Batch analysis of all 273 profiles to identify HLE/embedded fallbacks. Added hle_fallback: true where the core has verified software replacement for missing BIOS files: - Embedded ROMs: vice (102), ep128emu (22), fuse (18), frodo (4) - HLE BIOS: bsnes* (33 across 3 profiles), puae (9 AROS), noods (4), melonds* (6 FreeBIOS), flycast (3 reios) - Open-source replacements: sameboy (8), pokemini (1), gpsp (1) - Built-in fallbacks: np2kai (7), atari800 (6 Altirra), picodrive (3), quasi88 (4), gambatte (2) Conservative: only added where notes or source code confirm HLE. Skipped 50+ profiles where files are optional alternatives, not HLE replaceable (neocd, opera, kronos, pcem, etc.)

# a5200 is a dedicated Atari 5200 emulator forked from Atari800/Atari++ codebase.
|
|
# It loads the official 5200 OS ROM from <system_dir>/5200.rom (2048 bytes, mapped
|
|
# to memory at 0xF800-0xFFFF via MEMORY_InitialiseMachine).
|
|
#
|
|
# If 5200.rom is missing or the user selects "internal" via core option "a5200_bios",
|
|
# the core falls back to Altirra 5200 OS, an open-source replacement compiled from
|
|
# Altirra-3.20-test4 (altirra_5200_os.c). The fallback has reduced compatibility
|
|
# compared to the original Atari OS ROM.
|
|
#
|
|
# BIOS loading (libretro.c:409-500):
|
|
# 1. check_bios_variable() reads core option "a5200_bios" (official/internal)
|
|
# 2. load_bios() attempts to read <system_dir>/5200.rom (0x800 bytes)
|
|
# 3. On failure or "internal" selected: memcpy from ROM_altirra_5200_os fallback
|
|
#
|
|
# Cartridge detection (atari.c:169-236):
|
|
# Auto-detects cart type from header bytes and size. ROM database in cartridge.c
|
|
# maps MD5 hashes to cart types (standard 8K/16K/32K/40K, bounty bob, super cart).

Atari 5200 OS ROM. Provides the built-in OS routines used by all 5200
|
|
cartridges. Without it, the core uses the Altirra open-source replacement
|
|
which has lower compatibility with some games. Core option "a5200_bios"
|
|
controls whether to use this file or the internal fallback.

notes:
|
|
altirra_fallback: >
|
|
The built-in Altirra 5200 OS (from altirra_5200_os.c, 0x800 bytes) is a free
|
|
replacement that works for most games but some titles require the original ROM
|
|
for full compatibility. The core displays a notification when falling back.
|
|
cart_db: >
|
|
cartridge.c contains an MD5-based ROM database for automatic cart type detection
|
|
(standard, EE banked, bounty bob, super cart variants). Unknown ROMs are detected
|
|
by size heuristic.
