DOSBox-SVN - RetroBIOS¶

| Cores | dosbox_svn |
| Systems | dos |
No BIOS or firmware files required. This core is self-contained.
DOSBox-SVN is the same codebase as dosbox_svn_ce but builds with a fake SDL shim (WITH_FAKE_SDL=1) instead of real SDL, for broader platform compat. ref: libretro/Makefile.libretro, libretro/fakesdl/
No MT-32 emulation — no MUNT bundled, no mt32emu, no FluidSynth, no BASS. The src/midi/munt directory referenced in Makefile.common does not exist. MIDI output is hardware-only via fake SDL stubs. ref: src/gui/midi.cpp
system_directory is read (libretro.cpp:1399) but only logged, never used to load any files.
NOT an alias of dosbox_core — completely different MIDI capabilities. dosbox_core has MUNT + FluidSynth + BASSMIDI. This core has none.
