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

GBA emulator by Philippe Daouadi (2009-2011), libretro port by Hans-Kristian Arntzen. HLE BIOS in ameteor/source/bios.cpp handles SWI calls via Cpu::SoftwareInterrupt() when HasBios() is false (ameteor/source/cpu.cpp:245-311). The libretro port never calls LoadBios() and never queries RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY. Standalone frontends (GTK, text) support optional real BIOS loading.
