## Firmware/BIOS (biserv.asd)
The firmware for the SF2000 is actually located on the microSD card, in a file called `biserv.asd` located in the BIOS folder. This file is a monolithic binary blob, which contains the device's OS, the emulators, their settings... basically everything. Data Frog have issued some firmware updates for the device since launch; the updates have added new features (e.g., additional language support, favourites, history, etc.), but have also introduced bugs (e.g., some SNES games run very slowly until they are quit and launched again, etc.). Data Frog have published a YouTube video showing how to update the firmware on the device, which [you can find here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8dT2fdGfck); the video's description contains a link to where you can download the latest firmware.
Known firmware versions are currently (dates approximate):
| Date | Version | Notes |
| ---- | ------- | ----- |
| Mid-March | ? | The original firmware that shipped with the first batch of devices |
| April 20th | ? | The first official firmware update; fixed some button mappings for Genesis, added support for 15 new languages. Also partially broke SNES compatibility - many SNES games will run very slowly on first launch, but quitting and immediately re-launching the game will have it run at normal speed (normal for the SF2000, anyway) |
| May 15th | ? | Added a built-in UI for global button mapping (which is broken in several ways, mainly SNES and Genesis controls are swapped, and no support for setting Player 2 controls), added a History feature, added a Favourites feature |
| May 22nd | 1.5V | First firmware with an official version number. Fixed the SNES/Genesis swapped button mappings, and now sets Player 2 controls to be identical to Player 1 (no way to set independently) |
There is not currently any custom firmware (CFW) for the device. The stock firmware is currently being investigated; here are some findings from it:
### Button Mappings/Key Bindings
`osaka#9664` discovered that the OS supports loading game-specific key bindings from `.kmp` files, stored in the `save` folder for each system and named after a game's ROM file (e.g., `/FC/save/Game Name.EXT.kmp`). They also discovered where in the `biserv.asd` file the default mappings for each emulator are stored. Working with this information, `notv37#4200` worked out what bits related to what buttons for each emulator. Using both their findings, we now have a tool which can be used to update both the global button mappings for the emulators, as well as create per-ROM mappings - you can [find this tool here](https://vonmillhausen.github.io/sf2000/tools/buttonMappingChanger.htm).
Note that the game-specific key bindings function may have been removed from the May 15th firmware.
Note that the game-specific key bindings function have been removed from the May 15th firmware onwards.
### Boot Logo
When the device is powered on, a "Welcome" image is displayed for a short time before the main menu appears. This image comes from inside `biserv.asd`, (towards the end; exact offset varies between BIOS revisions). It's a `512x200` RGB565 Little Endian raw image file, and looks like this:

### Images (Used)
As far as I am aware, all of the below images are actively used by the `20230515` version of the firmware; happy to take any corrections if it turns out any of them are unused! Note that while the stock theme is based around a `640x480` resolution, the actual _display_ on the SF2000 is a `320x240` one. The OS on the device uses nearest-neighbour scaling for its images, giving the stock UI a somewhat aliased appearance. If you're planning to make your own theme for the SF2000, design it for `320x240`, and then double the resolution when exporting the final images to the device for a crisper look on the internal panel.

### Images (Unused)
To the best of my knowledge, the following image files are currently __unused__ by the `20230515` firmware, and were probably left over from previous devices (the SF2000 shares a bit of lineage with some USB-stick devices) or development. The images marked "Alternate UI" below appear to have been for a UI where the systems were scrolled through horizontally, and the "shortcut" games for each system were scrolled vertically.

### Other Files
These are other files that have been identified, which don't fit into the other categories. Non-Latin characters in the files are encoded in UTF-8.
| Filename | 03.15 | 04.20 | 05.15 | Description |
| -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----------- |
| `Archive.sys` | ✨ | 🚩 | ✅ | Stores the settings for UI language and TV system. Two 32-bit words (4-bytes), little endian. The first is UI language; `0x00000000` is English, `0x01000000` is Chinese, etc.. The second is the TV system setting; `0x00000000` is NTSC, `0x01000000` is PAL. Note the "🚩" icon here indicates the format of the data, or the permissible values were changed (as opposed to the data itself, which will vary from device to device based on user settings) |

User ROMs are not added to history, only built-in games. If a built-in game that is referenced in history is removed from the device, the device will crash when trying to view the History screen. You can delete the History.bin file to clear the device's history; there is no built-in functionality to do so |

| `History.bin` | | | ✨ | ✅ | Used to store the history of played ROMs; only appears after the first game is played after installing the 05.15 or later firmware. User ROMs are not added to history, only built-in games. If a built-in game that is referenced in history is removed from the device, the device will crash when trying to view the History screen. You can delete the History.bin file to clear the device's history; there is no built-in functionality to do so |

### ROM Lists
Credit for this section goes to `taizou#9644`, author of [Frog Tool](https://github.com/tzlion/frogtool). These files relate to the built-in game-lists under each main system; the list of games is pulled from these files instead of being built at runtime - annoying, but presumably for performance reasons. It means if you want to change the list of built-in games (instead of using the User ROMs section), you have to edit these files - hence Frog Tool, you should really check it out.

### Sounds
There are several sound files in the `20230420` firmware, stored in raw signed 16-bit PCM format (mono, little-endian at 22050 Hz). The SF2000 seems to play the files back at an incorrect sample rate vs. the raw data; if you want to customise the background music, resample your audio to 21543 Hz, and then speed the audio up to 22050 Hz, using the resulting audio as the raw data (credit to `notv37#4200` in Discord for doing the math on that).

### Unknown Files
These are files that I have not yet determined what they do; if anyone has any information on these, do post about it in the Data Frog channel in the Retro Handhelds Discord server please!

| `kcnuv.lit` | ✨ | ✅ | ✅ | UNKNOWN; a bunch of 4-byte binary chunks (e.g., `0xC4 0x00 0x00 0x00`), followed by a list of .NES ROM file names. Very similar to the `.bvs`/`.nec`/`.tax` files detailed above, but doesn't have the same type of "header" they have |
