Near the end of 2011 we told you that ZodTTD mentioned he would be releasing the N64iPhone emulator for the iOS 5 firmware generation in a matter of days. Unfortunately, as you can tell, this never happened and there are still a lot of people desperately awaiting the N64iPhone emulator so they can play classic games on their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running iOS 5 like Super Mario 64, Starcraft 64, Donkey Kong and many more!

Today we finally have received an update from ZodTTD in the form of a tweet explaining that he has actually gotten N64iPhone working on the iOS 5 firmware. The only problems he is facing is some frame limiting and backgrounding bugs. Once these issues have been fixed N64iPhone will actually be released and will be available through Cydia.

We will keep you updated on any further developments. Until that time please stay tuned and let us know if you are excited for the release of N64iPhone for iOS 5 in the comments section below.
