Description
I was trying to launch hyper street kart,a mario kart romhack so it looks for the same bios files as the normal mario kart and It failed to launch the log shows that it looks for upd7725.data.rom and upd7725.program.rom instead of dsp1.data.rom and dsp1.program.rom.
retroarch.log
EDIT: The same for Super Gameboy the sgb roms in the sgb folders need to be named lr35902.boot.rom.
I am pretty sure now that nside for some reason expects names from the Snes Chip documentations. So All special chip files probably have that issue.
