A record naming several files of one config lists their keys in the
same order (describe_keys). Each launcher place now carries its own
key, so AmberELEC's 5200a.rom receives the ROM_5200_A file.
atari800 reads each ROM path from its config key (sysrom.c:123-149,
616-623) and identifies a file by the CRC32 of its slot (sysrom.c:89-
108). AmberELEC's atari800.cfg sets ROM_5200_A, ROM_BASIC_A and
ROM_BASIC_B to 5200a.rom, BASIC_Rev_A.rom and BASIC_Rev_B.rom.
RetroBat and Batocera list ps3_ps2_emu_bios.bin, the PS2 BIOS the PS3
carries for ps2_emu. RPCS3 installed the held PS3UPDAT.PUP (4.90,
sha1 093f8698) and decrypted dev_flash/ps2emu/ps2_emu.self, and the
image is the span firmware_bios_claim release 2 cuts, padded to 4 MiB.
Its romdir parses and ROMVER reads 0220JD20121227. Two runs give the
same bytes, sha1 2dc921be.
MAME and libretro MAME pass /userdata/bios/<bootdisk>.img with -flop1
when the option is in the generator's list, else <bootdisk>.chd with
-hard. Each branch is a {bootdisk} template: the list the code tests
for the floppy, and for the hard disk the choices es_features.yml
offers that the list does not take. The menu offers macos3 while the
code tests macos30, so System 3.0 is passed as macos3.chd.
configureINI writes [Folders] Bios = ../../../bios/ps2 into
inis/PCSX2.ini, which PCSX2 and AetherSX2 resolve against the config
folder configgen hands it. relative_folders reads the call, the ini
path and the value, and records the resolved /userdata/bios/ps2 as a
passes_path for pcsx2 and aethersx2.
A copies record names its files under search_dir, the folder the code
copies from, and passes_to is the target, as the schema and RetroPie,
RetroDECK and AmberELEC already write it. KNULLI listed patches.zip
under the BIOS folder it is copied into, and KNULLI and RetroBat wrote
the target as prose with the condition. The condition of a copy now
goes in depends_on_option. Only launcher records change in knulli.yml
and retrobat.yml.
RetroDECK sets LRPS2's pcsx2_bios to scph10000.bin. The record names
the frontend, so the core is the one whose entry reads that setting.
Its entry is a placeholder, and the name spells a model: the held dump
the catalogues describe as SCPH-10000 goes in under that name in the
entry's directory, primaries first, then the earliest Redump revision
(ps2-0100j-20000117).
A launcher name that a reader's profile entry declares unsourceable is
no file left to find. Its row carries the reason and both reports
print it under its own count, never mixed with the names to acquire.
RetroBat copies bios/scummvm/extra/Roland_SC-88.sf2 to DOSBox Pure and
DOSBox Staging and offers it in the soundfont option
(DosBoxStaging.Generator.cs:246-252, 336-344). No canonical file of
that name exists, and both emulators take any SoundFont
(dosbox_pure_libretro.cpp:1380-1412, fluidsynth.cpp:194-230).
amberelec_launchers reads runemu.py with ast and, at the commit the
scraper pins, the scripts its standalone table runs and the configs
their packages install: RetroArch and retrorun directories, the MAME
-rp path, atari800.cfg, Hatari's default TOS, amiberry's kickstarts
link and defaults, yabasanshiro, PICO-8, piemu, scummvm, freej2me and
easyrpg. 17 records.
The freej2me-lr.jar and pico8_64 notes now name the file in a sentence
about the emulator, as test_launcher_aliases asks once a launcher
records it.
knulli_launchers reads KNULLI's configgen and the PICO-8 installer at
the tag the scraper pins: Batocera's extractors where the generator is
still Batocera's code, KNULLI's own for lexaloffle, libretroOptions and
knulli-install-pico8, and one AST reader for the BIOS paths the other
generators pass on a command line, in a config key or the environment,
copy or test for. 52 records.
Configgen takes the configgen package path and whether the importer has
a legacy map, so KNULLI's copy at package/system/knulli-configgen reads
with the same extractors. hatari accepts the bare filename KNULLI builds
and joins to BIOS, and options read by subscript or isOptSet. melonds
accepts a console type read by subscript. Batocera's records are
unchanged at batocera-43.1.
FluidSynth 2.0.6 (EmuELEC fluidsynth-git, PKG_SHA256 matched) loads
any argument whose header is RIFF sfbk and names no SoundFont.
SC-55.sf2 is named only by emuelec-utils:67 and no EmuELEC package
or script installs or fetches it, so the entry is unsourceable: user
supplied, no canonical file.
XM7 plays fddseek.wav, relay_on.wav and relayoff.wav from its data
directory (linux-sdl/sdl/api_snd2.cpp:155-159, 213-267). The three come
from Win32/ of the XM7 V3.4L77SX+z09 final release archive by PI. and
Ryu Takegami, archived on archive.org as xm7tr_3477sxz09.
ROCKNIX's Amiberry configs pass kick34005.A500.rom and
kick40068.A1200.rom, Amiberry's names for Kickstart 1.3 and 3.1 with
.rom appended. Amiberry opens the path as given and boots AROS without
it, so the pack now ships the held ROM under the launcher's name.
Amiberry names every Kickstart its ROM table lists by SHA-1, whatever
the file is called (src/rommgr.cpp:144-378), and a model takes the
first ROM id of its list (src/cfgfile.cpp). The profile carried one of
the 58 images. WHDLoad booting links eight of them into its Kickstarts
folder under their kickNNNNN names (amiberry_whdbooter.cpp:368-375),
which the entries now answer to.
Each blob is TWLCFG 0x88-0x1AF, HWINFO_N 0x88-0x9B and HWINFO_S 0x88-0x9F, read from a retail NAND dump by DSperate's own nand_boot_blobs at ddf2910e. The primary comes from dsi_nand.bin, the seven others from the regional dumps and the dsi_nand.bin variant.
emuelec_launchers.py reads emuelecRunEmu.sh and the scripts and
configs it starts at the tag batocera-systems is read at (v4.8): 36
records for RetroArch, retrorun, freej2me, MAME, PICO-8, Flycast,
Amiberry, DuckStation, Yabasanshiro, jzIntv, Mupen64Plus, Hatari,
AdvanceMAME, ScummVM, Dolphin and the MIDI synths.
The note named freej2me-lr.jar only in its ROCKNIX sentence, so a
launcher record naming the jar read as a platform choice.
freej2me_libretro.c:488 joins it to the system directory.
sdltrs reads its three ROM slots from the romfile1, romfile3 and
romfile4p options (src/trs_options.c:323-325). RetroPie passes
-romfile4p $biosdir/level4p.rom under the emulator id sdltrs-model4p,
so the pack ships the 4 KB Model 4P boot ROM under that name.
ares binds each firmware path to <system>/Firmware/<type>.<region>
(desktop-ui/settings/settings.cpp:263-264, 280-283). EmuDeck writes a
No-Intro name into NeoGeoPocket and NeoGeoPocketColor BIOS.World, so
the pack now ships the held BIOS under that name.
A search a launcher stops at the first held name of is filled, and a
copy from the platform's own package or script brings its own file:
neither is a name the collection lacks. A launcher that writes its
file into the setting a profile entry is read from (config_key) now
receives that entry's held file under its own name, in the report and
in the pack.
dsperate-headless reads a 0x154-byte console data blob through --dsi-boot and stops on any other size. The flag has no default, so the name is a label. Without it the bytes come from the NAND's TWLCFG and HWINFO files, are generated for DSiWare run without a NAND, or stay zero in card mode.
openMSX reads the SVI-738 and SVI-738 SE machines' ROMs by the
SHA-1s their machine XMLs list. The disk and BASIC ROMs come from
the MAME svi738 set and match the XML, TOSEC and MAME hashes. The
SE BASIC and RS-232 ROMs were already held under other names.
LoadFileToIPL reads a standalone font with no size check, keeping what fits in the IPL image. The sizes stay as the IPL dump fonts' lengths and the notes say so. No HLE stands in for a missing font: the IPL read raises an alert and the game runs on, so hle_fallback goes.
The standalone runs without the MCPX ROM and the disk image, queuing an error, and stops only without a flash ROM: vl.c clears autostart. bootrom_path, flashrom_path and hdd_path have no default, so their names are labels and the standalone entries lose path. The core still refuses to load without the MCPX ROM or the flash.
The merge of 6c1446886 took one side of wiki/installer.md for its generated samples and dropped four hand-written changes from the other (folder browser text, --restore row, muOS card text, a kept-file sample). Redone as a three-way merge, samples regenerated.
The engine checks no hash: only the Windows installer compares the packages.nsh MD5s, so validation and verification go. The content pack stays required from LoadKernel, which exits without a .rmp index at the content root and names the pack.
A list naming retroarch now takes the libretro profiles whose built_by names the platform: ROCKNIX ships yabadabadoo with its RetroArch and named it nowhere, so its files never reached the ROCKNIX pack. Only change across the registry: rocknix + yabadabadoo. Also quotes the installer's current unproven-drive message.
prepare_dsi_hle refuses a TWLFontTable.dat under 256 bytes and reads its layout from bytes 0x84 and 0x86, warning on a mismatch. No hash is checked, so the three retail NAND sha1s go, and one entry states the size floor and the three layouts.
Batocera's lexaloffleGenerator runs bios/pico-8/pico8 and
bios/voxatron/vox, raises when the binary is missing or not
executable, and puts each folder on LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The new
extractor records both per system from the AST, with the lines
of batocera-43.1 that say it.
