@valia: I don't THINK that there is a way to play on the N800 without a keyboard or wii remote. This is because there are no touch buttons. If you still want to try it, Snes9x has been out on Arnim's website for a LONG time, along with a lot of other great softs.
Ok, This is the "easy" way to do it. There are a lot of much simpler ways to do this via xTerm, but if you can do that, you don't need this guide.
1) install becomeroot or easyroot (now recommend rootsh)
2) install emelfm2 -->emelfm2 download and tips

3) Download the snes9x from
http://pupnik.de/snes9x_15_pupnik.tgz
(do this on the tablet)
4) Save the file to you memory card ( anywhere is fine, but for the sake of the tutorial, we will be using the internal slot)
5) Open xTerm, type in "sudo gainroot" for becomeroot (without quotes) or "root" for easyroot (without quotes).
6) type "emelfm2" (without quotes)
7) WARNING: you are running as root, which means you can $@^& up your system if you do somthing wrong ( Don't worry to much though)
8) Now, on the emelfm2 window, navigate to /media/mmc2/ (internal card) or /media/mmc1/ (external card) or /home/user/MyDocs/ (System memory)
9) Double click the snes9x_15_pupnik.tgz file that you downloaded. It should have extracted snes9x and snes9x_opt2
10) Now open up a new xTerm, and type "sudo gainroot" or "root" (without quotes) and "chmod a=rwx /media/mmc2/snes9x" and "chmod a=rwx /media/mmc2/snes9x_opt2" (without quotes on both) You may have to change the path if you downloaded it to a different place. EDIT: Try moving it to /usr/bin/ FIRST
11) Open up emelfm2 again ( like steps 5 and 6), or use the old one (must have root power) (lol, root power ftw)
12) move both of the files to /usr/bin/ (you could also use xTerm for this)
13) You now have a working snes EMULATOR!!!!! But its only command line.....
14) BUT DON'T FEAR! I made a GUI a long time ago because I was sick of the command line!
15) Check this out --->

16) Scroll down to my post, and download the PySnes.txt attachment
17) Rename the PySnes.txt to PySnes.tar (no, im not gonna re-upload as zip or rar, though someone else can). Then double click the file to extract the pysnes and PySnes.desktop
18) Using the same method to move files, move PySnes.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/ and pysnes to /usr/bin/
18.5) Ok, looks like you have to do this extra step in Xterm:
type: chmod a=rwx /usr/bin/pysnes
and maybe
type: chmod a=rwx /usr/share/applications/hildon/PySnes.desktop
19) Ok, if all went well, you should have a new program in your "extras" folder.
20) Wow, this took 20 steps.... not that easy I guess. You are DONE!!!
With this GUI, you can run the game in small screen or full screen. If you have trouble selecting files because you have to navigate a lot of directories, thats probably because the path is hard-coded to where my files are. You can change this, but I really think it makes no difference...
Enjoy!
