I see your point about wanting the function of a DPad for games. Look at the Droid. They almost had it, but they put the pad on the wrong side.

I am sorry, but I have to say that the N900 is no specialized gaming console* -- if you want that, get the Pandora.
So my opinion is that you can expect something running slow on the Pandora to run slower (how much I don't know) on the N900. And, up so far, the N64 emulator runs _slow_ on the Pandora. So there may never be a usable N64 emu. You have been warned.**

**Ironically, I used to believe that there would be no good SNES emu on the N810
Currently dosbox on pandora gets just shy of 3000 cycles. Dosbox on N900 gets to around 1100. That is close to factor of three in terms of end-result emulation power on that particular app, given current builds. If you are interested in playable emulators...
N64: No
Dreamcast: No
DS: No
PSX: Depends
