notes: |
notaz's own SDL front end of PCSX-ReARMed, the pcsx binary built by the
repository's configure and make, not the libretro core. RetroPie
builds it from master, creates a bios folder in its install directory,
links SCPH1001.BIN from its BIOS directory into that folder and runs
./pcsx -cdfile <image> from the install directory.
The BIOS folder is <home>/.pcsx/bios/. home is "." when a .pcsx folder
exists in the working directory, which RetroPie provides, and the bios
folder of the working directory then replaces it.

The front end names no BIOS file. At start it lists every regular file
or link of exactly 512 KiB or 4 MiB in that folder, the menu offers them
beside HLE, and the choice is saved in the configuration. Until a
configuration has been saved the menu selects the first file the
directory listing returns, and a launch with -cdfile that never opens
the menu runs with HLE. psxMemReset reads the first 0x80000 bytes of
the selected file and falls back to HLE when it cannot be read whole.

cheatpops.db, a cwcheat list read from the working directory when a disc
is inserted, is optional and not installed by RetroPie.

The code opens no file by name. scan_bios_plugins lists every regular
file or link of the bios folder whose size is 512 KiB or 4 MiB, in
directory order and unsorted, and the name of the one selected in the
menu is stored in Config.Bios. The entry name is a label: SCPH1001.BIN
is the file RetroPie links into that folder. Of a 4 MiB file only the
first 512 KiB are loaded.
