DOSBox-SVN CE - RetroBIOS¶

| Cores | dosbox_svn_ce |
| Systems | dos |
No BIOS or firmware files required. This core is self-contained.
DOSBox-SVN CE (Community Edition) is the same codebase as dosbox_svn but builds against real SDL 1.2 + SDL_net instead of the fake SDL shim. ref: libretro/Makefile.libretro (WITH_FAKE_SDL flag)
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 (ALSA, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI, Win32, OSS). ref: src/gui/midi.cpp, src/gui/midi_alsa.h, midi_coreaudio.h, etc.
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.
Requires libsdl1.2 and libsdl-net1.2 at runtime (.info notes).
