I know this is a stupid question from an ignorant bystander, but I'm curious nevertheless: how is it possible that a psp can emulate the gba almost perfectly with sound while the tablet is such a lousy performer?
It cannot be raw processor performance alone, since the browser on the psp is a joke and it is slow as hell.

PSP has acceleration?

Maybe because Sony actually thought about the hardware that was going in the PSP. Granted, it was always meant to be used as a gaming device.
Still ******ed decisions from Nokia about the LCD Controller continue to annoy me every time I use mplayer. And the GPS chip in the N810 is another example of Nokia's brilliant decision over choice of hardware.

Again, when you use the browser the PSP doesn't really seem more powerful, on the contrary, it's really slow, the n800 is a speed demon in comparison.
Maybe it's just the video subsystem that s***s on the tablet.

I'll say great work to you fms even though I've not even got my tablet yet 
but based on what other people have said it sounds like you are doing a sterling job 
I hope you can continue development and I hope we can all support you.
I have a question, has anyone started a reference yet of what games work, what their performance is like and if they have any issues/problems? We should start a thread or at least create some sort of a list?

btw, the games I'm talking about are 128bit or higher roms. 32bit roms run fine and 64bits have some problems like i runs so slow at some point.
So any advice for me?
