+This is a free and portable Atari 8-bit computer and 5200 console
+emulator, originally written by David Firth and now developed by the
+Atari800 Development Team. This program is copyrighted and released
+under the GPL.
This build uses SDL for audio, and SDL+OpenGL for video by default. To
build without OpenGL support (SDL software rendering only), set OPENGL=no
in the script's environment.
-To run Atari software with atari800, you'll need the Atari system ROMs.
-These are packaged on SBo as atari800_roms.
+Starting with version 4.0.0, atari800 includes free replacements for the
+system ROMs, from the Altirra project. This allows you to run most Atari
+software without installing the original ROMs. However, for maximum
+compatibility, you'll need the Atari system ROMs. These are packaged
+on SBo as atari800_roms. After installing the ROMs, use the built-in
+menu in atari800 to set the paths (/usr/share/atari800/atari800_roms/*)
+and disable the built-in Altirra ROMs.
+
+When upgrading to 4.0.0, if the Atari's display is 'washed out' (too
+bright), remove your old "~/.atari800.cfg".
