Google's Chromebook "Samus" Now Supported By Coreboot

[TheBlackCat]

Is it a chromebook meant for gaming? Does it come with Metroid pre-installed?

It doesn't take a very powerful system to play Metroid

Will it play Metroid: Other M?

While, I'm sure you guys are joking, I'll answer anyways. According to the Dolphin-emu compatibility list, yes, you can play "Metroid: Other M". Just use the BIOS compatibility payload to load a normal Linux distribution on this Chromebook and install the emulator.

I'm not sure how well Wii/Gamecube games would run on a Chromebook.

How about Super Metroid though?

It's Retroarch and some cores ported to Javascript with Emscripten. It wouldn't even require loading a normal Linux distribution.

It's just an Intel based laptop with Google's desktop installed over Gentoo. Also, Gamecube games work surprisingly well on my laptop with Ivy Bridge.
