BizHawk's NDS firmware slot accepts six dumps, two of which the collection holds, and the profile named one. Kega Fusion's US Mega CD BIOS covers the Americas. Sonic 3 A.I.R. data is installed by Batocera in unpacked form. izApple2 downloads its ProDOS images when a card is added, which is no install. The Lakka list now equals a case-keeping RetroArch install less what Lakka's packages install, and the profile hash contradiction count leaves out entries no pack ships. The pipeline table names step 8b.
A file the emulator installs itself is left out of the packs, per build and per platform. The profiling guide documents bundled, installed_on and not_bundled_on, the FAQ says why a file the emulator reads may be missing from a pack, and an emulator page names the build that installs it and the platforms whose package differs.
The gaps page and the Advanced usage, Verification modes, Release process and Testing guide pages titled in Title Case beside sentence-case pages. A test now reads every wiki heading.
100 emulator names the two platforms run had no profile, so their packs carried nothing for them. Each was read from the platform's own launcher or scriptmodule: the same program as an existing profile takes the name in cores:, a different build gets its own profile read from that version, a launcher or self-contained game goes to remove_cores, and the rest are new profiles written from their source or shipped binary. The files they need that the collection lacked are collected from the upstream distributions. Bungie and splitwolf trees are read by path and stay out of dedup.
Twenty-one topics were bold lines ending in a colon: MkDocs gave them no anchor to link from an issue and left them out of the page contents. They are headings now, and the prose test refuses the form.
A file installed with its emulator is already on the user's machine and the packs leave it out. bundled_only.py lists the collected copies nothing else needs: no platform declares them, no entry of any build needs them, no install manifest ships them.
A profile that reads a libretro core and the original emulator cited both trees alike, and readers could not tell whether the core or the emulator asked for a file. A cited path now opens with source or upstream, the repository its lines are in. Emulator code a port carries is attributed upstream when the original holds the same value on the cited line.
profile_sync --attribute-refs writes the words from where the lines are found and follows a word already written. The site links each citation to that repository's pin, labels it libretro core or upstream emulator, and says on each file card whose code asks for it. A recale keeps the word, and mame_ref_audit reads the tree it names.
The release built and checked the RetroPie pack with two commands after the pipeline, which left it out of the verify and pack consistency check. pipeline.py --include-archived builds and checks it with the rest.
The pack table, its parts sentence and the install commands were typed by hand from figures release.json already held. A copied cell or an old collection total at the top is how issue 81 happened. release_notes.py renders them and appends the hand-written account of what changed.
PR validation runs validate_schemas.py --source-only and the pipeline did not, so a profile with an unquoted numeric core name passed every step and failed CI on push. It is step 0 now, skipped where jsonschema is not installed.
Paid Android emulators announce versions that circulate only rebuilt or re-signed. The profile stays on the newest unmodified build, and version_source.no_genuine_copy names the release searched for, so check_freshness stops flagging it until the page announces a later one.
--check counted the required files the list leaves out and named none, then said all files were up to date. A Recalbox user asking why Caesar III would not start learned nothing, though the list names c3.555. The count line no longer calls a file not found unsafe.
The guides said files over 50 MB become release assets and that RPG Maker and ScummVM were the trees kept out of dedup. .gitignore decides the first, four committed files are over 50 MB, and NODEDUP_DIRS holds eleven trees.
About forty profiles describe projects published outside any forge (Altirra, ePSXe, DraStic, mednafen, xroar). profile_sync skipped them as an unsupported host and check_freshness reported the same UNKNOWN line every run, so a new release adding a firmware went unseen. A profile can now name the page announcing its releases and a pattern for the version: --check-version reads it, and check_freshness --profiles calls the profile stale when the page announces another version than core_version.
Lakka's image writes the board in /etc/os-release: LIBREELEC_DEVICE when built for a device, LIBREELEC_PROJECT otherwise, the very names of our Lakka targets. The installer read the board on Batocera, Recalbox and ROCKNIX only, so a Lakka RPi4 installed 5.7 GB of every board's files where its own needs 4.0.
CONTRIBUTING and the testing guide installed pyyaml and jsonschema only, while the CI test job also installs markdown. On a contributor's machine the wiki heading test skipped and the run read OK. Both name it now, and a test compares them to the packages the tests import.
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
No gradient banner, no coloured stripes or dots beside cards, no lifting cards, pill badges or small-caps headers. File blocks are separated by a rule, tables keep the theme's own size, and headings no longer repeat the site name the header bar already shows. Classes nothing emits were removed.
Windows rules ran under WSL with C:\ paths read as relative and no Windows variables, so nothing was found and a forced RetroBat install went to ~/bios inside the distribution.
BizHawk reads the Firmware folder next to EmuHawk wherever the archive was extracted. The installer looked in ~/.config/BizHawk/Firmware, which no build reads, and wrote there when nothing was found.
Manifests list each data directory's source archive and the hash of
every file; the installer rebuilds the tree from the archive and keeps
only the files whose hash matches.
The RetroArch list is folded for Windows and macOS. Its manifest
now carries the names a case-keeping directory also needs, and the
installer adds them after probing the BIOS directory.
Fifty options appeared in no page. fileless_audit also gains --all, so
its example sweeps instead of naming three settled profiles, and it and
download.py --info now fail on an unknown name or an unreachable source.
RomM's verify_file_hashes compares the size, then md5, sha1 or crc. We
compared md5 alone, so a fixture entry with one mistyped hash was left out
of the pack RomM would accept it from. The rule is declared in romm.yml
and read by verify, the builder and the manifest.
