Batch analysis of all 273 profiles to identify HLE/embedded fallbacks. Added hle_fallback: true where the core has verified software replacement for missing BIOS files: - Embedded ROMs: vice (102), ep128emu (22), fuse (18), frodo (4) - HLE BIOS: bsnes* (33 across 3 profiles), puae (9 AROS), noods (4), melonds* (6 FreeBIOS), flycast (3 reios) - Open-source replacements: sameboy (8), pokemini (1), gpsp (1) - Built-in fallbacks: np2kai (7), atari800 (6 Altirra), picodrive (3), quasi88 (4), gambatte (2) Conservative: only added where notes or source code confirm HLE. Skipped 50+ profiles where files are optional alternatives, not HLE replaceable (neocd, opera, kronos, pcem, etc.)

notes: |
|
|
BlastEm is a cycle-accurate Sega Mega Drive/Genesis emulator with basic
|
|
Master System support. In standalone mode it supports TMSS ROM loading and
|
|
multiple hardware models (MD1 VA0 through MD3 VA2, Teradrive). The Jaguar
|
|
emulator (blastjag) is a separate standalone binary, not part of the
|
|
libretro core.
|
|
|
|
The libretro port (libblastem.c) does NOT expose any core options and
|
|
defaults to model md1va3 which has TMSS disabled. There is no way to
|
|
select a TMSS-enabled model through the libretro interface.
|
|
|
|
Even if a TMSS-enabled model were forced, read_bundled_file() in the
|
|
libretro build only serves rom.db and returns NULL for tmss.md, so TMSS
|
|
ROM loading would fail (fatal_error at genesis.c:1923).
|
|
|
|
Sega CD / Mega CD is not supported (only a TODO comment in system.c:16).
|
|
No BIOS files are required or loaded by the libretro core.

# rom.db is embedded in the libretro binary (libblastem.c:532-540,

|
# override — .info lists it as firmware0_opt=true.
|
|
# .info sha1 E5414FB1C4CC7D7F5101C07E4547316779BA3D97 does not match

TMSS ROM is loaded from tmss.md (configurable via system/tmss_path).

The libretro build uses md1va3 (tmss off) with no option to change.
