Yes, thats what I think, too. I played VBAG (GBA) on the E71, and it ran perfectly with frameskip 2-3. There should be an emulator that emulates almoust perfect, like DRNOKSNES does in the video obviously...

I dont want to make your work bad, i never used your emulator. I'm just hoping, that the emulators work good enough to play and have fun.

fms's GBA and GB and NES emulators work fine on the N800 and N810. I have full faith that they will work fine on the much more powerful N900.

No emulator is ever perfect though. But fun, he11 yes!

Some guy's made proper bluetooth Sixaxis drivers for Linux, maybe the same thing could be implemented with the N900. I don't think control would be an issue at all then

Hmmm, I think the Wiimote is more pocket-able though plus as it takes AA batteries its more practical when travelling.

Still, I would love if it became an unofficial standard to include Wii/PS3 pad compatibility in emulators on the N900. There are certainly some games where you need the diamond button layout so the Wiimote would not be good enough and having to carry the classic controller addon would be totally impractical.

YES; that was the post i was looking for! :-) Im sitting here, having no chance to test the n900, Nokia Store is far away and my delivery date has changed, too...

But, it's very good to know that we will have a good GBA Emulator from fms.

Thanks again fms.

Regarding Pandora's "gaming optimizations" vs N900: Afaik, both the N900 and Pandora are based on TI's full-featured OMAP3430 / 3530 System On a Chip, respectively. That means that they share the same cores, capabilities, coprocessors, interfaces etc. There was no way for MWeston to for e.g. 'drop in a more powerful graphics card' onto the board.

At the moment, it looks like the PowerVR SGX openGL ES texture surfaces will not be updateable fast enough to use for scaled 50-60fps screen-updates from emulators.

That's pretty aggravating, since the concept of maemo5 is to map application windows to openGL textures. Unless some new info comes along, I think we are looking at no high fps emulators (or *any* games, or high framerate video...) within scaled GL-ES windows.

I'm ignorant of what is available and planned for fremantle in the hardware-scaling department. The SoC also has some video hardware which should handle such things easily. Video players, games, emus should at least have 1990s tech. for drawing to screen. That means providing the basics. Scaled, Vsync'd Blitting, preferably with support for double/triple buffers.
--

Back on topic, Exophase's (gpsp) and Marat's (vgba) should run fine, but only Marat has contributed emus to the tablets so far; we'll see...
From a gamer to gamer:

Not so sure about the N900 not being able to handle the scaling. The "wimpy" G1 I have runs and scales NES, SNES, Genesis and GBA with sound and most games play to 60 fps. It even plays MAME games well and Metal Slug plays smoothly with sound.

Heck, the DS with inferior hardware plays all NEO GEO games smoothly with sound- KOF 2001, Metal Slug (all of them), Last Blade 2, etc. Well, all except Viewpoint (for some reason, that is one of the few games not supported).

N900 should become a gaming legend- in spite of no darn d-pad.

Doubt it. Remember "choppy" is not 55fps but rather frameskipping down to 8fps. With 30 fps I can barely notice it's actually frameskipping --

The only Android SNES emu I've found, SNesoid, it's closed source and payware, but from reading the reviews I bet it's yet another DrPocketSnes clone (like mine, lets be honest) -- thus no performance surprises there.
The only one that shows any promise is SuperGNES which is said to have rewritten the ASM core, but I wouldn't put my finger on it, and its also closed source.
