 Daphne: the First Ever Multiple Arcade Laserdisc Emulator
 =========================================================

+
 Daphne, the First Ever Multiple Arcade Laserdisc Emulator is a program 
 that lets one play the original versions of many laserdisc arcade games 
 on one's PC.
 
 The official website for Daphne is http://www.daphne-emu.com.
 
----
+This is a fork from [DavidGriffith's work](https://github.com/DavidGriffith/daphne), and we are pretty outdated.
+If you want to use a newer version, you should use the SDL2 port from [DirtBagXon](https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe).
+
+### Here is the link: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe
 
-As development for Daphne has stopped, this repository is intended as 
-something of a continuation until the author decides to do something 
-official.
+There is no good reason to use this outdated version, except if you are
+having bugs with the SDL2 version, you are impatient and you have fun by messing with outdated code (which was my case).

+## Where to place this project in your computer
+
+I suggest you create a folder called "games" in your home, another called "arcade" inside it,
+and download this project inside it via git-clone.
+So, you will have a "$HOME/games/arcade/daphne/", which will have the binary after compiling it.
+
+The current practice is to place the disc images, roms and other media in "$HOME/.daphne" (a hidden folder),
+but I really don't think it is a good idea for several reasons.
+**You will need to copy or move "daphne/pics" and "daphne/sound" into this hidden folder**.
+I suggest you to place the singe games (such as Mad Dog McCree) in "$HOME/games/arcade/daphne/singe/" and
+vldp games (such as Dragon's Lair) in "$HOME/games/arcade/daphne/vldp_dl/".
+
+*ATTENTION*: Daphne needs the games to have specific names and specific places to run.
+So Dragon's Lair frames goes in "$HOME/games/arcade/daphne/vldp_dl/lair/", and its rom at
+"$HOME/games/arcade/daphne/vldp_dl/roms/". The standard Daphne's name for its rom is "lair.zip"
+(in Mame this **exact same rom** is called "dlair.zip").
+Following this pattern, Mad Dog McCree frames should be placed at "$HOME/games/daphne/singe/maddog".
+
+Obviously you can change this pattern...
+
+Anyway, there are two good scripts from DavidGriffith called "run.sh" and "singe.sh",
+which will run Dragon's Lair and Mad Dog McCree, respectively. Open the scripts and study them (they are
+pointing to "$HOME/.daphne").
+I changed them a little and renamed them to "run_vldp.sh" and "run_singe.sh"
+(which are pointing to "$HOME/games/arcade/daphne"). Their settings worked fine on my raspberry pi 4b.
