 ===============================
 
+Improved HDMI compatibility by fixing an edge case where nothing but vertical
+colored lines were shown on screen.

+
+Version 1.0 - October 24, 2023
+==============================
+
 This version introduces HDMI support (audio and video) to the core and it
 allows you to use both SD card slots, while the slot on the back side of the
 MEGA65 takes precedence over the bottom slot in case two cards are inserted.

+ZX-Uno for MEGA65 Version 1.1
+=============================
+
+ZX-Uno for MEGA65 Version 1.1 is stable and feature-rich. Thanks to ESXDOS and
+SD card support, loading software is easy. You can play a ton of classic
+ZX Spectrum games with it, including AY-3-8910 sound and thanks to ULAplus
+support certain games look even better than back in the good old days. Also,
+most demos and application programs are working. Last but not least, you can
+program in 48k BASIC.
+
+The core is compatible with the R3 (DevKits) and R3A versions of the MEGA65.
+If you received your MEGA65 before November 2023, you very likely have an R3
+or R3A model, making this core suitable for your device. It neither supports
+the R2 prototype any more (R2 users can still use Version 0.8 of the core),
+nor does it support R4/R5 boards (most recent MEGA65 batches scheduled for
+early 2024).
+
+The video output is either analog via the VGA port of the MEGA65 or digital
+via the HDMI port. Audio output is supported via the 3.5mm analog audio jack
+and via HDMI audio.
+
+### Getting Started
+
+Make sure that you insert a prepared and FAT32 formatted SD card which is
+32 GB in size (or smaller) as described here before trying to start the core:
+
+https://github.com/sy2002/zxuno4mega65/wiki/Getting-Started
+
+The ZX-Uno is not for the faint at heart, so make sure that you work
+through the tutorial.
+ 
+### Features
+
+* The ZX-Uno core runs flawlessly (CPU, ULA incl. ULAplus, RAM, ROM, ...)
+* 48k BASIC
+* Analog (PAL 576p @ 50 Hz via the VGA port) and
+  digital (HDMI port) video output
+* Analog (3.5mm analog audio jack) and digital (HDMI) audio output
+* Keyboard with a convenient key mapping
+* Joysticks
+* Ability to emulate a joystick via cursor keys. By default, a Sinclair
+  joystick is emulated.
+* SD-Cards via ESXDOS
+
+### List of not, yet working features

+* Mouse
+* Attaching a real tape player via EAR
+* MIDI
+* UART
+* PZX Player
