Doom 3 and Dreamcast are probably going to be the limits I would guess.
I think Doom 3 is more likely though. I'm hoping dreamcast will make it though. If it does, then the Pandora is worth infinitely more to me (but since I already pre-ordered then it's obviously worth plenty to me now)

God I'm old.
Even if DC is emulated, I doubt it run at good frame rates. You can hope if you want, I just don't expect to ever see it happen to a truly playable/enjoyable degree. But I would be very happy if some brilliant genius coder proves me wrong. 
I've been surrpised before - UltraHLE back in the day, gpSP more recently... But DC is a really powerful piece of hardware to emulate.
I do think good N64 emulation is a realistic goal though.

if you build the mods it's perfectly capable, look what they did in the 60'sfiveseven said:

Seriously, I think we can see NullDC running at 50-75%. PSP had it at 10% streight away, so I think with the speed boost the pandora has over the PSP (3X), plus some optimization (2X), it should be able to handle DC at about 60%.
That would be the limit, I think.

it can do ANYTHING digitally, but the limit is how fast it can do it, and where you will put all of it's SWAP memory at
@jbr: that was CPU only, no GFX chip use, so I think we can get a good 90% with frame skips

That code had absolutely no optimization for the PSP. No dynarec, not even a line of MIPS assembly code.
Also, it's important to note that it was running at actually less than 10% speed.
You can't estimate the Pandora's speed to be 3x as fast as PSP just like that, nor can you estimate optimization. Multipliers can't be pulled out of thin air like that.
Sorry for being so abrasive, but honestly, if I didn't do it...somebody else would have.
All we can say is that it seems very unlikely Dreamcast will be emulated at fullspeed considering the power of the console, but since drkIIRaziel is pretty good, and nullDC ran on some pretty slow computers back in the day, with some good optimization, it may be possible. Since drkIIRaziel has hope that it should be possible for nullDC to run on PSP Slim, I think we can have some hope that it'll work on Pandora to at least some extent.

Personally, I would like to see homebrew devs take their 2d GPxx games and whatever else they have, and give them 3d rendered engines with lighting effects and simply throw so much eye candy into their games that it begins pushing the limit to the hardware. Sorta like Grand Theft Auto -> Grand Theft Auto II, but more extreme.
