My initial impressions were perhaps blinded by liking the N900's Flash and media playback. After more time, the emulators (though appreciated and better than nothing) are not as good as thought before.

I have Smartgear for the Dash and all of the emulators for the G1 and also used all of them with Droid (except Final Burn, since was not ready for Droid yet).

SNES: N900 is fastest off all of them, but how do you set keys for diagonals? Kind of kills some games for movement- shooters are an example. You can hit two keys at same time for the function, but very awkward due to the key layout.

NES: Surprisingly, Dash, G1 and Droid all appear to play smoother for some games, but not all. Again, how do you set up for diagonals?

SEGA: Plays as good as Segoid on Droid. Diagonals?

VGB: Plays better then Smartgear on Dash (No Android emu)

VGBA: Droid and G1 plays smoother for most games and more work on Android. The odd thing is 3D games play faster on the N900. 2D games like Medal of Honor Infiltrator and the M@rio games are slooow on the N900, but play smooth on Droid and even the G1 when clocked to 528mhz. Still VGBA plays a lot of game pretty well.

The problem remains though, how do you set keys for diagonals on the emulators and why is there no zip support? This would save 75% of the space roms take up. One other issue is there appears to be no indexing, so the rom directory has to update each time.

My guess is if the Android emulators were ported to the N900, we would have perfection, since Android has more overhead than Maemo.
