I know this is almost pointless, but what do you think has better graphics (on console) the Nintendo 64 or the PlayStation (PSOne)?

Next question is; which graphics are better of the two when run through an emulator on the N900?

Here are some study material:

Actually, I think this thread is useful if someone wants to play a particular game (eg Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2) and they don't want to waste time acquiring ROMs for both and testing which console version runs better via the dedicated emulator, for any device (N900, WM6, Android, jailbreaked iOS etc).

Wise explanations are most welcome!

*Note: this is not a comparison of which console is personally better or which one has better games or more games. This is about determining which one has better graphics and the degree that affected via the emulator. Thus this is a comparison about games that are available on both systems.

The N900 N64 emulator does some anti aliasing goodness and also it is in fullscreen.
So the graphics will look far better on the N900 than on the original N64.
As far as I remember the PSX emulator isn't able to do something similar.

If I remember correctly, the PSX uses more textures on the 3D objects and sceneries making things look 'better'.

okay, sorry guys there is a mistake in the poll. Somehow it deleted the options for:

PSX has superior graphics, tied on emulator compared to N64
PSX has superior graphics, better on emulator compared to N64

So how do I edit the Poll to add those options in?
I really want to see what you guys know/believe and I want to keep this as non-biased as possible.

The best display is the N64 for me.

IIRC, PSX has more pixels or textures on 3D objects ... but N64 uses a better shadowing.

So with the PSX you get crude but highly detailed graphics
compared to the N64 where you get much smoother but less detailed graphics.

I wonder if the emulator changes these characteristics to make one better than the other.
