notes: |
  Same codebase as dosbox_svn, builds against real SDL 1.2 + SDL_net
  instead of the fake SDL shim (WITH_FAKE_SDL not set).
  ref: libretro/Makefile.libretro:238

  No MT-32 emulation. src/midi/munt referenced in Makefile.common:15
  does not exist, no MUNT submodule. MIDI is hardware-only
  (ALSA, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI, Win32, OSS) + retro_midi_interface.
  ref: src/gui/midi.cpp

  system_directory set and logged (libretro.cpp:1399-1401), never used
  to load files. Config uses retro_save_directory (cross.cpp:61-73).
  Keyboard layouts and codepages embedded in binary.
  ref: dos_keyboard_layout_data.h, dos_codepages.h

  .info firmware_count=0, matches code.
