Abdessamad Derraz b3b3880c19 chore: say which repository each source_ref cites
Profiles that read two repositories, a libretro port and its upstream,
now prefix each citation with source or upstream, decided by which tree
carries the cited value at its pin. The emulator pages use the word to
tell libretro glue, emulator code as the port carries it, and the
upstream emulator apart.

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.
