notes: |
Beetle WonderSwan is a fork of Mednafen's Cygne module for WonderSwan
and WonderSwan Color emulation via libretro.
No external BIOS or firmware files are required. The core bypasses the
original boot ROM entirely by hardcoding the initial I/O register state
in mednafen/wswan/start.inc (a 256-byte table of power-on defaults for
all hardware registers 0x00-0xFF). On reset, WSwan_MemoryReset() in
wswan-memory.c zeroes RAM and writes a fixed 8-byte identifier at
0x75AC, then the CPU starts executing the cartridge directly.
Internal EEPROM owner data (name, birthday, sex, blood type) is
configured through core options (wswan.name, wswan.byear, wswan.bmonth,
wswan.bday, wswan.sex, wswan.blood) and initialized at boot by
WSwan_EEPROMInit() without needing a real EEPROM dump.
The wswan.language core option selects English or Japanese, which is
returned via I/O port 0xC8+ as the hardware language flag. This
replaces the boot ROM's language selection screen.
The NEC V30MZ CPU is emulated in software (v30mz.c). Sound DMA,
cartridge banking, and RTC are all handled internally.
