+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ldplayer
+is an optional utility that simply plays the audio and video from laserdisc
+CHD files. It actually emulates and therefore behaves just like a real
+laserdisc player \- you can pause, fast-forward, rewind, and all the rest.
+.\"
+.\"
+.\" NOTES chapter
+.SH NOTES
+First of all, you need to go to your MAME ROMs folder and make a copy of
+\fBcubeqst.zip\fP (the ROMs for Cube Quest). Rename it as \fBpr8210.zip\fP.
+.P
+Next, run ldplayer.
+Note that the first path in the \fB\-rompath\fP option is the full path
+to the \fBpr8210.zip\fP file and the second is the full path to the laserdisc
+CHD file you wish to play. \fINote\fP the backslash and the semicolon
+\- \fB\\;\fP \- between them.
+.P
+Once ldplayer is running, you can hit \fBTAB\fP like usual and check out
+Inputs (this game) to see the controls. Space is the Play/Pause button, for
+instance. Note that some laserdiscs (notably Cube Quest) have 30 seconds or
+more of nothing at the start, so you either need to be patient or use
+fast-forward to start seeing video.
