The game database now merges resources/emucorex_overrides.yaml over
GameIndex.yaml (GameDatabase.cpp:1274-1278), and a libvulkan_malisx2.so
driver is kept only on the Mali GPUs GpuDriverCompatibility.kt:204-208
lists. tfx.glsl changed upstream. Both convert.glsl entries now carry
the size and sha1 of the vendored tree.
Build scripts now fetch PinMAME 652249e2; its cited lines only shifted. Music accepts an absolute script path, and PUP packs gain a PUPSOUNDS/ sound bank.
Adds the Memory Expansion Card ROM, the //c keyboard photo and the Monitor II and drive artwork, updates the //e keyboard photo, and follows the Virtual ][ list into VirtualIISoundCatalog.h with the Import sounds folder.
The converter now reads Plus.j2d of a JJ2+ install for the textured layers a level names, listed as an optional Source file. A Content tree holding Prebaked.pak skips the conversion, and a user Content directory beside Cache is searched first for content, music and translations. The rest of the loaders moved without a change in what they open.
hf.mpq now has its own CMake option, BUILD_MOD_MPQS, beside BUILD_ASSETS_MPQ. The loaders moved by two lines after a romfs search path was added for 3DS and Switch. Same files.
Upstream rebuilt the mediaclientaudio and scdv patch DLLs and added an epoc6 export to mediaclientaudio.dll.map. Two compatibility scripts were added, pottery_startup_fix.lua and wave_crash_fix.lua, and the first requires eka2l1.mem, now listed. The libretro fork only changed its link options. Refs into libmanager.cpp, graphics_ogl.cpp, screen.cpp and fbs.cpp are read on the standalone tree.
Firmware search and checks unchanged, the libretro code moved by seven lines. kAdamFirmwareMetadata no longer carries a SHA-1 per role, so the two sha1 fields go: the code knows size and CRC32 only.
Upstream replaced zn.c with the current MAME layout. The BIOS sets are now named after the board BIOS (coh1000c, coh3002c, coh1000t, coh1002m, coh1002v, coh1000a, coh1001l, coh1000w, coh1002e) and each carries its CAT702 key. Atlus, Time Warner and Raizing sets are dumped. New namcoc76.zip (Namco System 11 C76) and optional model1io.zip and model1io2.zip (Model 2 I/O boards). hiscore.dat changed, dotron.zip artwork added.
The pin already carried Cargo.toml version 0.13.2; HEAD only touches CI and the changelog. Prose citations now name load() at gb.rs:1377, load_boot_static at 1414 and load_boot_file at 1427.
The pin sat on master, the Dojo 6 line, while the releases are tagged
on the dojo branch (flyinghead f13d7ad plus the Dojo commits). At
dojo-7.8 (745815c): UseReios defaults to on, the boot ROM and flash
logic lives in hw/flashrom/nvmem.cpp, dc_nvmem.bin.net and the netplay
reios override are gone, font.bin is a compiled-in resource, BIOS ROMs
are matched by CRC32 then name, airlbios.zip is read by the two Airline
Pilots sets, and System SP (segasp.zip) is a platform. naomi.zip and
naomi2.zip gain the g, b, Korea and multi-region members.
Pin d409fe7, the commit of the v0.3a-20261022-git-d409fe7 Supermodel
Dojo release, built from the dojo branch. The branch merges trzy at
98fcbff, which adds Real3D Pro-1000 emulation: pro1000.zip (cpu_rom,
init_rom) and the optional Assets/3dlogo.cmem and .pmem. Games.xml now
holds 64 sets. The launcher in Frontend/ is replaced by an in-emulator
GUI, and ROMs/ and Replays/ are path types on every platform.
v1.8.0 (4e899aa) searches the system directory, then the directory of
the loaded game, each for the loose BIOS and then stvbios.zip
(ss.cpp:1540-1582). Same files, sizes and hashes.
The pin 53f53e0 is the 1.0.9 tag commit, and the build names itself
from git describe (Common/Version.cpp). 1.0.9 ships a single Windows
zip whose Sys/ fonts and codehandler.bin match the declared hashes.
The 20251112 APKs are built from tag commit 9198dc2. HEAD 302b0c3 is a
sibling commit off the same base that only adds shader caches under
cache/, so src/ and every ref are identical at both.
The pin b2ff53f is release 2.5-4 (tag 65f1d85) plus a README commit, versionName 2.5 in app/build.gradle. Bare Java file names in the notes now carry their app/src/main/java path. No file changed.
The port now merges PCSX2 ab0b401f and embeds patches.zip, packed from the pcsx2_patches submodule (pcsx2/CMakeLists.txt:1183-1205, pcsx2/Patch.cpp:292-331). The resources copy is read only with PCEE2_EXTERNAL_RESOURCES set. Same files.
Disk images now open through the frontend VFS (Libretro/libretro.c:149-162, src/disk.c:13-65). No system file. core_version is the pin's commit date, the source carries only the git rev.
Same four files. A CD BIOS outside the two CRC32 constants is accepted on a plausible run address (libretro.c:5706-5781), and a custom cart boot ROM must be exactly 131072 bytes (libretro.c:6010-6050). core_version follows CORE_BASE_VERSION in the Makefile.
Same five firmware sets and CRCs. On Auto a 1.44 MB floppy now selects the HG, the first model with a three-mode drive (src/geartowns_core.cpp:1968-1976).
libjavam3g.so rebuilt from changed m3g render context sources, hashed
from the 1.8.2-dev-1973 build. The config screen now copies picked
shaders and sound banks into their directories.
Base directory falls back to a Steam, GOG or Epic install when it has no
game data. The embedded pak gained crosshairs and a console background.
QuakeEX.kpf documented: it serves rerelease localization when no loose copy exists.
supertux runs only on EmuELEC, which builds 37cddf24 (v0.6.3), and
advanced_drastic only on KNULLI, which builds eaf41ab. Both pins stay on
those builds.
chocolate-doom, supertuxkart and fheroes2 run only on EmuELEC, piemu only
on AmberELEC, alephone only on RetroPie. Each of those builds a fixed
revision (package.mk PKG_VERSION, or the release-20250829 tag), so the
pin stays on it and profile_sync judges the profile against itself.
Every cited block was read again at HEAD: no ref left to review, no
file name or hash literal added to a cited file since the pin
(--detect-new-files --watch-hashes), refs recaled with their pins.
Profiles built by a platform at a fixed commit, or whose bump would
leave prose under an older pin, stay where they were.
trident cites the Panda3DS fork 3dsTrident vendors as a submodule, now
its upstream at the submodule pin 69095ee6. pce-emu, uqm and stonesoup
wrote paths from a subdirectory (PCE.emu/, sc2/, crawl-ref/), nesoid
named two Java files without their directory; lines unchanged, each read
at the pin.
The pages no longer take a binary citation (DesktopKinect.dll, an
address continuing a BAM.dll range) for a source path, and a Forgejo
tree is read page by page: mirrors/Ryujinx holds 4704 entries, 1000 a
page.
core_version is v0.1-12070: git describe at 4122fed9 counts 12,070 commits past tag 0.1, as gen_scmversion.sh does. The NTSC-U licence string is quoted as system.cpp:959 spells it, with its two spaces.
Read at each pinned commit: Azahar, Citra, Citra 2018, Panda3DS, Trident,
FS-UAE and Stella read these below the frontend save directory, Dolphin
and Ishiiruka below <save>/User, Cemu its MLC below <save>/Cemu. Each
profile names its library_name. Citra Canary reads sysdata from the
host data directory: its pin moves to the canary branch it is built from.
The buildbot's azahar_libretro is built from azahar-emu/azahar: the
2026-10-22 nightly carries g_scm_rev f570b53f (master, 2026-10-16) and
the key blob of src/core/hw/default_keys.h byte for byte. The profile
now reads that repository at tag 2126.2, whose file-loading code matches
f570b53f apart from licence headers.
The libretro core keeps its user directory under <save_dir>/Azahar/,
falling back to <system_dir>/Azahar/, so path: carries the Azahar/
prefix and standalone_path: the user directory layout. The embedded
keys.txt is the 2126.2 blob (sha1 5288772b). azahar-sa is ROCKNIX's
name for the same standalone.
KNULLI builds the SDL2 frontend of johndoe6345789/azahar_libretro at
c8d39853 as its azahar binary, so that fork moves to azahar-sdl.yml
with built_by: [knulli].
svg_bios.u49 is listed in svgpcbBIOSRomDesc (d_pgm.cpp:923-929), which only
STDROMPICKEXT(svgpcb, svgpcb, svgpcbBIOS) at line 7035 pulls in. The FBNeo
DAT likewise places it in svgpcb, and pgm's own list (pgmRomDesc, lines
879-892) has six members. The fbneo profile now files it under svgpcb.zip.
bios/Arcade/Arcade/pgm.zip is rebuilt as TorrentZip from the six members of
the FBNeo pgm recipe. The build is byte for byte the copy that was in
.variants/pgm.zip.6bbbce09, which goes. The two unpinned seven-member
copies (.variants/pgm.zip.931a4971 and MAME/.variants/pgm.zip.6ade4934)
go too: every member is still held, svg_bios.u49 as
bios/Arcade/FBNeo/svg_bios.u49. The pinned copies (87cc944e in MAME/,
68ef99a1 in .variants/) are untouched.
MAME renamed the Galaxy Games BIOS root from galgbios to galgames in 0.288 (galgames.cpp:1301, listxml of 0.288 and 0.289). mame.yml and mamearcade.yml document 0.289 yet still listed galgbios.zip; mamearcade lacked galgames.zip, which mame.yml already had. The release profiles mame0258 and mame0278 keep galgbios.
macs2os_l.bin and macs2os_h.bin are NO_DUMP from 0.135u4 to 0.289, and
handle_missing_file counts a missing NO_DUMP ROM as a warning or known
bad, never an error. recel is NO_DUMP at 0.258 as well. mame.yml,
mamearcade.yml, mame0258.yml and mame0278.yml come from the scraper
rerun, which also carries the systems mame.yml gained since 10-17.
