Description

Please add an option to disable the bios if present ("7800 Bios (U).rom").
PAL games are crashing if the bios is present.

...or add an option to use the PAL bios (for example: "7800 Bios (E).rom") ;)

Research direction

Start by locating the BIOS handling and ROM selection in the ProSystem libretro port, then reproduce the PAL crash with "7800 Bios (U).rom" present. Compare behavior with no BIOS and with "7800 Bios (E).rom"; done means the selected option reliably prevents the PAL crash or uses the PAL BIOS.
