Tweaks to the FAQ and meta info to reflect progress

Browse Source 
Citra has progressed to the point where it would be false
to say that it can not play any commercial games whatsoever.
The FAQ has been slightly changed to reflect this fact, and the
page's meta information has also been likewise tweaked.

<h1>About Citra</h1>
<h3>What is Citra?</h3>
<p>Citra is a <b>work-in-progress</b> emulator for the Nintendo 3DS.</p>
<p>Citra is a <b>work-in-progress</b> 3DS emulator. Citra can currently emulate, with varying degrees of success,
a wide variety of different homebrew programs and commercial software. </p>
<h3>What can it do?</h3>
<p>It can currently emulate <a href="https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib">ctrulib</a>-built homebrew
programs, such as <a href="https://github.com/smealum/yeti3DS">Smealum's port of Yeti3D</a>.</p>
<p>Citra is also beginning to run some commercial games, but all are very broken and unplayable.</p>
<h3>Can I play &lt;insert retail game here&gt;?</h3>
<p>In nice, bold letters: <b>No! Citra is not ready yet!</b>. You can <b>not</b> play Pokémon, Super
Mario Bros., or any of your other favorite 3DS games yet. </p>
<p>If you check back in a year or two, this may no longer be the case.</p>
<h3>Does that mean I can play &lt;insert retail game here&gt;?</h3>
<p>Citra can, ostensibly, "play" many different games, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Animal
Crossing. Many games, however, will not load at all, only showing a black screen. Many other games will
only show the title screen and then freeze, or crash.</p>
<p>You can expect almost all games to run incredibly slowly, though, and to exhibit many gameplay and graphical
glitches.</p>
<p>If you're interested in 3DS emulation as an experiment, you may gain something out of trying Citra, but if
you're simply looking to play games then stick to your 3DS handheld.</p>
<h3>What platforms does Citra support?</h3>
<p>We're pleased to say that Citra works on all three major desktop OSs!</p>

targeted as well.</p>
<h3>What kind of specs do I need to run Citra?</h3>
<p>Citra currently uses an interpreter to emulate the 3DS's CPU, as well as a software renderer for the
GPU. As one might imagine, this is very inefficient, so it is doubtful that most (if any!) consumer
hardware would be fast enough to run at full-speed.</p>
<p>In short, there's no real recommended hardware, but suffice it to say that you want the fastest
possible processor, and a graphics chip that supports <b>at least OpenGL 3.2</b>.</p>
<p>Citra currently uses (very slow!) interpreters to emulate both the 3DS's CPU and 3DS vertex shaders. Your
computer is simply not fast enough to run almost any commercial game at full speed.</p>
<p>The only <em>hard</em> requirement for Citra is a graphics chip that supports <b>at least OpenGL 3.2</b>,
but you definitely want a processor with the highest possible performance per core.</p>
