Each game's ROM set is self-contained:\n68000 program ROMs + Z80 sound program + GFX ROMs + QSound samples.\nZero BRF_BIOS entries in entire codebase. No BRF_OPT entries either\n(PLD references stripped from this CPS-2-only build).\n\nQSound emulated in software (qs_c.c). No external QSound DSP ROM needed.\nAll audio data loaded from game ROM ZIP.\n\nROMs loaded from content directory (g_rom_dir, libretro.cpp:969).\ng_system_dir used only for hiscore.dat (hiscore.c:228-232).\n\nHiscore support gated by fba2012cps2_hiscores core option\n(libretro.cpp:561-563) and per-game BDF_HISCORE_SUPPORTED flag.\n",
