hehe thats brilliant, using and emulator to run another emulator, a better step would be to use dosbox so as to install windows 98 so that one could install gens for windows hehe 
On a serious note though, a megadrive emulator would be good!
Also, how come dosbox only has 5 votes?

would be interesting to know but on the dosbox download page in extras there is mentioned the wingcommander and ultima underworld work ok, now these are old games requiring low level of CPU and memory, I seem to recall that back in the day i could not play roms on my 486 as it was too slow so i doubt it would on dosbox at the moment... i could be horribly wrong though.
Im gagging for a game of Streets of rage though!

Has anyone tried XCOM UFO Defense on their N900?
Just wondering if the little extra boost with the CPU is enough to run this at an acceptable speed.

The thing is, the IBM PC was a demon spawn from hell, full of evil crappy hardware, and emulating that is much slower than emulating an amiga of the same era.

I actually have great results playing XCOM right now (about 8 fps which looks very impressive) but requires VNC viewer.
But yeah, I was curious if there was a notable difference between the two tablets where it would be worth dropping the extra money.
Thanks for the honesty.

So in case you're wondering, this is what I'm working on...
MWAHAHAHAHAHA
"Proper" Hildon input method support, which brings support for all virtual keyboards (handwriting, finger, stylus), and also the usual hardware keyboard goodies, like proper automatic layout detection, sticky keys, etc. but also the n810's hardware keyboard status bar at the bottom of the screen

Whoah, where did this come from, Javis?
You're the first to understand how to launch the keyboard in an application that's not hildonized.
That's so awesome!
So hey, do you know enough about the keyboard where you could post a response to a thread I made a few days ago?
