# .info firmware_count: 0. Code verified: retro_load_game() (libretro/libretro.c:887-910)
# uses RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY only as save directory fallback.
# bgdi_main() (core/bgdi/src/main.c:80-371) loads .dcb/.dat bytecode content
# directly. No files read from system directory.

notes: |
  Self-contained interpreter for BennuGD bytecode (.dcb/.dat). Successor to
  DIV Games Studio / Fenix. Games bundle all assets with the content file.
