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley. While this may seem like making the game a bit too easy - tapping is more accurate than taking aim and shooting, after all - it's still a lot of fun.

On to the changelog!

• 1.9.0 [nervegas]
• Tweaks to sound caching to get closer to real-time sync (you should be using auto-frameskip, slow frameskips will cause sound to loop)
• Added zapper support (tap screen);

• works with:

• Duck Hunt
• Hogan's Alley
• Wild Gunman
• Gumshoe (game itself has glitches)
• Shooting Range
• Gotcha!

• Others do not yet seem to work
