Abdessamad Derraz e13e8734b9 chore: standardize notes: to note: in file entries
240 file-level entries used notes: instead of the canonical note:
field. verify.py and cross_reference.py only read note:, so these
were silently ignored.

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() (smsplus_libretro.c:203-252). 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: "smsplus_libretro.c:211-229"
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: "smsplus_libretro.c:232-248"
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: "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.
