Enhanced fork of Charles MacDonald's SMS Plus 1.3 by Eke-Eke (GX) and
|
|
|
|
|
gameblabla. Master System, Game Gear, ColecoVision and SG-1000 emulator.
|
|

Standalone ports also support Sord M5 (behind SORDM5_EMU compile flag,

|
|
|

not compiled in libretro build).

BIOS loading in bios_init() (smsplus_libretro.c:203-252). bios.sms is
|
|
|
|
|
always attempted but only activated when core option smsplus_sms_bios is
|

"auto" (default: disabled). BIOS.col is loaded only for ColecoVision

ROMs and required for them. Standalone ports use BIOS.sms (uppercase)

|
instead of bios.sms.

Read as 0x2000 (8192) bytes into coleco.rom (shared buffer). Only
|
|
|
|
|
in standalone builds (SORDM5_EMU define). Not compiled in libretro.
|
|
|
|
|
Code does not enforce presence but system needs BIOS to function.
