So far all is working great now, but very slow :x Most improvement will come from Ari64 on the arm optimisations and the gles plugin which i may take a look soon. I may upload a deb soon to extra devel since all is working, but speed will probably improve only when the pandora comes out so other people will get involved...
Good work up to now.

Here's my control scheme hope it doesn't sound too complex, but here goes...
Q W E
A S D
Q=LEFT W=UP E=RIGHT
A=LEFT S=DOWN D=RIGHT
For movement; it provides analog 'like' movement by enabling the user press any of the two keys together, it would also be ideal for 3d fighters and walkers like mario 64.
'Full stop'; 'UP' and 'Enter' on the key pad would be z, a and b respectively.
'Left', 'Down' and 'Right' on the keypad would be Start, L and R respectively.
About the configuration for other two analog sticks :/ ... user would have to set those accordingly to suite individual games, most games dont realy use them any way. I find my self having to do the same thing with my comp keyboard on mupen emualtor.

cpasjuste, can you please distribute the modified source too (or even patches to the original ari64 version). Do you have a repository?
I managed to build it under the fremantle sbox arm7 toolchain (dump) (though it has some graphic glitches -- namely it's clipping polygons nearly znear -- but is as performing as your build). So I believe sending it to extras "free" (with source, autobuilder) is possible.
Also, btw, if you're using -O3, you might want to try to -O2 or even -Os too. I've been surprised some times...

hmmm... another idea just hit me....
I know a number of factors affect the actual speed of the phone, these include, the size of the memory cards (sd cards), the amount of processes running, and believe it or not...the resolution of the phone. Similar to pc games if you reduce the resolution of a game it'd run much faster, like say 800*600 to 640*480. But in the case of the n900 and the Mupen 64 emu.
Would it be possible to actually reduce (render) the resolution of the mupen emulator to say 480*320 pixels?
This (in theory) might actually help speed up the Fps exponentially and it wont necessarily look terrible since it would be at the same resolution of the iphone 3gs. Also I know switching off the phone features temporarily would help a lot maybe the emulator could have such a feature as an option...maybe.

I believe the N64 used resolutions 256x224 and 320x240 natively (apart from a few games like Majora's Mask in the bomber's notebook), so reducing the emulated resolution would accurately improve the authenticity as well as speed!

I guess not. What would you'd use to scale the result back to fullscreen? Unlike the Pandora, the N900 doesn't contain any hardware scaler.
