Video: SNES runs beautifully on N900, makes out hearts flutter
We've already seen Nokia's Maemo 5-powered N900 pull off some pretty fanciful tricks, but without qualification this is the one most dear to our hearts. Somehow or another, Konttori managed to get his palms around an N900 of his own, and rather than testing out the social networking abilities or battery life, he simply installed an SNES emulator, tweaked it to accept Wiimote controls and even connected it to his TV for a staggeringly authentic gameplay experience. Vicarious living is just a click or two away, so hop on past the break for a video of the action. Oh, and don't mind the baby -- he's not in the corner or anything.

Ngage Who? :) Could you just imagine if this thing supported SNES out of the box?
Really just the tip of the hacking iceberg for maemo devices though. Nokia, we want more.

As for emulation for nokia tablets, we have
Atari 2600
Atari ST
Amiga
Commodore 64
DOSBOX
GB/GBA
Master System
MAME
MSX
NES
Palm OS
SNES
However many of these are not up-to-date, and several are missing complete frontends or guis. JavisPedro's DrNokSnes (please use the correct name) is a port of the gp2x's DrPocketSnes (many authors). It includes some optimized mode7 support by JavisPedro to make demanding games like Mario Kart run faster.
just off the top of my head there... Not all
I've got
