"Control Program" is not actually confirmed... MAME calls it "Arcadia System BIOS" but I don't know their source. The six revisions call themselves either "OnePlay Control Program" or "TenPlay Control Program", but which one should it be for the VGMPF? --Professor Chaos (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2023 (EDT)

Found a flyer that confirms most terminology! The acronym "GCP" is used three times, and unless otherwise noted, on all six versions:
  1. Printed on the ROM chips of version 2.11 at least (photo).
  2. AmigaOS interrupt node name. Programmers stuff. ;)
  3. If the WinUAE-specific file arcadia.nvr doesn't exist, the boot screen will casually say "Initializing GCP NonVolatile RAM".
