Technical notes

Libretro port of Mednafen's NeoPop module (originally by neopop_uk). HLE BIOS only, constructed at runtime by bios_install() in mednafen/ngp/bios.c. No external BIOS or firmware files loaded. Upstream Mednafen also uses HLE only (Documentation/ngp.html: "BIOS is HLE'd"). The only core option is ngp_language (english/japanese).

No BIOS or firmware files required.
