RetroBat launches it from emulators\\chihiro with /load and the XBE,\nor the default.xbe of a title directory.\nref: emulatorLauncher Generators/Cxbx.Generator.cs:99-110, 122-243\n\nAt this revision the Chihiro support sits behind CHIHIRO_WORK, which no\nproject file defines, so the release build has none of it: no JVS base\nboard, no boot.id detection, no media board ROM extraction, and an XBE\ndetected as Chihiro ends the run with \"Emulating Chihiro mode does not work\nyet\". The binary holds that message and none of the media board or base\nboard file names the later builds read. Titles run here only as Xbox or\ndebug XBEs.\nref: src/core/kernel/init/CxbxKrnl.cpp:573-639, 668-699, 721-731\n\nThe kernel is reimplemented and XBE code executes natively, so no flash ROM\nor MCPX image is read. Every path below is relative to the data directory.\nRetroBat's settings.ini template sets DataStorageToggle to 1, the folder\nholding cxbx.exe. EmuDisk and EmuMu are created under it at startup, and\nthe hard disk partitions inside EmuDisk are created and formatted by the\nemulator.\nref: src/common/Settings.cpp:880-915, src/common/FilePaths.cpp:82-109\n\nThe media board names Chihiro\\fpr21042_m29w160et.bin and\nChihiro\\SEGABOOT_MBROM0.XBE / SEGABOOT_MBROM1.XBE stay in the file layer,\nreached on a reboot to firmware when the system is Chihiro or when a title\nopens the mbrom0: or mbrom1: devices.
