|
|
NeoCD is a dedicated SNK Neo Geo CD emulator. It supports Front Loader,
|
|
Top Loader, and CDZ hardware variants. BIOS files go in {system_dir}/neocd/
|
|
subdirectory (src/path.cpp:7, src/libretro_bios.cpp:76-81).
|
|
|
|
The core scans the neocd/ directory for any .rom or .bin file (also inside
|
|
.zip archives), reads the first 512 bytes, and identifies the BIOS type by
|
|
binary pattern matching at fixed ROM addresses (src/bios.cpp:168-208).
|
|
Filenames listed in the .info are conventional but not enforced by the core.
|
|
|
|
Three hardware families are detected: Front Loader (NeoCD), Top Loader
|
|
(NeoCD), and CDZ. Modified BIOS variants are also recognized: SMKDan 0.07,
|
|
SMKDan 0.07b, Universe BIOS 3.2, and Universe BIOS 3.3. The core applies
|
|
speed hack patches and CD recognition patches at load time for each type
|
|
(src/bios.cpp:209-280).
|
|
|
|
The Y-ZOOM ROM (ng-lo.rom / 000-lo.lo) is a sprite zoom lookup table loaded
|
|
separately (src/memory.h:22, YZOOMROM_SIZE = 0x10000 = 65536 bytes). It is
|
|
optional but improves sprite scaling accuracy.
|
|
|
|
All firmware entries are marked optional in the .info (any single valid BIOS
|
|
is sufficient). The core presents detected BIOSes as a dropdown in the core
|
|
options menu, sorted alphabetically by description.
|
|
|
|
BIOS ROM size: 524288 bytes (0x80000, src/memory.h:16).
|
|
Y-ZOOM ROM size: 65536 bytes (0x10000, src/memory.h:22).
