The PortalPlayer SoCs and the CPU in the GBA are both ARM7TDMI, so not just iPods, but Sansas and the H10 as well.

However, I still wouldn't expect it to be very fast, because you still have to factor in graphics and sound emulation as well.

I think GBA is asking for a bit too much.  What we really need is NES.  I bet the Gigabeat at least could easily handle NES.

I really, really want to play Mario 3 on the go.

LambdaCalculus:
Then get to work and write an emulator.

After thinking about to though, GBA does use a few to many buttons for some of the players, but it could probaly be done on the iPod. button wise. You could do the arrows, A, B and start the same and then have center as the right trigger button and bottom left and left trigger button and then just cut out the select, because how often do you actually need to use the select button.

As for the NES, thats also been done for the iPod with iPod Linux(so it would be possible on atleast the iPods with Rockbox)

Just some random ideas, dont be to harsh on it.  ;D

There's already a somewhat-working patch for a NES emulator.  It really needs some love if it's going to get into SVN though.
