FinalBurn Neo (CPS-1/CPS-2) - RetroBIOS

Type pure_libretro
Source https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo
Version v1.0.0.03

Cores fbneo_cps12
Systems cps1, cps2

No BIOS or firmware files required. This core is self-contained.

CPS-1/CPS-2 subset of FinalBurn Neo, current codebase (not frozen). Exists for platforms that cannot run the full FBNeo core.

CPS-1 and CPS-2 have no system BIOS. Each game ROM set is self-contained: 68000 program + Z80 sound + GFX + QSound samples (CPS-2).

Zero BRF_BIOS entries in d_cps1.cpp and d_cps2.cpp. QSound emulated in software (qs_c.cpp:QscInit, panning table). No DSP ROM needed.

Board PLDs (buf1, ioa1, prg1/prg2, rom1, sou1) are BRF_OPT — GAL/PAL dumps for hardware preservation, never loaded by the emulator.

The .info lists firmware_count=1 but it's only hiscore.dat (optional, high score database in system/fbneo/). Not a BIOS.

ROM path: game ZIPs loaded from content directory. system/fbneo/ used only for optional extras: hiscore.dat, samples, cheats, blend files, IPS patches.

need_fullpath=false, extensions=zip|7z, savestate=deterministic.
