How to Use an Emulator for the iPod

You can play games on your iPod.

Emulators are downloads that allow you to play retro games on various electronic devices, including computer and phones. The iPod Touch comes with Internet capability, so it is possible to put an emulator on it. Once downloaded, you can choose from hundreds of different retro games, such as Donkey Kong and Galaga, and play them right from the device. You will need to configure you iPod so that the emulator works on it.
