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

{'bios_approach': "VirtualXT embeds all BIOS ROMs into the core binary at compile time using Odin's #load() directive. The bios/ directory in the source tree contains open-source replacements: GLaBIOS (GPL), Turbo XT BIOS 3.1, and vgabios. No proprietary IBM PC/XT BIOS is needed.\n", 'ini_config': 'When loading an .ini file, the core can instantiate ROM modules with external file paths (rom.odin handles string values for "mem" via load_from_file). This is an advanced usage path; standard operation needs no external files.\n', 'supported_extensions': 'img, ini, exe, com', 'supported_features': 'Intel 8088/186 CPU, CGA/VGA graphics, EMS memory, ethernet adapter, host file sharing (RIFS2), GDB server, floppy and hard disk images.\n'}
