Technical notes

Libretro core wrapping Panda3DS, an HLE Nintendo 3DS emulator. Shared font, Mii data, country list and bad word list are embedded in the binary via CMRC and compiled-in headers. DSP firmware is loaded from the game ROM at runtime, not from an external file. DSP modes: HLE (default), LLE (Teakra), Null. Files are resolved from the RetroArch save directory (/Emulator Files/sysdata/), not the system directory.
