Meteor is a Game Boy Advance emulator by Philippe Daouadi (2009-2011).
|
|
|
|
The libretro port does NOT load or use any external BIOS file. The core has
|
|
a complete HLE BIOS implementation (ameteor/source/bios.cpp) that handles
|
|
GBA SWI calls directly in C++. When no real BIOS is loaded (HasBios() returns
|
|
false), Cpu::SoftwareInterrupt() dispatches SWI calls to the HLE handlers
|
|
instead of executing the BIOS ROM (ameteor/source/cpu.cpp:244-311).
|
|
|
|
The standalone frontends (GTK, text) expose LoadBios() for optional real BIOS
|
|
loading, but the libretro port (libretro/libretro.cpp) never calls LoadBios()
|
|
and never queries RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY. The retro_load_game()
|
|
function only loads the ROM via LoadRom().
|
|
|
|
HLE SWI coverage: SoftReset (0x00), RegisterRamReset (0x01), Halt (0x02),
|
|
IntrWait (0x04), VBlankIntrWait (0x05), Div (0x06), DivArm (0x07),
|
|
Sqrt (0x08), ArcTan (0x09), ArcTan2 (0x0A), CpuSet (0x0B),
|
|
CpuFastSet (0x0C), BgAffineSet (0x0E), ObjAffineSet (0x0F),
|
|
LZ77UnCompWram (0x11), LZ77UnCompVram (0x12), HuffUnComp (0x13),
|
|
RLUnCompWram (0x14), RLUnCompVram (0x15).
|
|
|
|
Missing from HLE: Stop (0x03), BitUnPack (0x10), Diff8bitUnFilter (0x16-0x17),
|
|
Diff16bitUnFilter (0x18), SoundBias (0x19), SoundDriverInit (0x1A-0x1F),
|
|
MidiKey2Freq (0x1F), SoundDriverVSyncOff/On (0x28-0x29), GetBiosChecksum (0x0D).
|
|
|
|
The BIOS memory region (0x00000000-0x00003FFF, 16 KB) is allocated only if
|
|
LoadBios() is called. Memory reads to this region return BIOS protection values
|
|
(0x0E for 8-bit, 0xF00E for 16-bit, 0xE1B0F00E for 32-bit) when no BIOS is
|
|
loaded and PC is outside the BIOS area.
|
|
|
|
Bios000h() (entry point) initializes stack pointers and jumps to 0x08000004,
|
|
matching real GBA hardware boot sequence. In the libretro port, retro_reset()
|
|
resets all units except BIOS and ROM memory.

notes: |
|
|
Full HLE BIOS. The libretro port never loads an external BIOS file.
|
|
Cpu::SoftwareInterrupt() checks HasBios() -- if false (always in libretro),
|
|
SWI calls are routed to C++ reimplementations. If a real BIOS were loaded
|
|
(standalone only), execution would go through the actual BIOS ROM code via
|
|
SoftwareInterrupt() -> branch to 0x08.
