+Mednafen PSX (Beetle PSX) is a Sony PlayStation1 video game system
+emulator that can be used as a libretro core. It is a libretro port of
+Mednafen PlayStation.
+
+Mednafen-PSX requires the following BIOS image files for operation:
+
+* scph5500.bin (MD5 sum: 8dd7d5296a650fac7319bce665a6a53c) NTSC-J
+* scph5501.bin (MD5 sum: 490f666e1afb15b7362b406ed1cea246) NTSC-U
+* scph5502.bin (MD5 sum: 32736f17079d0b2b7024407c39bd3050) PAL
+
+The bios names are case sensitive.
+
+The scph7003.bin BIOS image is the same as scph5501.bin, but will need
+to be renamed to scph5501.bin to be used.
+
+Mednafen can load CD-ROM games from a ripped/dumped copy of the
+disc such as CUE+BIN, CloneCD "CCD/IMG/SUB" rips and cdrdao "TOC"
+files. For games with more than one CD create a M3U file(plain-text,
+".m3u" extension) and enter the filenames of the CUE/TOC/CCD files.
+
+Beetle PSX can use an OpenGL or Vulkan renderer instead of the
+accurate software renderer. This will require support in the libretro
+frontend, video card and driver.
+
+To switch between OpenGL and Vulkan renderers configure the video
+driver in RetroArch. This can be done in the menu at 'Settings >
+Drivers > Video Driver'.
+
+To build the OpenGL renderer use:
+ OPENGL=1 ./beetle-psx-libretro.SlackBuild
+
+To build the Vulkan renderer use:
+ VULKAN=1 ./beetle-psx-libretro.SlackBuild
+
+To build both the OpenGL and Vulkan renderers use:
+ HW=1 ./beetle-psx-libretro.SlackBuild
+
+To build the debugging symbols use:
+ DEBUG=1 ./beetle-psx-libretro.SlackBuild
