QuicklyBored.com has the goods on how to hack the iPhone 3G in order to play NES games.
First download the PwnageTool 2.0.1 here Remember, this is mac only so if you have a PC: SAH-WEE.
Now download the firmware bundle from here.
Now run the PwnageTool software. Don’t you love how graphically pleasing it is? So simple.

You’ll now have to go through the backup and update process. It didn’t work for me so I had to start over but I didn’t lose anything special. I just resync’d my apps and music and badaboom badabing.
Keep following the instructions and eventually you’ll have a hacked iPhone with a new app called Cydia. Download the essential updates that it prompts you to get. If you didn’t get a prompt, quit and reboot.
Now I would suggest going to the “Featured Packages” section of Cydia and downloading the NES files. Here is where it starts to get tricky.
Once you’ve downloaded the NES files, you’re going to have to upload NES ROMs via the Terminal program on your Mac. So go torrent some NES ROMs, I suggest IsoHunt.

Now uploading these NES ROMs requires some hacking that’ll make you feel like you’re smarter than Mr. Apple himself.
Open Cydia and install and start the OpenSSH. Now follow the instructions in the picture below:

Now you should have all your NES ROMs good to go! Remember, any problems and hit me up with a comment, I’ll help you out.
