+jzintv is an emulator and development environment for the Mattel
+Intellivision game console.
+
+The Intellivision console contains code in the form of ROM. jzintv
+requires images of these ROMs in order to run. This package does not
+contain the ROM images due to copyright concerns. You can use the ROMs
+from the commercially available "Intellivision Lives!" CD-ROM, dump the
+ROMs from an Intellivision console, or attempt to find the ROMs on the
+'net somewhere. These are the same ROMs used by the MESS emulator,
+usually found as "intv.zip". Contents:
+
+exec.bin, 8192 bytes, md5sum 62e761035cb657903761800f4437b8af
+grom.bin, 2048 bytes, md5sum 0cd5946c6473e42e8e4c2137785e427f
+
+Your md5sums may not match, since Mattel released several versions of the
+ROMs. The above are known to work, but other versions might also work.
+jzintv looks for the .bin files, not the .zip file.
+
+Once you have the ROM images, place them in the /usr/share/jzintv/rom
+directory.
