Executive Summary
This project will be to make the beagleboard in to a functional mobile gaming system. The idea is to use emulators, buttons, and a lcd screen to allow the user to play games from multiple systems.

As the project stands there are several things that we have decided for the project. The first is that we are going to use a LCD7 Cap as our display. Additionally we have decided to attempt to control the games with an xbox controller. We have the controller available but have yet to attempt to use it with the board. Lastly we have narrowed down our systems that we may emulate down to playstation1, game cub, snes, and gameboy advanced. The current goals are to get the cape and the xbox controller to work before moving on to emulating a system.
