Abdessamad Derraz e7aa9e870b fix: state libretro core versions from their code
Each libretro profile records version_basis and core_version is read
there at its pin. snes9x states 1.63 in snes9x.h, nestopia 2.0.0, mgba
0.11.0, vice 3.10, atari800's libretro tree 7.0.0. Cores whose build
takes its version from git carry the nearest tag in describe form
(flycast v2.7-90-ge88b0ce, ppsspp, duckstation, gearcoleco), placeholders
copied from .info files (Git, SVN) are replaced by the code's statement,
and a code that states none is null with kind none.

notes: |
Enhanced fork of Charles MacDonald's SMS Plus 1.3 by Eke-Eke (GX) and
gameblabla. Master System, Game Gear, ColecoVision and SG-1000 emulator.
Standalone ports also support Sord M5 (behind SORDM5_EMU compile flag,
not compiled in libretro build).
BIOS loading in bios_init() (source/ports/libretro/smsplus_libretro.c:219-268). bios.sms is
always attempted but only activated when core option smsplus_sms_bios is
"auto" (default: disabled). BIOS.col is loaded only for ColecoVision
ROMs and required for them. Standalone ports use BIOS.sms (uppercase)
instead of bios.sms.
.info marks BIOS.col as optional (firmware1_opt=true) but the libretro
code returns false from retro_load_game() when BIOS.col is missing for
.col ROMs.
files:
- name: "bios.sms"
system: sega-master-system
description: "Sega Master System boot ROM"
required: false
aliases: ["BIOS.sms"]
source_ref: "source source/ports/libretro/smsplus_libretro.c:227-245"
note: |
Loaded into bios.rom (up to 1 MB allocated). Only active when core
option smsplus_sms_bios is "auto". Displays SMS startup screen
before game execution. Standalone ports use BIOS.sms (uppercase).
- name: "BIOS.col"
system: colecovision
description: "ColecoVision BIOS ROM"
required: true
size: 8192
source_ref: "source source/ports/libretro/smsplus_libretro.c:248-264"
note: |
Required for ColecoVision games. Read as 0x2000 (8192) bytes into
coleco.rom. Without this file, retro_load_game() returns false for
.col files.
- name: "BIOS_sordm5.bin"
system: sord-m5
description: "Sord M5 BIOS ROM"
required: false
size: 8192
mode: standalone
source_ref: "source source/ports/sdl/smsplus.c:321-329"
note: |
Read as 0x2000 (8192) bytes into coleco.rom (shared buffer). Only
in standalone builds (SORDM5_EMU define). Not compiled in libretro.
Code does not enforce presence but system needs BIOS to function.
