+colem (ColecoVision emulator)
+
 ColEm is a portable emulator of the old ColecoVision videogame console.
 It should run most ColecoVision games and supports Coleco's SuperAction
 controllers with spin wheels.
 
-In order to run ColecoVision games, you will need a copy of the system 
-ROM image, but for copyright reasons, no ROM image is included.  The
-file is generally called "coleco.rom" or "coleco.zip" (which contains
-"coleco.rom").  If you own a ColecoVision console, depending on the laws
-where you live, it may or may not be legal for you to use a copy of the 
-ROM.  If it's legal, you can either crack open your console, remove the 
-ROM chip, and read the data from it...  or use google-fu to find an 
-already-dumped image file.  Legal issues aside, you have 2 ways to 
-provide the ROM image for the emulator to use:
+ColEm uses OSS for audio, so you'll have to either load the OSS
+emulation modules (via /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa-oss), run it as "aoss colem"
+from the command line, or launch it from your desktop by opening a .cv
+or .col file.
 
-1. Place either "coleco.rom" or "coleco.zip" (containing "coleco.rom") in
-the directory with the SlackBuild script.  The resulting package will 
-include the ROM image in "usr/share/colem/coleco.rom".  If you do this,
-DO NOT give anyone a copy of the package!  Using the ROM might possibly
-be legal, but bundling it with ColEm is against the ColEm license.

-2. Build the package without the ROM image.  After installing the
-package, manually place a copy of "coleco.rom" in "/usr/share/colem/"
-or "~/.colem/".
+1. Buld the package with the ROM image:
 
-Note about the sources: It appears that every time upstream releases a
-new version, the download link for the previous version is removed.  If
-you are unable to download the source, try visiting the home page and
-look for a new version of ColEm.  If this is the case, please contact
-the maintainer of this script (see the .info file)

+  DO NOT give anyone a copy of the package! Using the ROM might possibly
+  be legal, but bundling it with ColEm is against the ColEm license.
 
-By default, ColEm is built for 24- and 32-bit color depth X11 displays.
-If you intend to run ColEm on an 8- or 16-bpp display, set either
-DISPLAY_BPP=8 or DISPLAY_BPP=16 in the script's environment.

+# - clean up README formatting, get rid of bpp stuff, mention OSS audio

+=item coleco.rom
+
+ColecoVision BIOS ROM image (8192 bytes). This is the only ROM required for playing ColecoVision games.

+
+SmartWriter ROM (32768 bytes), only required for emulating the Coleco ADAM system.

+
+The above ROM images may be named in all-lowercase or all-uppercase, and are searched for in:
+
+1. The directory specified by -home, or the current directory if -home not given.
+
+2. /usr/share/colem/
+
+3. ~/.colem/
+
+The coleco.rom file will occasionally be found on websites with the names "os7.rom" or "ColecoVision BIOS (1982).col". Its md5sum is one of:
+
+ 2c66f5911e5b42b8ebe113403548eee7 (original version)
+ 00fd13b66d39c69706aa48eb84a78411 (hacked version, different font)
+ 47f7180592a00b9631c97a12ff0fdd3c (hacked version, no title screen delay)
+
+ColEm works with any of the above ROM images.
