-ES-DE (EmulationStation Desktop Edition) is a frontend for browsing and
-launching games from your multi-platform game collection. It supports
-more than 100 game systems and features a built-in scraper for artwork
-and metadata, fully customizable themes, complete controller navigation,
-collections (favorites, last played, custom) and video previews.
+ES-DE (EmulationStation Desktop Edition) is a frontend for browsing
+and launching games from your multi-platform game collection. It
+supports more than 150 game systems and is available for Linux,
+macOS, Windows, and Android.
 
-This package provides ES-DE version 2.2.1, the last release of the 2.x
-branch. It is specifically chosen for Slackware 15.0 compatibility, as
-it uses the ffmpeg 4.x API which matches the system ffmpeg (4.4.x)
-included in Slackware 15.0.
+Features include a built-in scraper for artwork and metadata,
+fully customizable themes, complete controller navigation support,
+collections (favorites, last played, custom), video previews, and
+a comprehensive user guide.
 
-NOTE: ES-DE 3.x requires ffmpeg 5.x or newer and is NOT compatible
-with Slackware 15.0's system ffmpeg. Use this 2.2.1 package for 15.0.
-For Slackware -current, the ES-DE 3.x SlackBuild is recommended instead.
+REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES (not included in Slackware -current at date):
+  - FreeImage  (from SBo)
+  - libgit2    (from SBo)
+  - pugixml    (from SBo)
 
-The application updater (checks for new releases on startup) is
-disabled in this build, as recommended for packaged distributions.
+The following dependencies ARE included in Slackware -current at date:
+  - SDL2
+  - ffmpeg
+  - freetype2
+  - harfbuzz
+  - curl
+  - gettext
+  - poppler
+  - icu4c (libicu)
+
+The application updater (which checks for new releases on startup)
+is disabled in this build as is recommended for packaged distributions.
+You can re-enable it by removing -DAPPLICATION_UPDATER=off from the
+cmake invocation in the SlackBuild script.
 
 After installation, ES-DE will look for ROMs in ~/ROMs by default.
 On first startup you will be prompted to set the ROM directory if
-no games are found. Configuration files are stored in ~/ES-DE/
+no games are found.
+
+Configuration files are stored in ~/ES-DE/
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SLACKWARE 15.0 USERS:
+
+This package requires ffmpeg 5.x or newer due to API changes introduced
+in that version. Slackware 15.0 ships ffmpeg 4.4.x, which is NOT
+compatible with ES-DE 3.x. Attempting to build this package on
+Slackware 15.0 will fail at compile time with errors related to
+deprecated or removed symbols in the ffmpeg libraries (libavcodec,
+libavfilter, libavformat, libavutil).
+
+If you are running Slackware 15.0, please use the ES-DE 2.2.1
+SlackBuild instead. That release targets the ffmpeg 4.x API and
+is fully compatible with the system ffmpeg included in Slackware 15.0.
+
+This SlackBuild is intended for Slackware -current only.
