Discrete Integrated Circuit Emulator. Emulates early arcade hardware built
from discrete logic components with no CPU. Libretro port by Ken Mitton,
based on upstream DICE by Adam B.
Games load as MAME-style ZIP archives matched by CRC32 per ROM chip
(chips/rom.cpp:41-218). ROM-less games (Pong, Breakout, etc.) use .dmy
dummy launcher files. The system directory is retrieved but never used
for file loading (libretro.cpp:60-62).
exclusion_note: >
The system directory is asked for and stored in retro_base_directory, which
is named in no other file of the tree and read nowhere: the answer is never
used (libretro.cpp:28,60-63).
