Technical notes

fixNES is an NES/Famicom emulator by FIX94 (same author as fixGB).

FDS games require disksys.rom (8192 bytes) in the system directory. mapperInitFDS() in mapper.c:87-110 opens the file, validates exact size 0x2000, reads into fdsBIOS[]. Returns false if missing or wrong size. No hash validation.

Regular NES/NSF games need no BIOS.

No other system files loaded. system_dir accessed only for disksys.rom (libretro/libretro.c:277-285, doOpenFDSBIOS).
