notes: |
|
|
Gearlynx is an Atari Lynx emulator by Ignacio Sanchez (drhelius).
|
|
The libretro core loads lynxboot.img from the system directory at
|
|
retro_load_game time (libretro.cpp:106-130, function load_bootroms).
|
|
Path is built as: system_directory + "/lynxboot.img", no subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
LoadBios in media.cpp:274 reads exactly 512 bytes (GLYNX_BIOS_SIZE
|
|
= 0x200, defines.h:52). If the file size is not 0x200, the load is
|
|
rejected with BIOS_LOAD_INVALID_SIZE. After loading, bytes at offset
|
|
0x1F8 and 0x1F9 are patched (RAM/MAPCTL registers), then CRC32 is
|
|
computed and compared against GLYNX_DB_BIOS_CRC (0x0D973C9D,
|
|
game_db.h:38). An invalid CRC triggers a warning log but the BIOS
|
|
is still marked as loaded (m_is_bios_loaded = true).
|
|
|
|
Unlike Handy, Gearlynx has no HLE fallback. If the BIOS is not
|
|
loaded (IsBiosLoaded() returns false), RunToVBlank in
|
|
gearlynx_core_inline.h:31-37 renders a static "no bios" image
|
|
and returns false, refusing to emulate. The BIOS is required for
|
|
any ROM to run. Homebrew (.o, BS93 format) bypasses the normal
|
|
boot sequence via PrepareForHomebrew() but still requires the BIOS
|
|
to be loaded for the emulation loop to execute.
|
|
|
|
ROM extensions: .lnx, .lyx, .o
|
|
Core options: none documented in the libretro port.

notes: "512-byte boot ROM validated by CRC32 after load. Invalid CRC logs a warning but still works. Missing or wrong-size file blocks emulation entirely (no HLE fallback)."
