Sometime along was posted the incredible posibility of mupen64plus for
porting to other platforms, i.e. mobile phones with linux version like
Nokia N900.
Now everybody can see this true... ( http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=fSB810LWJ9E&feature=related
)
With the new android tablet explosion, there are appearing <170$
powerfull 7-10" devices that probably can run mupen64plus... (http://
www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-discussions/432-overview-android-tablets-market-classified-chipsets.html)
I.e. recent Gpad g10 (

) has a GPU mali200 that is supposed to run 3 faster than N900 GPU
(SGX530) (see http://www.smartqmid.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=596)
I would like to get the opinion of mupen64plus experts about all this
posibilities, better HW support, etc. I know that not only opengl 3d
support, and triangles/second is the main limitation. Could be good to
see memory, CPU type (probably all ARMs), etc.
There are another problem to discuss: how to solve input support for
tablet (acelerometer as joypad, multitouch over screen buttons...).
Even this devices have usb support, could be great to run mupen64plus
with only the tablet.
I dont know if google people know the power seller that could have
android tablets to support mupen64plus... but seems that there are
people working on this... ( http://code.google.com/p/n64oid/ )
porting to other platforms, i.e. mobile phones with linux version like
Nokia N900.

the ARM mali200 is weaker than powervr SGX530

what the pandora port has showed that the minume hardware
requirements is ARM cortex a8 @ 600-800 MHz and powervr SGX530 @ 100
MHz
