 ===== BIOS =====
-The BIOS files aren't strictly required for emulation, but can dramatically improve compatibility and accuracy.  For best results, place ''laser310.zip'' in the ''bios/'' folder, with the following contents:
+^ MD5 checksum ^ Share file path ^ Description ^
+| ''42c8f9e6c2133ae0e953b89ccbbdb7e2'' | ''bios/laser310.zip'' | ''vtechv20.u12'': BASIC V2.0 |

 ===== ROMs =====
 Place your VTech Laser 310 ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/laser310/''.
+Using snapshot (.vz) files is recommended, as these are binary memory dumps with a simple header, which can be automatically bootstrapped by MAME.  Cassette formats will require keyboard interaction from the user (''CLOAD'' followed by the F2 key to start the tape).
 ===== Emulators =====
