Starfox was a SNES game. But at any rate, an N64 emulator isn't going to run on our 150MHz ARM processor with no GPU and only 32MB of RAM. The Pandora is just barely able to run an optimized N64 emulator, and it's 600MHz+ with 3d graphics hardware and 256MB RAM.

Nspire is just slow at running 3D graphics, NES Emulator ain't that fast and it is 2D.

exscuse me.  Can't the Pandora emulate a Nintendo ds fully?
So why cant it emulate a n64 well?

Where did you get this? The pandora wiki says there is no emulator yet.

I said that the Pandora can run N64 emulation (just barely, meaning it's at the upper limit of its specs). There is no Nintendo DS emulator for the Pandora at this point, and nobody is showing any intentions to make one.

If N64 can barely run on Pandora, I think the Nspire will probably have to stick to SNES or Genesis as the top emulation possible x.x

Don't forget GBA. It'll be hard to get it full speed on 150mhz, but it should work, especially with pre-recompilation.

I think it's pushing things a little bit.

What's next? PS3 emulator on the nspire?

Multiplayer COD with that TI navigator thing in math class would be EPIC.

Let's just make a 360 emulator.  Just cause it hasn't been done for the PC yet doesn't mean we can't do it on the Nspire! :P
