notes: |
  M2000 is a Philips P2000T home computer emulator by Dion Olsthoorn,
  based on the original emulator by Marcel de Kogel (1997). The libretro
  port is maintained by the same author in the same repository.

  All ROMs are embedded in the binary via m2000_roms.h:
    - monitor_rom (4096 bytes, 0x0000-0x0FFF)
    - basic_nl_rom (16384 bytes, 0x1000-0x4FFF)
    - SAA5050 teletext font (m2000_saa5050.h)

  retro_init() calls InitP2000(monitor_rom, basic_nl_rom) which copies
  the embedded arrays into ROM memory (P2000.c:282-311). No system
  directory access. The core accepts .cas cassette content and can boot
  directly into P2000T BASIC with no content loaded.
