Abdessamad Derraz 92d347cd36 chore: six more, refs and pins together
boytacean cited a line a hundred past the CGB boot selection and cap32 a
blank one after the bios directory is built. b2 carried the owner and
repository in front of its path, which matched two roms.cpp. crocods,
armsx2 and amiberry only needed their pin to catch up.

notes: |
Caprice32 is an Amstrad CPC emulator ported to libretro. Supports CPC 464,
CPC 664, CPC 6128, and CPC+ (Plus) models.
All system ROMs are compiled directly into the core binary as C header
arrays in cap32/rom/*.h. No external BIOS files are required.
Embedded ROMs (cap32/cap32.c:345-348):
- cap32/rom/464.h: OS_BASIC10[32768] - CPC 464 OS + BASIC 1.0
- cap32/rom/6128.h: OS_BASIC11[32768] - CPC 6128 OS + BASIC 1.1
- cap32/rom/amsdos.h: AMSDOS[16384] - AMSDOS disk controller ROM
- cap32/rom/6128p.h: OS_6128P - CPC+ system cartridge ROM
- cap32/rom/cpm.h: cpmROM - CP/M boot snapshot (128KB)
ROM selection in emulator_select_ROM() (cap32/cap32.c:1075-1103):
- CPC 464: OS_BASIC10 (32KB)
- CPC 664: OS_BASIC10 (32KB) + AMSDOS in slot 7
- CPC 6128: OS_BASIC11 (32KB) + AMSDOS in slot 7
- CPC+: OS_6128P loaded as system cartridge via cpr_load()
The standalone (non-libretro) version references external filenames
cpc464.rom, cpc664.rom, cpc6128.rom, amsdos.rom in cap32/cap32.c:352-355
via config file loading (cap32/cap32.c:1831-1843), but the libretro port
does not use this path. The libretro init (libretro/libretro-core.c:1509-1515) has
a "TODO: future use to load custom bios" comment that is not
implemented.
Keyboard layout patches are applied to the ROM in memory for French
and Spanish layouts via rom_mods.h (cap32/cap32.c:1105-1129).
CP/M support loads a pre-built snapshot (cpm.h) into memory via
snapshot_load_mem() in cap32/slots.c:90.

note: |
All ROMs are embedded. emulator_select_ROM() copies the appropriate
ROM array into the pbROM buffer based on CPC.model. No filesystem
lookup occurs in the libretro port. The retro_system_bios_directory
variable is set up in libretro/libretro-core.c:1513-1524 but only used for
a future custom BIOS feature that is not yet implemented.
