Super Mario?

anyone know if a) the bionic is powerful enough to run n64 (specifically super mario 64, greatest game pre-halo) or b) its worth trying to play with no physical keypad?
 
The Bionic would perform ok for N64 emulation ... but N64 is pretty heavy lifting and even on my Transformer tablet, there are glitches and slowdowns.

The biggest issue, IMHO, is controls. Playing a simple game with a D-Pad and a couple of buttons with a high action game is a HUGE pain in the ass. These games were NOT made for virtual, touch screen controls.

Frankly, as a purveyor of classic gaming, I find the whole concept atrocious in nature. Might as well play some other game TOTALLY unsuitable for the medium - imagine playing Call of Duty or Halo with a virtual touch controller.

Anyway, I recommend finding a real controller to use with the emulator.
