I've left out a couple of games that I've observed most emulators to have problems running (I'd like to verify whether they work before I recommend them to anyone :p). I hope that's ok.

Platforming;
Mega Man 8 - 2D platformer
Mega Man X4 - 2D platformer
Lomax ("Lomax in Lemmingland" in NTSC regions) - 2D platformer
Heart of Darkness - 2D platformer
Rayman - 2D platformer
Klonoa - Door To Phantomile - "2.5D" platformer
Tombi! ("Tomba!" in NTSC regions) - "2.5D" platformer
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos - 3D cartoon platformer
Tail Concerto - 3D cartoon platformer/Arcade-style Cops-and-Robbers
Crash Bandicoot (series) - 3D cartoon platformers (on-rails)

Music;
Bust-A-Groove - Dancing (joypad-based)

RPG;
Wild ARMs - 2D top-down RPG

Compilation;
Namco Museum Volume 5 - Arcade compilation, recommended solely because it contains the only English translation of The Legend of Valkyrie. :p
 
keep em coming! please no repeats

jumping flash: fps/platformer
demolition derby/2: racing
Xenogears: RPG
Persona: RPG
 
Front Mission 3!

GTA 1/2 and GTA London - "YOU'RE BROWN BREAD!"

Dino Crisis 1/2

Gran Turismo 1/2

NFS - High Stakes
 
Ridge Racer (NTSC version ONLY!)
Tomb Raider 1 & 2
Driver 1 & 2
Syphon Filter 2
Riven (Probably best version that would run on the Pandora)

Why NTSC version only?
Whats the difference..

RAGE RACER! Pink MINI! Awesome!

Are we going to have any chance of getting an Action Reply OR GameShark implemented into the emulator?
I have already finished all the PSX games I wanna play, and I loved the old Action Replay for all the cool extras you can do. Like change to characters that were not playable (Ada in Resident evil 2, HUNK in Leon's story mode)..

yes, but show me another mobile device capable of EMULATING (not mobile versions of PSX) that has 2 nubs?

is the closest one into the classic gaming experience, and for the worst you could carry a usb adapter of those.

The NTSC versions were full-screen and ran noticeably smoother and faster. The PAL version was letterboxed slightly, the geometry of the cars was unchanged (so they looked a bit 'squashed') and it lost a lot of it's Arcade feel as a result. The speed difference was a real letdown, if you'd played the Japanese or US versions first.
Unless the emulator can 'force' 60hz on a PAL game, the NTSC version of Ridge Racer was substantially closer to the Arcade original in look and feel than the PAL one.

I'm not saying it won't be fun, just not as fun as when it originally came out - Analog click was new, unused and fun!

Don't take it in a bad way..

Not sure how to classify them... Puzzle Platformers I guess.
