Recalbox 10.1.1 builds\ntag v1.5 from a token-gated copy of this repository, but the public\nrepository carries v0.9 only, which is the revision read here.\n\nEvery ROM is compiled into the core as a zlib stream: OS and BASIC for\neach model and language, AMSDOS, the Plus cartridge plus_en.cpr, the\nCP/M Plus, FutureOS, SymbOS and utility expansion ROMs, 57 blobs in all\n(ref: libretro/RomData.h:1-15).\nrom_uncompress() inflates them when the machine is built\n(ref: libretro/LibretroCore.cpp:1098-1107) and they are handed to the\nmemory map directly, never through a path\n(ref: libretro/LibretroCore.cpp:1173-1174).\n\nThe keyboard map files the engine reads are written from embedded data\ninto the save directory, only when missing: CONF/KeyboardMaps.ini and\nKeyboards/101_keyboard_linux\n(ref: libretro/LibretroCore.cpp:1477-1502, 2169-2173).\n",
