FireFox: Made of win!

There is a new app for FireFox, called FireNES.

Give you two guesses what it does.

If you guessed that it will let you play NES games on the browser, you're 100% right.

FireNes allows us to play around 2500 Nintendo games, without the need to download anything or emulator or roms.


Now that is an epic triumph. Legend of Kage, here I come!

Where do you find the games and how the heck do you get them to load? The homepage is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to help, even with translation in place.

After having it installed, and after restarting the browser, click tools, then scroll down till you see FireNES.

Thank you. I feel like an idiot. I actually did that earlier and thought nothing of clicking it. =\

EDIT: The reviewers are right. The controls do not work. Not even a bit. However, if you go to vNES's website (the host for all of the games) they work half way. You can jump and walk, but the "a" button doesn't work at all.

EDIT: I was incorrect, and so were the reviewers. The controls do work. You have to double click the game window to activate them. However, not all of the games have full controls, so it's kinda iffy.

One good thing though...it has the Japanese original and the fanhacked American version of the TF game! (Mystery Of Convoy)
