+
+## Compatible game versions
+
+This software has been tested with all variants of the 1.1 US release.
+
+This includes the GOG.com and Steam re-releases.
+
+
+## Installation instructions for Windows users
+
+There are different methods to use swe1r-patcher, each has it's own benefits and drawbacks.
+
+### DLL method (recommended)
+
+This method sits between DirectX and the game to wait until the game is about to begin.
+This makes it compatible with the Steam release, as it happens after DRM checks.
+However, it might be incompatible with other software that uses the same trick.
+
+- Copy "dinput.dll" and "textures" folder into your game directory.
+- Run `swep1rcr.exe` to start the game.
+
+### Loader method
 
+This manually modifies the game in memory.
+Due to security restrictions, this does not work for everyone.
+Also, because the modifications happen very early, it's incompatible with the Steam release.
+
+- Copy "swe1r-loader.exe" and "textures" folder into your game directory (must contain "swep1rcr.exe").
+- Run `swe1r-loader.exe` to start the game.
+
+### Patcher method
+
+This changes your "swep1rcr.exe" file permanently.
+Because this method does not run the game directly, the patcher also works on macOS and Linux.
+However, it is compatible with other hacks, but incompatible with the Steam release because of DRM checks.
+
+- Make a backup copy of your "swep1rcr.exe".
+- Run `swe1r-patcher.exe <path-to-your-swep1rcr.exe>`.
+- Run `swep1rcr.exe` to start the game.
