  Closed-source Windows fork of XM6 v2.06 by GIMONS, maintained again by PI.
  Distributed from PI's XM6 page as one archive, xm6_typeg_338_20260223.zip
  (sha256 71c2b3429163128f...), holding an x64 xm6g.exe (sha256
  3d50aab23ce6c8ae1677b1ca8adaa8b0c6c9dabb1c06b98d0f2ea10fe44ac5de), the Visual
  C++ 2015-2019 runtime it imports (mfc140u.dll, msvcp140.dll, vcruntime140.dll,
  vcruntime140_1.dll, loader-resolved) and a PDF manual. No source is published.
  Every address below is a virtual address in that xm6g.exe, function bounds taken
  from its .pdata. ES-DE launches it through the XM6TYPEG and XM6TYPEG-WINDOWS find
  rules with the working directory set to the emulator folder, on Linux under Wine
  or Proton.

  System files sit in a twenty-entry pointer table at 0x140592350 (IPLROM.DAT
  first, STATE.XM6 last). Filepath::SysFile at 0x1404e76d0 indexes it, copies the
  name, splits it and jumps to 0x1404e7950, which refills drive and directory from
  GetModuleFileNameW, so every system file is read beside xm6g.exe and no
  configured directory takes part. LoadROM inlines the same sequence for index 0
  (0x1404fca8d-0x1404fcb52). Fileio::Open is 0x1404e7390 (CreateFileW) and
  Fileio::Load 0x1404e7200 (ReadFile, success only when the full count is read).

  LoadROM (0x1404fc990) takes a memory type set by Memory::ApplyCfg
  (0x1404fe390): types 1 to 3 are the base X68000 with no SCSI, internal SCSI or
  external SCSI, 4 is XVI, 5 Compact, 6 X68030 and 7 X68030 with the expansion ROM
  option on. It reads the IPL ROM, then the CG ROM, then the SCSI ROM, and a short
  ReadFile count fails the load, so every min_size below is a floor and a longer
  file loads with its tail ignored. Memory::Init (0x1404fc5d0) calls LoadROM(1) at
  0x1404fc669 and returns 0 on failure. VM::Init failing at 0x140471218 sets error
  state 1 (0x140471221), and the startup handler at 0x1404737a0 then shows string
  47002 or 42002, "XM6 requires two ROM files, IPLROM.DAT file and CGROM.DAT(or
  CGROM.TMP) file", with MB_ICONSTOP and posts WM_CLOSE. Memory::Reset (0x1404fd610)
  loads any other type on demand: type 7 falls back to 6 (0x1404fd682), and any
  failure falls back to type 1 (0x1404fd6bc), so a missing model ROM only loses
  that machine.

  The options page (0x140428f80) offers XVI, Compact and X68030 only when
  IPLROMXV.DAT, IPLROMCO.DAT and IPLROM30.DAT have GetFileSizeEx exactly 0x20000.
  Three startup checks run from 0x1404738b5 through 0x140472860, each skippable by
  its option. The IPL check (0x140472a99) reads the IOCS date bytes at 0x1000a,
  0x1000c and 0x1000d of the base IPL and warns unless they spell 87/05/07. The CG
  check (0x14047296e) sums and XORs 0x1000 bytes at 0x3a800 of the font and warns
  unless they give 0xec and 0x84. The SCSI check (0x140501290) reads 0x2000 bytes of
  SCSIINROM.DAT (0x14050142d) and SCSIEXROM.DAT (0x140501599) and warns when
  0x1ff8 holds "XM6 ", the stamp of the XM6 Utility replacements (0x14050147c,
  0x1405015da). Each warning dialog (0x140487730) continues on OK and closes XM6 on
  Cancel. No genuine ROM is hashed anywhere in the executable.

  XM6 Utility, published separately at the same address, synthesises CGROM.TMP
  from the installed Windows fonts and SCSIINROM.DAT or SCSIEXROM.DAT from the
  Human68k version 3.02 disk image HUMAN302.XDF, which it requires at 0x134000
  bytes (XM6Util scsirom.cpp:86-90), and stamps "XM6 " at offset 0x1ff8 and a
  version at 0x1ffc (XM6Util scsirom.cpp:243-245).

  The Mercury Unit OPN (YMF288) samples its rhythm section from files. The fmgen
  and X68Sound engines read six WAV files named from a table at 0x1405c0090
  (0x1404ed610), and the ymfm engine reads ym2608_adpcm_rom.bin instead
  (0x140574eb0).

  xm6g.ini and the state file STATE.XM6, the twentieth table entry, are written by
  the program and are not listed below. RTC.DAT and the SRAM files are listed
  because they are battery-backed images with hardware counterparts that preload
  settings when supplied. XM6 TypeG writes them back on exit (SRAM 0x140556498,
  RTC 0x1405321a9), so it creates them when they are absent.
