+Game Data
+---------
+gzdoom is only a game engine. To actually play the game, you'll need the
+game data (IWAD file) from one or more of the supported games. These
+include Doom, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, FreeDoom, Heretic, Hexen,
+and Strife.  Place the .wad file(s) in /usr/share/games/doom.
+
+If you don't own any of the supported games, you can install one or more
+of these slackbuilds.org packages to get a playable game:
+
+freedoom, doom_shareware_data, heretic_shareware_data, hexen_demo_data
+
+Music Support
+-------------
+To hear the in-game music, there are several options. In the game menu,
+select "Options | Sound Options" and set "MIDI Device" to one of the
+below:
+
+1. FMOD (the default) - Install ff8dls and set the console variable
+snd_midipatchset to "/usr/share/sounds/dls/ff8.dls" (from the in-game
+console or by editing ~/.config/gzdoom/zdoom.ini). Alternatively,
+if you dual-boot with Windows, use something like
+/dosC/windows/system32/drivers/gm.dls (replace dosC with the mountpoint
+of your C: drive in Windows).
+
+2. FluidSynth - Install fluidsynth (before building gzdoom) and
+fluid-soundfont.
+
+3. Timidity - Install TiMidity++ and either eawpats or freepats, and
+set up /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg to use it.
+
+4. GUS or OPL - Nothing extra required; these are software emulations
+of classic soundcards from the early 1990s. They may sound "clunky" to
+modern ears, but they may also bring back fond memories for long-time
+Doom players.
+
+While you're in the Sound Options menu, it's probably a good idea to
+set "Output System" to "ALSA" (otherwise, the default is OSS emulation,
+which doesn't share the soundcard nicely with other apps).
