notes: |
Philips VG 5000 emulator by Recalbox, a C++ fork of Daniel Coulom's
DCVG5K v2. The standalone build and the libretro core live in
two repositories and share the same Engine.
The 16 KB system ROM is not a file. It is encoded in the
Video::sPixels image table compiled into the binary, one ROM bit per
entry as bit 0 XOR bit 5 (ref: source/Data.cpp:2). The Engine
constructor copies that table into sMirror (ref: source/Engine.cpp:54)
and Z80ReadW() rebuilds each ROM byte from eight table entries the
first time the CPU reads it, caching it in mMemory
(ref: source/Engine.cpp:379-389). The libretro core carries the same
table and decoder.
The libretro core can map a user cartridge file over 0x0000-0x3FFF
when one is configured (ref: source/Engine.cpp:302-316), and that file is
content. The on-screen display font is an Ubuntu TTF from the host
system fonts directory (ref: source/Video.cpp:90-92).
exclusion_note: "VG 5000 system ROM is encoded in a compiled-in image table and decoded on first access, so no file is read"
