A year ago I predicted that Android's byte code translation layer would make it impossible for even a GBC game emulator to play smooth with sound. Based on people trying to use the SDK as designed, that turned out to be correct but, a few geniuses out there figured out how to get around some of the obstacles by using C++.

Thanks to Droid and the great 3430 chipset, as of today, Droid plays the following games systems full speed with sound with every game I have thrown at them (hundreds). Based on sampling of games tried, the emulators on Droid have no equal with game compatibility (until N900 and Pandora get rolling).

1. NES
2. SNES
3. GBA
4. Genesis
5. Sega
6. Game Gear
7. Frodo64
8. MAME (Jarcade was released today for Droid and plays all games I have tried .34 & .35b romsets full speed with sound).

Just need a GBC and Turbografx emu to complete the sweep

My point about this is that the 3430 chipset WITH ANDROID plays all of these platforms very well. Just imagine how well the N900 will be with Maemo, no byte code layer and an extra 50mhz will do

My guess is besides all of the platforms listed above, a PS1 emulator should be very possible as well. DOA, Raiden 2, Devil Dice, Tobal 2 and Crash Racing would be sweet

If Droid did not suck for video codecs and the card under the battery thing- it would be a closer competitor to the N900- not to mention the screen size and dimensions are even better than the N900. N900 does have all the other things though, so is tops for gadget nuts.
