Most users should use FBNeo.\n\nCPS-1 has no system BIOS. Each game's ROM set is self-contained:\n68000 program ROMs + Z80 sound program + GFX ROMs + (optional) QSound samples.\nQSound games (Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, etc.) include audio samples directly in\ntheir ROM set (cd-q1.1k through cd-q4.4k), not as a separate DSP BIOS.\n\nBoard PLDs (buf1, ioa1, prg1, rom1, sou1) are listed in ROM definitions as\nBRF_OPT (optional). These are GAL/PAL dumps for hardware preservation,\nnever loaded by the emulator.\n\nROM path: ROMs are loaded from the content directory (g_rom_dir).\nsystem_directory (libretro.cpp:2202) is used only for hiscore.dat.\n\nThe .info note \"BIOS files must be inside the ROM directory\" is the note\neach FB Alpha 2012 .info carries. CPS-1 loads no BIOS file.\n\n244 ROM sets defined (488 STD_ROM_PICK/FN entries = 244 games).\nis_experimental=false, need_fullpath=true, block_extract=true.\n",
