Game Boy / Game Boy Color emulator written in Rust by Joao Magalhaes.
Libretro: all boot ROMs compiled into binary as static byte arrays in
src/data.rs. load_boot_static() copies from arrays. No filesystem
access, no RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY. No external files.
ref: core.rs:402 instance.load(true) -> gb.rs:1311 -> load_boot_static
Standalone (SDL): also defaults to embedded boot ROMs via load(true).
User can override via --boot-rom-path CLI argument with any boot ROM
file. load_boot_file() with hardcoded ./res/boot/*.bin paths exists in
gb.rs:1361 but is not called from any frontend.
Boot ROM defaults: DmgBootix (DMG), CgbBoytacean (CGB) — open-source.
