+Epilepsy Warning
+----------------
+
+A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when
+exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain
+patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or computer monitor, or while
+playing video games may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals.
+
+Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in
+persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. These conditions can
+include emulation accuracy or inaccuracy, computer performance at the time of
+running MAME, video card drivers, your monitor, and a lot of other factors.
+If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your
+physician prior to using MAME.
+
+If you experience any of the following while using MAME, **IMMEDIATELY**
+discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming use of MAME.
+
+* Dizziness
+* Altered vision
+* Eye or muscle twitches
+* Loss of awareness
+* Disorientation
+* Any involuntary movement
+* Convulsions
