-## Cover Art
+## Emulators management
 
-Press <kbd>□</kbd> or <kbd>I</kbd> to select the cover art for the selected game.
+Emulsion finds your emulators, helps you install the ones you don’t have, and sets them up with sensible defaults (file extensions and CLI arguments) — all configurable. Emulsion is *flexible*: You can put all your Vic20 games in the C64 page if you want.
 
-### API Keys (Optional but Recommended)
+![Emulators management](https://yphil.gitlab.io/images/emulsion-emulators-n64.png?cache=x)
 
-Get **way more images** by adding these free API keys:
+Up-to-date on Linux emulators and the way they work ; Smart, [DWIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWIM) & and hassle-free.
+
+## Game Metadata & Cover Art
+
+Press <kbd>□</kbd> or <kbd>I</kbd> to select the cover art for the selected platform / game.
+
+By default, Emulsion uses Wikipedia to fetch cover images and game metadata — so even without any setup, you get images, release info, and other useful text details automatically.
+
+### Optional: Add API Keys for More Images & Data
+
+Want more options and higher-quality covers? Add free API keys to expand Emulsion’s reach:
 
 #### SteamGridDB

-2. Get your key from Preferences
-3. Paste into Emulsion Settings

-2. Paste into Emulsion Settings

+#### Image Sources
 
-- [SteamGridDB](https://www.steamgriddb.com/) (API - Best coverage)
-- [GiantBomb](https://www.giantbomb.com/api/) (API - Great metadata)
-- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/) (API - Surprising)
+- Wikipedia – default, finds both images and basic text metadata (title, release date, description, etc.)
+- SteamGridDB – API, best coverage for high-quality images
+- GiantBomb – API, actually quite poor, thinking of removing it.
