notes: |
  Same codebase as dosbox_svn_ce, builds against a fake SDL shim
  (WITH_FAKE_SDL=1) instead of real SDL, for broader platform compat.
  ref: libretro/Makefile.libretro, libretro/fakesdl/

  No MT-32 emulation. src/midi/munt referenced in Makefile.common:15
  does not exist, no MUNT submodule. MIDI is hardware-only
  (ALSA, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI, Win32, OSS) + retro_midi_interface.
  ref: src/gui/midi.cpp

  system_directory set and logged (libretro.cpp:1399-1401), never used
  to load files. Config uses retro_save_directory (cross.cpp:61-71).
  Keyboard layouts and codepages embedded in binary.
  ref: dos_keyboard_layout_data.h, dos_codepages.h

  .info firmware_count=0, matches code.
