Yikes!

I simply was pointing out that if Droid can manage good emulation, the N900 should be better, due to not having Android overhead to deal with.

As far as Mario Kart for SNES and GBA, the G1 clocked at 528mhz plays them both at about 40fps with sound. More than adequate for playability. Droid plays them close to 60fps, but the freaking keyboard drives me insane. The alignment of the keys (not staggered) and the top row has only 1/8" of clearance for the display case.

Ironically, the G1's KB is better than Droids. N900 appears to have both the same key alignment and lack of top row clearance that Droid has.

Could be a case of packing a Wii mote with us .

BTW- Droid still runs into performance issues with Neo Geo games. Have to set to skip "2" frames per second for it to play Metal Slug 2 smoothly with sound. It was a slide show on the G1.

Why would N900 not perform better than the 3430 using Android?
