SNESoid is yet another DrPocketSNES close (and an illegal one, btw, since the license clearly forbids commercial use -- basically "sue on sight"). DrNokSnes is such another clone too, so I wouldn't expect any _important_ speed difference between both.

And behold! That's the case with nearly every Youtube video about the G1 I've seen (unfortunately I'm yet to find one myself). In a 5-months old Mario Kart video that seems to be done on a G1 without frameskipping nor overcloking my N810 is even faster (of course without frameskipping nor overclocking either).

My wild guess is that since SNESoid doesn't have a proper FPS counter you're guessing the framerate. In which case, please compare to a real console or your favourite desktop emulator.
I compared to ZSNES (PC) and my Dingoo game system, which both have a frame counters and plays Mario Kart full speed with sound. I see no difference between.

update: I also tried on by GBA with the actual cart (I have over one hundred of them things).

I am a gaming nut- if it is not playing smooth with sound, I will tell you. Need to test Duke Nukem' on the GBA emulator- That game is a legend for bringing emulators to their knees.

Droid plays Mario Kart at full speed with sound- with zero frame skip setting. Please check with other people that have a Droid (for now) and have Mario Kart on it.

Snesoid even plays it rotating to portrait- full speed with sound. I am a picky SOB when it comes to games. Droid rocks, so N900 should be better than this. Unless the dev for the "Oid" emulators is a coding genius and this is why it is better than the others.

Though the dev is good, I say Bratag is right and the 3430 is just a good beast for small devices.

BTW- I Never said Droid has better emus than N900- no way of knowing. I do know that Droid plays them very well, but I have a PSP, DS and Dingoo loaded with roms. I want the N900 for media, web, all of the space for media and a different OS than Android.
