If you’re a johnny-come-lately who doubts Konami’s deep influence in gaming, look no further than the Palm Pre, which is proving itself a love den for all things Konami. Days ago, it was discovered that inputting the famous Konami Code into the Palm Pre unlocks the handset’s dev mode, so it’s only fitting that the first reported gaming emulation on the WebOS platform is Contra, the NES hall-of-famer that made the cheat famous.
Checking out the step-by-step instructions, it looks realtively breezy for any geek to get the run-and-gunner onto the Palm Pre. I’m looking forward to seeing what the hackzor and homebrewers accomplish with the Palm Pre – - any Super Mario Bros. action, anyone?
