As somebody that's seen sites such as Google being slightly mangled through PlanetWeb (1.0, If I'm not mistaken), that's super legit. (It also may or may not be mangled through XDP's set, custom PW or XDP...)

Yeah, that's actually a pretty good point. It was mentioned that it stripped out unsupported features, so I assume it'll keep anything compatible. If so: What does Dreamcast support? I believe Javascript was supported, albeit mostly on later browsers (I think). I honestly can't remember, it's been about a year or so since I successfully used the Internet on my Dreamcast. It feels like it was compatible with more than just HTML.
I may not know what I'm talking about. It's still interesting to see this, though... even if it's about something that I don't think people know too much about when it comes to Dreamcast (but then again, a fair bit of people in my area haven't even really heard of Dreamcast too much, let alone it having online capabilities). If this does go through, it's probably even more initiative for me to hurry up and get a Raspberry Pi and whatever else is needed.

Is this why a Genesis emulator is doomed to failure most of the time? I know that's highly off-topic, but I didn't even really know about that until I read these posts. Even then, it sounds a bit off-the-wall to say a console released in 1998 can't run a console released in 1989, about 11 years apart.
EDIT: Sorry for the unnecessary bump, I shoulda looked at the date before posting this. I'll still try to keep it here in case someone wants to continue this; this does legitimately intrigue me.
