So I've gotten Chromium to run on emulated hardware (I followed this
guide<http://www.cnx-software.com/2011/10/18/using-raspberry-pi-as-an-inter...>).
 I can successfully run this simple Rekapi
demo<http://rekapi.com/demo/bargraph.html>.
The performance isn't wonderful - I get maybe 10 frames a second.  But I'm
still really optimistic about this, as we at least have basic functionality.

Something to keep in mind - the Raspberry Pi simply is not capable of
cutting edge performance.  But with enough optimization in both the
platform and the games that run on it, I think we can make a workable
platform for SNES-quality gaming.
