The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the firmware utilized by the Sega Dreamcast hardware upon startup. It is responsible for initializing hardware, checking the GD-ROM drive, and managing the system menu (including file management on the VMU).

The Virtual Memory Card feature would enhance the overall user experience of Flycast, providing a convenient, portable, and space-efficient way to manage saved game data. What do you think?

The BIOS is region-locked. If you use a Japan BIOS, Japanese games will boot directly; others will require a region-changer or a boot disc.

Flycast's VMC allows users to emulate a Dreamcast memory card on their host device, enabling them to save and load game data without needing a physical memory card. The VMC would be stored on the host device's storage, mimicking the behavior of a real Dreamcast memory card.
