notes: |
  Libretro port of Mednafen's Virtual Boy emulation module.
  No external BIOS or firmware files. The Virtual Boy has no boot
  ROM; the V810 CPU executes directly from the game ROM mapped at
  0x07000000. Load() in libretro.cpp:1787 takes only ROM data.
  Upstream Mednafen supports an optional vb.pal palette file
  (Documentation/vb.html); the libretro port handles palette via
  core options instead.
