install/<platform>.json wrote the constant "1.0" as the version of the
list it was built from. The manifest now carries the version the platform
YAML records, and generate_pack refuses a YAML without one.
inherits: no longer passes a parent's version to a child: Lakka was
published as RetroArch v1.22.2 in its manifest, pack name and site page.
lakka.yml records v6.1, the Lakka-LibreELEC tag its target list is read
at. The MiSTer scraper refuses a BiosDB without a timestamp instead of
writing an empty version.
A pack's manifest.json records list_version, so an install from the pack
alone knows it too. Manifests regenerated twice and compared: only
version and generated changed.
After the second bring-to-head pass: 40 bumps, ten profiles by hand,
five off-forge apps, the G-NET BIOS sets and the new hiscore.dat.
Manifests generated twice, identical.
After section A of the round 5 audit and the ROCKNIX standalone profiles
(data_root on 58 profiles, 67 display names, three alias folds, 33 core
names mapped, scummvm and vice standalone, yabasanshiro both modes).
Manifests generated twice, identical.
Each manifest carries system_titles, the name the site prints for every system its files list (Sony PlayStation, not sony-playstation or psx), so the installer can show it. Older installers ignore the field.
DS and DSi split into Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. 64DD, Mega-CD,
ZXSpectrum, VSmile, BBC and Game Engines/DOOM merge into the folder
of the same console. Same-named dumps with other bytes are kept:
BBC Micro's earlier zips in .variants/, the vsmilem set in vsmilem/,
the Doom II 1.666 IWAD in v1.666/, BizHawk's DSi firmware in bizhawk/.
Galaksija and Vircon get a console folder, sdlpal's desc.dat joins
its tree, VICE's PET and CBM-II ROMs leave C128 with their vice/ tail.
Database and manifests regenerated together. Verify and cross
reference give the same result once moved paths are mapped.
Pin moves to 2de3bf8 (v8.4.2). roms/aros-ext.bin, roms/aros-rom.bin and whdboot/game-data/whdload_db.json changed upstream and are collected at that revision. The WHDLoad database is matched on the archive SHA1 first and refreshed from the bundled copy when newer. kick02019.AROS and its .ext are names the Recalbox launcher writes, so the profile now documents the kickstart_rom_file settings instead.
The published manifests still described what the builder produced before
today's fixes. RetroArch's listed 55 files from another emulator's tree -
an Android package's banner, icons and Noto fonts - to be installed into
a BIOS directory, and omitted the six regional DSi NAND dumps a
filename-agnostic core accepts.
Across the twelve platforms: 199 files no longer listed, 36 newly
listed. Generated from the committed profile set and the committed
database so the revision stays consistent with itself.
