I dont know anything about an NES emu, but there is a good Sega one available. Just Google "Picodrive."

The Opera browser can be dowloaded for a 14 day trial, after that you must purchase it. Google "Opera + Series 60."

My Symbian (http://wap.my-symbian.com) has Opera available for download over the mobile Internet (WAP), but usually it won't work due to the fact that Opera is so big! Anyway, if you wanna try and download it, just use the "Services" or "Web" application to go to http://wap.my-symbian.com/7650/applications/applications_wap.php?fldAuto=441&faq=6#news...

Keep in mind that maintaining a collection of ROMs (ROMs are the games you use with emulators) is in the grey area of the law. Most countries' copyright laws state that if you have purchased and currently own copy of the game you're playing on your emulator, you can legally make ONE (1) back-up copy, which you would be able to use with an emulator... Then there is the argument that because the games are usually retired, it is perfectly legal to use emulators and maintain a collection of ROMs. Some people (especially those in the video game industry) consider the use of emulators and ROMs outright illegal and a few countries have laws preventing you from doing maintaining a collection of ROMs! Although only one person has been prosecuted for maintaining a collection of ROMs to date, I recommend that you check the laws in your country, state or province before starting a collection of ROMs...
