The SF2000 appears to be using Libretro with a custom front-end (i.e., not RetroArch).
### Arcade
The device is running some version of Final Burn Alpha. Thanks to some truly exceptional work by `adcockm#8175` from the Retro Handhelds Discord, we know it supports an unusual mix of ROM sets, largely based on MAME 0.106 and Final Burn Alpha v0.2.97.42. `adcockm#8175` has gone ahead and compiled two separate [Clrmamepro](https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/) dat files - [one for _all_ sets technically supported by the SF2000's current BIOS](/arcade/DataFrog_SF2000_FBA_v0.2.97.42.dat) (as of May 2023; though note that "supported" does not mean working or playable), and [one for all playable sets](/arcade/DataFrog_SF2000_FBA_v0.2.97.42_playable_no_dups.dat) with duplicates removed (and note, "playable" may include games with missing sound, graphical glitches, performance issues, but are otherwise technically functional). If you want to build a working set (must be non-merged) from the dat files, `adcockm#8175` has further provided [a list of "hints"](/arcade/Building_the_DataFrog_SF2000_FBA_v0.2.97.42_set.txt) as the sets you'll need to track down - for obvious reasons neither I nor anyone else can provide links to such material, but hopefully the hints will get you something you can start searching for. Finally, there's also [a HTML document](/arcade/DataFrog_SF2000_FBA.html) with a list of all of the supported sets along with some useful metadata, such as the set's full name, playability information, screen orientation, etc.. The `inrom` column indicates if the ROM was included on the SF2000's stock microSD card; it's interesting to note that there were more ROMs located on the card than were defined in the `mswb7.tax` file (and thus available from the arcade game list); none of the unlisted games were actually playable on the SF2000, so it's possible someone from Data Frog actually tested the games to an extent, and removed ones from the available list that were broken.

### NES
Appears to be a version of FCEUmm. There are references in the firmware to different NES palettes, but there's no interface or configuration for the emulator itself to choose one. On the original firmware, the A and B buttons were swapped. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
Emulator is FCEUmm (Git commit (`7cdfc7e`)[https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm/commit/7cdfc7e]).

On the original firmware, the A and B buttons were swapped. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
### SNES
With the April 20th version of the firmware, SNES games appear to run very slowly _on first launch_; but if you exit the game and load it again, it usually starts performing _much_ better.
Emulator is Snes9x 2005 v1.36 (Git commit (`b94a804`)[https://github.com/libretro/snes9x2005/commit/b94a804]). With the April 20th version of the firmware, SNES games often appear to run very slowly _on first launch_; but if you exit the game and load it again, it usually starts performing _much_ better.
### Genesis/Mega Drive
Works pretty well. This emulator is capable of loading Master System ROMs if placed in the user ROMs folder on the microSD card; Game Gear ROMs do not load. Some PAL-region games may run too fast; NTSC-region games seem to always run at the correct speed. On the original firmware, A was mapped to A, B was mapped to B, and RB was mapped to C for some reason. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
Emulator is PicoDrive 1.91 (Git commit (`cbc93b6`)[https://github.com/libretro/picodrive/commit/cbc93b6]). Works pretty well.

On the original firmware, A was mapped to A, B was mapped to B, and RB was mapped to C for some reason. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
### Game Boy
Uses a black and white colour palette, which currently cannot be changed. On the original firmware, the A and B buttons were swapped. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
Emulator is TGB Dual v0.8.3 (Git commit (`9be31d3`)[https://github.com/libretro/tgbdual-libretro/commit/9be31d3]). Uses a black and white colour palette, which currently cannot be changed. On the original firmware, the A and B buttons were swapped. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
### Game Boy Color
On the original firmware, the A and B buttons were swapped. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
Emulator is TGB Dual v0.8.3 (Git commit (`9be31d3`)[https://github.com/libretro/tgbdual-libretro/commit/9be31d3]). On the original firmware, the A and B buttons were swapped. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
### Game Boy Advance
Performance is fairly poor. On the original firmware, A and B buttons are mapped correctly, but the GBA shoulder buttons are mapped to X and Y for some reason. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.
Emulator is gpSP v0.91 (Git commit (`261b2db`)[https://github.com/libretro/gpsp/commit/261b2db]). Performance is fairly poor. On the original firmware, A and B buttons are mapped correctly, but the GBA shoulder buttons are mapped to X and Y for some reason. See "[Button Mappings/Key Bindings](#button-mappingskey-bindings)" section below.

## Version History
- `20230525 - 1.12`: Added a section about the internals of the `Foldername.ini` file. Added a note to the Arcade section about the "inrom" column in `adcockm#8175`'s metadata document. Added a small firmware note for the May 22nd about community-spotted GBA performance improvements.

Added a small firmware note for the May 22nd about community-spotted GBA performance improvements. Added specific emulator versions and Git commit links for each emulator (thanks `osaka#9664` and `notv37#4200`!).
- `20230524 - 1.11`: Added my new [Generic Image Tool](https://vonmillhausen.github.io/sf2000/tools/genericImageTool.htm). Added more exceptional information from `adcockm#8175` in regards to arcade emulation on the SF2000, and cleaned up the old info accordingly. Corrected some typos related to `bisrv.asd` (thanks `Luke#4448`!). Usage of `nvinf.hsp` was tracked down to the numbers of games available on the main menu pages (thanks `kid_sinn#9691`!).
