No BIOS or firmware files required. This core is self-contained.

LaserDisc arcade game emulator. Port of Daphne 1.0 (Matt Ownby) to libretro. Each game loads its own arcade ROM set from a ZIP file named after the game (e.g. lair.zip). ROMs are loaded from a content-relative directory structure (homedir/roms/) with CRC32 verification (game.cpp:767-781). The core never accesses the RetroArch system directory. Additional per-game data (framefiles, sound samples, overlay BMPs) is also loaded relative to the content directory.
