Its already possible to run Windows on Nintendo DS using DSx86...
That has already been said: 3DS and PS1/N64 have different architectures. Thats the limitation.
Hacking ASK ) With 3DS Horse Power Is Posible To Have Ps2,Wii,PSP,Gamecube Emulator On 3DS ?

It was a joke, you seem quite dense. There is always that one person who never quite gets the joke and you must be it!

Why the fuck even bother? You got a PC, play your fucking roms there. or on your tablet/smartphone whatever.
Sheesh-.-
Sheesh-.-
Show me an ARM11-based smartphone running the CPU at 266MHz (dual core) or 532MHz (single core) that does full speed N64 emulation and I'll show you a liar. Not possible.
...wat? DOS, some really old Windows revisions but nothing of the likes of 95 or NT ergo nothing of any use. You make it sound like it's usable - it really isn't. Similarily you can run Windows 98 on the PSP using Bochs but can't do much more beyond that.
Smartphones have an OS and other processes to handle, unlike the 3DS.
Also, 2x266 =/= 1x532 (MHz). But I'm sure you knew that.

10 logic gates doing 20 passes = 200 instructions. 5 logic gates doing 40 passes = 200 instructions. Disregarding the losses on pipelines etc, it's a close enough match provided the CPU's compared are the same class.
As for your OS claim, fine, show me full speed N64 emulation running on 1GHz ARM11, you're still out of luck anyways.
I just used setcpu on my phone to lower the cpu speed to 216mhz min and max then loaded up my n64 emulator. It's not full speed but it's close, and it's definitely playable.
edit 1: I take that back, it's running at full speed
...with GPU-based acceleration, the 3DS is a whole different story - we don't know to what extent the GPU can be used. I'm also ever so curious if your stepping setting actually worked, I find it very unlikely. How many cores does your CPU have? How many are active?
It has more RAM than the systems it can realistically emulate.
In all honesty, i'd rather want a good PSX emulator on the 3DS than have a poorly coded PSP emulator on it. Besides used PSP's are cheap nowadays and are really easy to hack.
3ds has a 268MHz gpu according to 3dbrew.org. My phone only has a 300MHz gpu. Not a whole lot of difference there. Also thats will all my background apps running and the os itself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth
MHz are a measure of cycles per second, not processing power. The chips have to be in the same class to make it amount to anything. I have a GeForce 2 MX running at 400MHz but that doesn't mean it's anywhere near the processing power of a contemporary GPU running with the same clock speed.
Also, what's your phone model again? N64 emulation at full speed using the stepping you mentioned is not possible, you're reading something wrong.
I have a g2x. It has a 1ghz dual core, which I undervolted to 216 Mhz. It runs almost full speed for the most part, it does stutter when there is too many sprites on screen. But it doesn't happen often enough to be a real problem
In other words, it doesn't run full speed. N64 emulation is difficult, especially on portable devices. Have a look at what the Wii manages to do in terms of emulating the N64 - it's anything but accurate and the 3DS has less horsepower.
What I'm saying is that some less resource-heavy and calculation-heavy games may very well work but don't count on huge compatibility or full speed emulation.
wow... nevermind what i said. I knew something must have been wrong. My cpu app didn't properly set the speed, it left it at 1100 mhz. But I did set it properly this time and it's playable at 216mhz

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs -
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G. -

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
