+Hatari is an Atari ST/STE/Falcon emulator for Linux, BSD, BeOS, Mac OS
+X and other systems that are supported by the SDL library. The Atari
+ST was a 16/32 bit computer system which was first released by Atari
+in 1985. Using the Motorola 68000 CPU, it was a very popular computer
+having quite a lot of CPU power at that time.
Unlike many other Atari ST emulators which try to give you a good
environment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the
-hardware of a ST as close as possible so that it is able to run most
+hardware of an ST as close as possible so that it is able to run most
of the old ST games and demos.
-Recommended dependency: hatari_tos_roms. hatari includes a free
-replacement called EmuTOS, but most users will want to install the real
-ROM images. Most ST software won't work without hatari_tos_roms.
+Optional dependencies:
+
+hatari_tos_roms - hatari includes a free ROM replacement called EmuTOS,
+but most applications (especially games) will require the real ROM images.
+*Highly* recommended.
+
+libcapsimage - Required if you want hatari to support KyroFlux IPF and
+CTR disk images. Recommended, but creates non-redistributable package
+(mixing GPL and no-commercial-use code). Autodetected.
+
+portaudio - Only used for emulated Falcon microphone support. Autotetected.
-Optional dependency: portaudio. Only used for emulated Falcon microphone
-support. Autotetected by the SlackBuild.
+portmidi - May offer better MIDI support than the default ALSA raw MIDI
+device support. Autodetected.
-Optional dependency: SDL2. Autodetected. If you have SDL2 installed but
-want to build hatari with SDL-1.2, set SDL2=no in the environment.
+SDL2 - Using SDL2 offers some benefits like better fullscreen support
+and resizing in windowed mode. Autodetected. If you have SDL2 installed
+but want to build hatari with SDL-1.2, export SDL2=no in the environment.
