Would a project like this one http://little-john.net/ be feasible for porting? this is an emu for PalmOS that has source available runs on an arm platform and emulates several systems including snes.

ok, im not sure if this thread is dead or not, but it seems the most relevent. After growing impatient waiting for DrPocketSnes, i decided to make a GUI for the current Snes9x! There are no tuchscreen buttons, so im guessing that this will only work on an N810 or N800/770 with a keyboard...
This is how to install a full-ish speed Snes emulator (but no sound as explained earlier in the thread) for all those noobs out there like myself
1) Download Snes9x from http://pupnik.de/snes9x.html
2) Extract the binary's (both snes9x_opt2 and snes9x), and move both to /usr/bin ( i used emelfm2 for both uncompressing and moving, id recomend xarchiver though) I think you have to run it as root user, not sure...
3) I had to use chmod a=rwx filename on both so i could use them, i dont know why...
4) You now have a hopefully working Snes emulator now, but it can only be accessed from the terminal.
5) I moded the GUI from pyboy, the python frontend for gnuboy on the NITs, and made it run the snes emulator instead.
6) all you have to do now is unzip the attached file, move PySnes.desktop (I have no imagination) to /usr/share/applications/hildon/
and move pysnes to /usr/bin
7) I highly recomend installing PyBoy, because the menu shortcut uses a icon from it, and its a great GBC emu.
everything should work, but im no programer so dont ask me!
Attachment 1032
READ: This is the first time i have attached something to this form, and i didnt know it didnt accept tar files, so i renamed it pysnes.txt. I think u cant rename it to pysnes.tar using the built in file manager, so use emelfm2. im sorry, but i dont know how to zip files on my n810
ps: u need python to run the GUI, fyi

Umm, ok did you try using just snes9x and not PySnes. Try it using the command line.

Btw, I believe some kind of semi-multitouch is possible.
You see, the touchscreen averages the touch pressure between all pressure points. For button combination, setting the combination in the average between the combined buttons would work.
For example, here's 2 buttons "O" and the average between the 2 buttons "x". Pressing the 2 buttons would output the coordinates of the "x".
Here's a 4 button setup.
A + B = x1
B + D = x2
A + C = x3
C + D = x4
Sure thing, no physical feedback is really bad about buttons, but some sound/visual feedback would be the least that could be done.
Can't any coder try out this idea? XD;

maybe, but lets get a better SNES emu out first no? It seems no work is being done. Liqbase does this "fake" multitouch, but this is even easier.
Problems, how do you press A+D or B+C ? They are the same! Its too difficult to predict how much force each finger is pressing, because each finger needs to press the exact same amount or there has to be approximation software. Its possible, but a keyboard or Wii Remote is a much more nicer solution.

The only problems are it is not optimized for the tablets. So it can go much faster.
Also, there are no controls, so without a N810, keyboard, Wii Remote, or a virtual keyboard, its going to be difficult (impossible?) to play...
30 fps, 20 fps, whatever, as long as it works...
