Can the galaxy tab 7.0 plus run N64oid at full speed?

Has anybody tried this? I bought a nook color two months ago for this purpose. But it doesn't play well at all. And the latest version of cyanogenmod 7 isn't even compatible with N64oid anymore. And with the recent release of kindle fire & nook tablet, I feel like I wasted my money buying a nook color. Then I discovered the new 7 inch tablet from Samsung. It's more expensive but I've seen reviews of it and it looks like it's worth it. So can anyone confirm how playable N64oid is?

Why hasn't anyone replied yet? I need to know because this will decide whether or not I buy one.

Probably because there are not a lot of 7 plus's around yet......

Thanks. That sounds pretty good. What games have you tried?

Actually right now I'm torn between this and the new transformer prime. The tab is more compact at 7 inches but the prime is more powerful with the tegra 3 quad-core processor. Also the prime will have android 4.0 ice cream sandwich. Don't know what to do.

Mostly Super Mario 64. Here's a video to show you what sort of performance you can expect:

Thought you might like to know that I got a wiimote + classic controller (gamecube-like add-on) to work on it, so now I'm running around Super Mario 64 with a hardware controller

That's awesome. Please try out other games too.

The controller works in all games, if that's what you mean.

No. I meant playablity. You know like if the speed and graphics in other games were normal or distorted. Mostly the popular N64 games like:

The legend of zelda majora's mask
Banjo-kazooie
Banjo-tooie
Donkey Kong 64
Mischief makers
Paper mario
Diddy Kong racing
Wave race 64
Jet force gemini
Pokemon stadium
Pokemon stadium 2
Rayman 2 the great escape
Golden eye 007
Perfect dark
Conker's bad fur day
Mario kart 64
Star fox 64
The legend of zelda ocarina of time

Not so much for those last two since they are available on the 3DS. But if the others were playable, that would be fantastic.

Okay. Thanks. Hmm.. silly me for not adding super smash bros to that list.

Thought I'd pop back in here with some more experiences from the last month...

Basically I've had both Wiimote, Wii classic controller, Xbox 360 controller and PS3 sixaxis controller working on the 7.0+. I ended up using the sixaxis myself as it gives me proper analog stick control. It does however require root, but that's a 30 second job on the 7.0+. Just finished beating the 70-star bowser in SM64, some of those later levels with a lot of balancing and such more or less require analog stick control to get through without getting frustrated.
