Gamewave libretro core

New libretro core loosely based on Vectrexia.

Compilation

To compile this libretro core use meson. Your C++ compiler must support the C++23 standard.

meson setup build # add "-Dbuildtype=debug" for a debug build
meson compile -C build

Running core

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=retroarch org.libretro.RetroArch -L /home/halamix2/repos/reverse/gamewave/gamewave-libretro/build/gamewave_libretro.so "/home/halamix2/repos/reverse/gamewave/games/Click! (USA)/gamewave.diz"

Native;

retroarch -L /home/halamix2/repos/reverse/gamewave/gamewave-libretro/build/gamewave_libretro.so "/home/halamix2/repos/reverse/gamewave/games/Click! (USA)/gamewave.diz"
