Technical notes

CPS-1/CPS-2 subset of FinalBurn Neo, current codebase (not frozen). Exists for platforms that cannot run the full FBNeo core.

CPS-1 and CPS-2 have no system BIOS. Each game ROM set is self-contained: 68000 program + Z80 sound + GFX + QSound samples (CPS-2).

Zero BRF_BIOS entries in d_cps1.cpp and d_cps2.cpp. QSound emulated in software (qs_c.cpp:QscInit, panning table). No DSP ROM needed.

Board PLDs (buf1, ioa1, prg1/prg2, rom1, sou1) are BRF_OPT — GAL/PAL dumps for hardware preservation, never loaded by the emulator.

hiscore.dat enables persistent high scores across all arcade games.

ROM path: game ZIPs loaded from content directory. system/fbneo/ used for hiscore.dat, samples, cheats, blend files, IPS patches.
