MinivMacBootv2.dsk optional in repo
- Path:
macintosh/MinivMacBootv2.dsk - System boot disk. Content given as a .cmd file is read as a command line, and every argument that is not an option is inserted as a disk, opened read-write first. Recalbox 10.1.1 writes a .cmd naming bios/macintosh/MinivMacBootv2.dsk ahead of the game disk. A missing image raises an open-failure message and the machine starts without it. ref: recalbox projects/configgen/configgen/recalboxFiles.py:174, recalbox projects/configgen/configgen/generators/libretro/libretroGenerator.py:877-882
