+===== Fallout 1: How to install game =====
 Create empty file ''Fallout.f1ce'' in ''/userdata/roms/fallout1-ce'' for example with ''touch "/userdata/roms/fallout1-ce/Fallout.f1ce"''
+==== Configuration ====
+The main configuration file is ''fallout.cfg''. There are several important settings you might need to adjust for your installation. Depending on your Fallout distribution main game assets ''master.dat'', ''critter.dat'', and ''data'' folder might be either all lowercased, or all uppercased. You can either update ''master_dat'', ''critter_dat'', ''master_patches'' and ''critter_patches'' settings to match your file names, or rename files to match entries in your ''fallout.cfg''.
+The ''sound'' folder (with ''music'' folder inside) might be located either in ''data'' folder, or be in the Fallout folder. Update ''music_path1'' setting to match your hierarchy, usually it's ''data/sound/music/'' or ''sound/music/''. Make sure it match your path exactly (so it might be ''SOUND/MUSIC/'' if you've installed Fallout from CD). Music files themselves (with ''ACM'' extension) should be all uppercased, regardless of ''sound'' and ''music'' folders.
+The second configuration file is ''f1_res.ini''. Use it to change game window size and enable/disable fullscreen mode.
+<code=ini>
+[MAIN]
+SCR_WIDTH=1280
+SCR_HEIGHT=720
+WINDOWED=1
+</code>
+Recommendations:
+  * **Desktops**: Use any size you see fit.
+  * **Tablets**: Set these values to logical resolution of your device, for example iPad Pro 11 is 1668x2388 (pixels), but it's logical resolution is 834x1194 (points).
+  * **Mobile phones**: Set height to 480, calculate width according to your device screen (aspect) ratio, for example Samsung S21 is 20:9 device, so the width should be 480 * 20 / 9 = 1067.

+The third configuration file is ''ddraw.ini'' (part of Sfall). There are dozens of options that adjust or override engine behaviour and gameplay mechanics. This file is intended for modders and advanced users. Currently only a small subset of these settings are actually implemented.
