The refs described upstream's libretro.c while source_commit named the fork, where the loader moved to src/ and a missing ROM now shuts the core down cleanly. A bump no longer advances a pin no ref resolves in.

# GAM4980 emulates the BBK Longman 4980 (A4980/A4988) electronic dictionary.
|
|
# Original code from https://codeberg.org/iyzsong/gam4980, based on the
|
|
# BA4988 BBK simulator by Wuyun. Uses a 6502-based CPU with banked ROM access.
|
|
#
|
|
# ROM loading (src/libretro.c:707-746, sys_init):
|
|
# Opens romdir/8.BIN and reads 0x200000 bytes (2 MB) into sys.rom_8 (font ROM).
|
|
# Opens romdir/E.BIN and reads 0x200000 bytes (2 MB) into sys.rom_e (OS ROM).
|
|
# A missing file shows "GAM4980: Missing 8.BIN" (or E.BIN) and the core
|
|
# shuts down through RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SHUTDOWN.
|
|
#
|
|
# Memory map (src/libretro.c:109-110, 302-305):
|
|
# 0x800000-0x9FFFFF rom_8 (font ROM, 8.BIN)
|
|
# 0xE00000-0xFFFFFF rom_e (OS ROM, E.BIN)
|
|
#
|
|
# No hash validation. No size validation. The .info declares firmware_count=0.
|

|
|
notes: |
|
|
Place 8.BIN and E.BIN in the RetroArch system/gam4980/ subdirectory.
|
|
Both files must be 2 MB dumps from a BBK Longman 4980 dictionary:
|
|
8.BIN - font ROM, dumped from address range 0x800000-0x9FFFFF
|
|
E.BIN - OS ROM, dumped from address range 0xE00000-0xFFFFFF
|
|
Game files use the .gam extension.

|
|
note: |
|
|
sys.rom_8 and sys.rom_e are flat 2 MB arrays. The CPU accesses them
|
|
through bank-switched memory (PA() macro resolves virtual to physical
|
|
address). rom_8_vread and rom_e_vread handle indirect reads via
|
|
the banking system.

|
|
load_path:
|
|
source_ref: "src/libretro.c:1193-1197"
|
|
note: |
|
|
retro_init() builds the path as {system_directory}/gam4980/ and
|
|
passes it to sys_init(). Files must be named exactly 8.BIN and
|
|
E.BIN (case sensitive on Linux). No .info firmware declarations
|
|
exist, so RetroArch won't warn about missing files at scan time.
