 ## Background
 
-VirtualXT is an IBM PC/XT emulator that runs on modern hardware and operating systems. It is designed to be simple and lightweight yet still capable enough to run a large library of old application and games.

 The core has no external dependacies. You only need to load the .so/dll file and preferably install the .info file and you are good to go.
 
 The default system emulated is a XT class machine with an Intel 8088 CPU. This means that most DOS games form the 90's wont run. VirtualXT is intended to run older CGA games and applications from the 80's, like PC booters.
+There is also optional support for 80186 CPU's and VGA adapters if you want to try some more "modern" software.
 
 ## BIOS
 
-BIOS is integerated in the core and can currently not be replaced or changed.
+There is an option to use [GLaBIOS](https://github.com/640-KB/GLaBIOS/) or [TurboXT BIOS 3.1](https://www.phatcode.net/downloads.php?id=101). Both are included in the core.
 
 ## Extensions
 
 Content that can be loaded by the VirtualXT core have the following file extensions:
 
 - .img
-- .zip

-(Zip archives are read-only and any state will be lost after reboot.)

 ## Device types
 
 The VirtualXT core supports the following device type(s), bolded device type(s) are required:
 
-- Joystick - Analog
 - **Keyboard** - Keyboard
 - Mouse
 
 ## Compatibility
 
-This core emulates a Intel 8088 CPU running at 4.77 Mhz just like the original IBM 5150/5160. This is quite a slow system and the original 8088 only operates in real-mode. This means that no protected-mode or 32 bit applications will run. Most DOS software from the 90's requires a VGA card and a later CPU.

 Try software released in the 80's, like classic PC booters.
