|
FreeChaF is a Fairchild Channel F emulator ported to libretro.
|
|
|
|
BIOS loading is in src/libretro.c:186-208. The core first tries to load
|
|
sl90025.bin (Channel F II PSU1) at address 0x000. If that fails, it falls
|
|
back to sl31253.bin (original Channel F PSU1) at the same address. PSU2
|
|
(sl31254.bin) is always loaded at address 0x400.
|
|
|
|
Memory layout from src/memory.h:27-30:
|
|
0x000-0x3FF PSU1 ROM (sl31253 or sl90025)
|
|
0x400-0x7FF PSU2 ROM (sl31254)
|
|
0x800-0x1FFF cartridge ROM
|
|
0x2000+ VRAM
|
|
|
|
If either PSU ROM fails to load, the core switches to experimental HLE
|
|
(high-level emulation) for that PSU. A warning message is shown to the
|
|
user recommending real BIOS files. HLE state is tracked per-PSU via
|
|
hle_state.psu1_hle and hle_state.psu2_hle (src/channelf_hle.c).
|
|
|
|
The .info file declares all three firmware files as required (opt=false),
|
|
but the core does not abort on missing BIOS -- it falls back to HLE.

notes: |
|
|
MEMORY_loadSysROM_libretro() reads the file and copies it into
|
|
Memory[] at the given address offset. PSU1 is loaded at 0x000,
|
|
PSU2 at 0x400. The loader caps file size to (MEMORY_SIZE - address)
|
|
to prevent overflow. MEMORY_RAMStart is advanced past the loaded
|
|
ROM to protect it from writes.

|
|
notes: |
|
|
When BIOS files are missing, FreeChaF uses HLE to emulate the
|
|
PSU routines in software. This is marked as experimental and may
|
|
cause compatibility issues with some games. Each PSU can
|
|
independently fall back to HLE.

load_priority:
|
|
source_ref: "src/libretro.c:186-198"
|
|
notes: |
|
|
PSU1 loading order: sl90025.bin (Channel F II) first, then
|
|
sl31253.bin (original Channel F) as fallback. If both fail,
|
|
HLE is used. sl90025.bin is the preferred BIOS as it includes
|
|
Channel F II improvements.
