the core binary or loaded from the bundled dat/ directory built alongside
the core. No BIOS, firmware, or external system files are required. Save
files are stored in the RetroArch save directory.

TempGBA is a Game Boy Advance emulator forked from gpSP. Originally
developed for the Nintendo DS homebrew scene, the libretro port wraps
the dynarec-based GBA engine for use in RetroArch.
The GBA BIOS (gba_bios.bin) is optional. TempGBA includes HLE BIOS
stubs inherited from gpSP that handle most SWI calls. The real BIOS
improves boot logo display and SWI accuracy for a small number of
titles.
BIOS file goes in the system directory as gba_bios.bin (same path
used by gpSP and mGBA).

Quake III Arena and Star Trek Voyager Elite Force source ports. Built from
ioquake3 with the libretro backend. vitaquake3 plays Quake III Arena and
Team Arena, vitavoyager plays Star Trek Voyager Elite Force (Holomatch
multiplayer). Both cores accept .pk3 extensions. Content is loaded from the
.pk3 file path - the engine resolves the parent directory structure to find
baseq3/ (or baseEF/ for vitavoyager) and loads pak0.pk3 through pak8.pk3
sequentially. Game data files (.pk3 archives containing maps, textures,
models, shaders, sounds) come from the retail game, not engine firmware.
No files are required in the RetroArch system directory. The cores need
no BIOS or firmware.
