notes: |
  Libretro port of Mednafen's NeoPop module (originally by neopop_uk).
  HLE BIOS only, constructed at runtime by bios_install() in
  mednafen/ngp/bios.c. No external BIOS or firmware files loaded.
  Upstream Mednafen also uses HLE only (Documentation/ngp.html:
  "BIOS is HLE'd"). The only core option is ngp_language
  (english/japanese).
