The N900 has an ARM processor, so its 600 MHz won't mean much when emulating x86.

The last time I looked at it, patches for ARM Winelib support were being already merged in. I'm pretty sure that by now Wine compiles for ARM.

The plan would be not to run wine entirely under qemu (good luck; and the performance will suck), but patch the wine native executable loader to use this modified qemu (thus the actual wine code being _arm_, and thus the reason an arm-building wine is needed).

Wait for a MeeGo device that runs on x86... then there's a higher chance that we'll get something useable in this dept.

I wonder if there is an old copy floating about on the web from the Trango days which we could get it to work on the N900...
I have been able to track then down under the previous website here... I'm continue my search...
