+
+=head1 FILES
+
+ROM image files may be in raw dump format, or may have a header
+(details are system-specific). Also, ROM images may be zipped (not
+gzipped), in which case the first file in the zip file's directory must
+be the ROM image (any other files are ignored).
+
+B<sms_sdl> looks at the filename to determine the type of ROM image
+in use. Any file whose name ends in I<.gg> (case-insensitive match) is
+considered to be a Game Gear ROM. Any other file is treated as a Sega
+Master System ROM. In the case of a zipped image, this refers to the
+file inside the zip file; the zip file itself doesn't have any special
+naming requirements.
+
+Screenshot filenames (F1 key) are generated by replacing the filename
+extension with I<-NNN.bmp>, where NNN is a 3-digit number (000 for the
+first screenshot, 001 for the second, etc). The numbering starts at 000
+every time the emulator is started, and existing files will be overwritten
+without confirmation.
+
+State save filenames (F2 key) are generated by replacing the filename
+extension with I<.stN>, where N is the number of the save slot (one or
+more digits). Again, existing files are overwritten without confirmation.
+
+Screenshots and savestates are stored in I<~/.sms_sdl>.
+
+=head1 CONFIG FILE
+
+B<sms_sdl> is launched by a shell script wrapper which reads the file
+I<~/.sms_sdl/config> if it exists. Any of the options above may be placed
+in this file (one option per line, with or without the leading B<-->
+characters). These options will be passed as command-line arguments to
+the real B<sms_sdl> binary every time it runs.
+
+See B</usr/doc/sms_sdl-VERSION/sample_config> for further information.
+
