Hello Karl. There are several emulators that run OK, but could run much faster with some tuning. Basically, any of the SDL-based ones that can use a framebuffer target will probably work OK. I've found that you need to hack on them a bit to get decent performance, though. I think that you are out of luck on the N64 for now, since we're still sorting out some details on capes for the 3.14/3.17 kernels that have SGX support for OpenGL ES and EGL support. The N64 would run too slowly using software rendering, but it might run semi-acceptably with an accelerated OpenGL ES.
Here is my BeagleSNES emulator system for SNES titles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8IbhJ7xH6g I am also taking performance measurements on a few other platforms and doing some tuning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kjJrflm5mU I would not worry about using X. Instead, look at emulators that can run on the framebuffer.
