# AmiArcadia is a libretro port of James Jacobs' emulator for Signetics
# 2636 PVI / 2637 UVI + 2650 CPU-based systems: Emerson Arcadia 2001 and
# clones (Bandai, Grandstand, Schmid, Hanimex, Leisurevision, etc.),
# Interton VC 4000 family (Voltmace, Rowtron, Fountain, etc.), Elektor
# TV Games Computer, and Zaccaria/Malzak coin-op arcade machines.
#
# The core does NOT require any BIOS or system ROM files.
# firmware_count = 0 in amiarcadia_libretro.info confirms this.
#
# ROM identification:
#   The core auto-identifies known game ROMs by CRC32 and configures the
#   correct machine type, memory map, and game-specific settings. For
#   unknown ROMs, the user selects machine type via the "Machine" core
#   option (Arcadia / Interton).
#
# Supported extensions: .bin, .tvc
#
# Source ref: libretro-core-info/amiarcadia_libretro.info (firmware_count = 0)
# Docs: https://docs.libretro.com/library/amiarcadia/

notes: |
  No BIOS files required. The emulator has no external firmware dependencies.
  Game ROMs are identified by CRC32 for automatic machine configuration.
