VICE Source Manifest

Document Information

Field	Value
Source Corpus	native/vice/vice/doc, native/vice/vice/src
Generated	2026-05-21
Purpose	Inventory classic VICE documentation and source reviewed for requirement extraction.

Extraction Rules

• Use classic VICE docs for Functional Requirements.
• Extract only observable emulator behavior, formats, controls, and compatibility expectations.
• Do not extract Vice-Sharp Technical Requirements from arbitrary VICE design choices; derive normal TRs from Vice-Sharp architecture docs and interfaces.
• Narrow exception: VICE source may create or clarify TRs only when the code encodes observable compatibility behavior that ViceSharp must match, such as cycle timing, bus arbitration, latch/readback semantics, invalid display-mode output, protocol timing, media pulse interpretation, or documented hardware quirks. Record the source file references and affected machine/profile for each such TR.
• Generated HTML/assets are excluded unless they contain non-duplicated text, such as keymap coverage notes.
