 # RetroArch Web Player
 
-# Requirements
+The RetroArch Web Player is RetroArch compiled through [Emscripten](http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/). The following outlines how to compile RetroArch using Emscripten, and running it in your browser.
+
+## Compiling
+
+To compile RetroArch with Emscripten, you'll first have to [download and install the Emscripten SDK](http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/getting_started/downloads.html). Once it's loaded in your shell, you'll run something like the following...
+
+```
+mkdir ~/retroarch
+cd ~/retroarch
+git clone https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm.git
+cd libretro-fceumm
+emmake make -f Makefile.libretro platform=emscripten
+git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git ~/retroarch/RetroArch
+cp ~/retroarch/libretro-fceumm/fceumm_libretro_emscripten.bc ~/retroarch/RetroArch/dist-scripts/fceumm_libretro_emscripten.bc
+cd ~/retroarch/RetroArch/dist-scripts
+emmake ./dist-cores.sh emscripten
+```
+
+## Usage
+
 Most of the magic happens on the browser so nothing really on that regard
