Unless there will be real 3D support on N8x0 (and we all know the story about that), then Mupen64 would have to run with GL-emulation through Mesa, as the current Mupen64 port for Beagleboard (the one which that link points to). It's not fast, and Beagleboard has a faster CPU than our good old N8x0 NITs.

But seriously, who cares? N64 is the most useless platform you could possibly emulate. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge emulation fan, and N64 is still my favorite console that I've ever owned. But it can't be played without the real N64 controller. I have not found a single (good) N64 game that maps well to any other controller. I'd love to be wrong about this. There are some truly great games for the 64. If you know a good way to make it work, let me know.
BTW 4 player Bomberman64 FTW!

But, I get what you're saying and you're right.But, oh, to have Tetrisphere on my N900... I would be out for days.

Yeah, sorry about that. It came off as way more trollish than I meant it. It frustrates me that the 64 will go down in history as an also-ran because the console itself was a turd of a machine, and the controller was so unique that it can't be easily remapped. Seriously, how awesome were Turok and Golden Eye on that controller? And oh! Perfect Dark, we hardly knew ye...

Eh, it can be decently played with a dual shock like controller on the PC. But yeah.. it's not perfect.

It may not be the same, but I wonder if using the N900's gyro sensors might make it just as usable and enjoyable.
I mean seriously: Your friends are touting their big name phones and you walk up playing Goldeneye on yours...how kickin' would that be?

While with the Wii, you can move the gyro all you like, but your TV is sitting in one place.

But yes, it'd be awesome if we could play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark on the n900. =P

Unless I'm mistaken, this should work on the N900, and possibly even the N8x0 (I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this would probably be unusably slow).
