Probably the best performing game at the moment is Mario 64 although the Z button isn't best placed for certain jumps.

I've tried a couple of games where characters have two sets of eyes and in Smash Bros. certain characters have none at all! Freaky.

Given time this will become better i'm sure but, curse my hands, my fingers don't take kindly to constant rubbing against a screen and, alas, only 8 stars in I had to have a break from Mario 64 but it is still a much better experience than the D-pad on other emulators.

Haven't tried FPSE yet although I have PSX4Droid and have played Gran Turismo which runs very well although in the heat of battle your finger can stray off the controls. With a decent bluetooth joypad these emulators would eat hours of my day but my fingers come first!
That's great to know! Apparently, the developer of the N64 emulator is quite good at continuing to update the software, so I expect that compatibility will improve in the future. It is a shame that only a few roms work properly, but as you said, its great that there's an emulator at all!

To make things more comfortable, check this out:

I suspect this would work for the Tab as well, and would add some useful tactile feedback. It would be better still if it were embodied in a case that you could just snap on to your device, or like a band that you could slip around your device (weekend DIY project?). In any case, it's likely better than just the bare screen for these emu games.
