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.

|
|
mGBA Splitscreen is a fork of mGBA that runs 2-4 linked GBA cores in a
|
|
single libretro instance over mGBA's lockstep SIO driver. Built from
|
|
the upstream mGBA tree with -DBUILD_LIBRETRO_SPLITSCREEN=ON
|
|
(CMakeLists.txt:1036-1058), the fork adds the mgba-splitscreen link
|
|
fixes (Four Swords handshake assist and a gated deadlock kick) on top
|
|
of mGBA's library layer. The player instances live in
|
|
src/platform/libretro-splitscreen/instances.c and reject anything that
|
|
is not a GBA ROM (instances.c:114-119).
|
|
|
|
The splitscreen wrapper never performs its own BIOS lookup. Each
|
|
per-player mCore reaches mGBA's shared GBA core, which looks for
|
|
gba_bios.bin in the system directory and uses the built-in HLE BIOS
|
|
(src/gba/hle-bios.c) when it is missing. The core-info declares one
|
|
optional firmware entry (gba_bios.bin) and only accepts the .gba
|
|
extension, so GB/GBC/SGB BIOS files that upstream mGBA supports are
|
|
unreachable here.
