+
+* **Why is it named Singe?**
+
+  Singe is the name of the dragon in Dragon's Lair.  As Singe (the program) 
+  began as an add-on to Daphne (the princess in Dragon's Lair) I kept with the 
+  Dragon's Lair theme.
+
+* **What is the difference between Daphne, Singe, Hypseus, and Singe 2.x?**
+
+   Daphne is an actual laserdisc game emulator that can run a handful of
+   classic laser games.  Daphne/Singe or Singe 1.x is the original version
+   of Singe that was an add-on for the Daphne emulator.  Originally it was
+   shipped as a game DLL for Daphne and then later combined into a single
+   binary with the Daphne emulation features removed.  Hypseus-Singe is an
+   enhanced fork of Daphne with Singe 1.x and some Singe 2.x support.  Finally,
+   Singe 2.x is an all-new, built-from-scratch, upgrade of the original Singe.
+   In short, if you want accuracy, use Daphne or Hypseus if they support
+   emulating the desired game.  If it's a Singe game, use Singe 2.x or you can
+   try Hypseus.  Obviously we'd like you to use Singe 2.x.  :-)
+
+* **Why should we not call it an "emulator"?**
+
+   Emulators use the real software or ROMs from the original game and pretend
+   to be the machine they were originally intended to run on.  From the game's
+   perspective, it's business as usual.  Singe, on the other hand, requires
+   that every game be re-implemented (aka "ported") to run on Singe.  While
+   the end result may be very similar, how it works is entirely different.
+
+* **Can I run Singe 1.x games on Singe 2.x?**
+
+   Yes!  Probably.  But you likely won't want to.  Almost everything (that I
+   know of) from Singe 1.x has been converted and enhanced for Singe 2.x.
+   
+* **Why is HD video slow?**
+
+   Due to the way Singe accesses video files to provide frame seeking, it is
+   unable to offload video decoding to the video card.  High definition video
+   requires a lot of CPU!
+
+* **Why does my audio stutter?**
+
+   Users have discovered that most Singe audio and stuttering problems are
+   related to their installed audio driver - especially Realtek based devices.
+   Try updating your sound drivers or switching to the generic Windows HD Audio
+   driver.  Disable surround sound - use stereo, not 5.1 or 7.1.  If your
+   drivers do not allow you to use stereo, you can use Virtual Audio Cable
+   to fix this:  https://vb-audio.com/Cable/
+   - Install VB-CABLE.
+   - Go to Windows sound settings (right-click sound on the taskbar then Sounds
+     and then Playback).
+   - Right-click the Cable Input device and choose "Set as default device".
+     (You will lose your current sound output.  Don't panic.)
+   - Go to the Recording tab.
+   - Right-click Cable Output, then Properties, then Listen, and finally Enable
+     Listen to This Device and in the drop-down list choose your actual 
+     listening device.
+   - You should have sound again.
+   - Load up Singe, and your audio will be working and lag free!
