Technical notes

Multi-system emulator by skylersaleh. Libretro core built from the upstream repo. All BIOS optional; bundles Cult-of-GBA BIOS (GBA), DraStic free BIOS (NDS ARM7/ARM9), stub firmware (NDS), and HLE boot skip (GB/GBC). BIOS loading controlled by core options (default: on). Files loaded from system_dir/SkyEmu/ subdirectory. Standalone validates exact BIOS file size; libretro only rejects files exceeding buffer. .info missing gb_bios.bin (gb.h:1603).
