Unfortunately I don't see sound being perfect on the current hardware. But essentailly as the graphical elements get better... the sound will too. A nice read is here:

Uploaded a nice easy to follow image x.x Check guide again.

Go ahead, however don't do it while Accelemymote is active... as per the warning on the first page.

I've have uploaded two videos (poor quality...) showing Mario Kart 64 running on my N900 (1GHz).

thanks for taking the time to upload the pic man, got it working now, a little too sensitive but that makes it more challenging and fun xD i tried it with mario kart and still runs almost full speed with no OC, wich is lovely

most fun i've ever had with my n900... what we need now is like a list of the games that run best with default/no-oc settings...i know banjo kazooie, mario 64 and mario kart.... i read 1080 and f-zero work well too... what are the best to get?

So is the n900 hardware same as pandora handheld?

F-Zero X is a good one for accelemymote.. as is 1080. I just stumbed across the fact Turok 2 runs really well as well. As does Wave Race (reportedly). Just tried em: If they crash, give up and move on :P

Pretty much identical. Only, ironically, we are able to overclock ours harder than they are... and as such it's faster for us :P

How come the n64 emualtor runs better on the pandora then?

Also what games run with sound enabled using stock cpu speed?

I think it's due lighter OS..

For those wanting a neat Queen Beecon snippet, but not confident in how to, I followed this:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=319

A couple of edits that I had to make:
The Command line needed the full path to the ROM and the addition of --nogui, like below:
osso-xterm -e "mupen64plus /home/user/Mydocs/super-Mario-64.z64 --nogui" &

I had to put the neat Mario pictures for the snippets into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/
I tried putting them into /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/ but they didn't update after a phone reboot.

I used the code from http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=35
It's a modified cwiid (in my opinion the best wiimote toolkit). I just created .debs from the code, installed them and runned "wminput -c gamepad" and it detects the wiimote and creates /dev/input/jsX (where X is a number). Mupen64 then detects the Wiimote/Classic Controller as gamepad, you then have to choose the buttons in the settings (I also set one of the buttons for stop and one for pause emulation). And the fun can begin.
The wminput modes are:

acc_led: Looks like acc with Led 4 lighting and buttons (see below) included (untested)
acc_ptr: Looks like just acc and buttons (see below) included (untested)
buttons: All buttons form Wiimote, Nunchuck and Classic Controller (but no joysticks) (untested)
gamepad: Only Classic Controller (tested, works great)
ir_ptr: Uses Wiimotes IR sensor for cursor, not usable for N900 in my opinion (untested)
neverball: acc settings optimised for neverball
nunchuk_acc_ptr: Uses the Nunchucks Acc and all buttons
nunchuk_stick2btn: Uses Nunchuck with the Joystick as 4 buttons

I added a line to gamepad config so that the first LED is on so that I don't forget to disconnect it.
You have to remove wiiconnect and weiight as tehy depend on a different version of libcwiid than the one that comes with this cwiid build. Maybe someone can change wiicontrol and weiight to use this lib as it should be the same and has all the tools (like wminput and wmgui to check the controller).

Away for another couple of weeks so I haven't got my Wiimote to try it out, but amazed nothing neat has come from this. I'd love for you to upload those debs and save me the trouble :P
