Because it has to emulate the hardware...

The hardware in the N800 could do it. There are two problems, though. The emulator needs optimization, and we still don't have a proper driver for the video hardware.

Some guys implemented the NES hardware on a single chip, built a little handheld and licensed 99 NES games

Looks like this cute little thing can be had for about $30-$40.
