Technical notes
Frozen 2015 snapshot of DeSmuME. The core emulator code supports external BIOS/firmware (PrepareBiosARM7/ARM9 in NDSSystem.cpp:1974-2050), but UseExtBIOS defaults to false (NDSSystem.h:497) and the libretro frontend never sets it — no desmume_use_external_bios core option exists in this version. Uses HLE BIOS stubs when external BIOS not loaded.
No BIOS or firmware files required.
Why no files
.info declares firmware_count=3 but libretro frontend never enables external BIOS loading (UseExtBIOS defaults false in NDSSystem.h:497, never set in libretro.cpp)
