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.

gpSP is a Game Boy Advance emulator originally by Exophase, forked by
|
|
notaz for GP2X/Pandora, now maintained by davidgfnet for libretro.
|
|
Ships a built-in open-source BIOS (bios/open_gba_bios.bin) compiled
|
|
from bios/source/ that covers most games.
|
|
|
|
The core option gpsp_bios controls BIOS selection:
|
|
auto (default) - try official gba_bios.bin, fall back to built-in
|
|
builtin - always use the built-in open-source BIOS
|
|
official - try gba_bios.bin, warn and fall back to built-in if missing
|
|
|
|
BIOS loading path (libretro/libretro.c:1239-1276):
|
|
1. Resolve system directory (RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY)
|
|
2. Append "/gba_bios.bin"
|
|
3. load_bios() reads 0x4000 (16 KB) into bios_rom[]
|
|
4. Sanity check: bios_rom[0] must be 0x18 (ARM branch opcode)
|
|
5. On failure, memcpy open_gba_bios_rom[] as fallback
|
|
|
|
The official BIOS improves compatibility for games that rely on
|
|
precise SWI behavior or BIOS checksum verification.
|
|
|
|
Upstream (notaz/Exophase) required the official BIOS with no fallback.
|
|
The built-in open-source BIOS is a davidgfnet/libretro addition.

note: |
|
|
The built-in BIOS (open_gba_bios_rom, 16 KB) is an open-source
|
|
reimplementation compiled from bios/source/. It implements most
|
|
SWI calls (SoftReset, RegisterRamReset, Halt, VBlankIntrWait,
|
|
arithmetic, decompression, sound, multiboot).
|
|
|
|
No hash or checksum verification is performed. The only check
|
|
is bios_rom[0] == 0x18 (ARM branch at reset vector).
|
|
|
|
The bios_type enum (main.h:56-61) defines three modes:
|
|
auto_detect - try official first, fall back to built-in
|
|
builtin_bios - skip file load entirely, use open_gba_bios_rom
|
|
official_bios - try file, warn on failure, still fall back
