Lakka builds LIBRETRO_CORES minus the exclusions each project, device
and GLES image adds. Without a list, --target refused Lakka and its RPi1
pack carried firmware for cores the image does not build.
argparse completed a prefix into the only flag starting with it:
slots.py --emulator read profiles from a directory named after the
emulator and reported nothing, and pipeline.py --all built every pack
variant. Every parser now refuses an abbreviation.
A failed rev-parse in the MAME clone returned an empty commit, which
was cached for a day and let the merge advance the profile's version
and refs while its upstream pin stayed on the previous release. The
scrape now stops instead.
Six of the eight shared groups injected nothing: three were
included by no platform, three repeated System.dat entry for entry,
so a correction made in them reached no pack. They are removed with
their scraper wiring, and a test requires every remaining group to
contribute an entry somewhere.
Recalbox builds seven board images with different emulators. The new
target scraper reads each board's defconfig against the package every
system.ini core names. The names that reached no profile are mapped to
the projects Recalbox builds or profiled from their source, and the
mupen64plus video plugins are set aside.
ROCKNIX builds a different emulator set per SoC, and without a target
list an H700 handheld received the PS2, PS3 and GameCube firmware of
emulators its image lacks. The new target scraper reads the emulators
metapackage per device; seven cores ROCKNIX ships get profiles and the
Super Famicom Box ROMs one of them needs are collected.
Thirty platform system ids, such as sufami, pokemini, vsmile, and
Recalbox's comma-joined msx1,msx2, matched no system any profile
names, so no core file was attributed to them and --system missed them.
The scraper maps now carry those names, and a test holds every platform
system to a profile system apart from two named folds.
The target scraper treated every select in Config.in as unconditional
and never set the symbols Buildroot sets, so nearly every board listed
the same 171 cores and xroar, which needs OpenGL, reached none. Selects
now fire from their own config, to a fixed point, from the flags each
board file sets, with Buildroot's arch and OpenGL provider rules read at
the commit Batocera pins. A board that builds no image is no target.
RetroDECK filed coco as tandy-coco and Dragon as dragon-32-64, MiSTer
filed COCO3 as tandy-coco and Recalbox kept its raw ids, so none of
them met xroar's coco, coco3 and dragon64 and its ROMs reached no
system. The scraper maps now agree and a test holds every shared
native id to one system.
BizHawk embeds ares as Ares64, its N64 core, whose 64DD IPL its own
FirmwareDatabase declares. Mapped to the whole ares profile, it pulled
thirty systems into the BizHawk pack and made slots accuse
FirmwareDatabase.cs of a wrong MSX.rom it never declared for ares.
ROCKNIX was declared libretro-only although it packages duckstation,
dolphin, ppsspp and 33 other emulators standalone, and its BIOS list
was read on the next branch under the latest release's version. The
scraper now reads the release tag and lists RetroArch plus every
standalone package.
Recalbox compiles libretro/mame at 0.258 and 0.278 itself; typed
libretro, both profiles were resolved for every all_libretro platform
although the buildbot RetroArch installs from has neither. A profile
now names the platforms that build it (built_by), and is reached only
when a platform lists it by name.
RetroBat's platform file carried no core list, and a registry list
copied from Batocera stood in with ports RetroBat never runs and none
of its standalone emulators marked as such. The scraper now reads
es_systems.cfg at the release tag: libretro cores, and every other
emulator as standalone.
es_bios.xml names only the cores that need a BIOS, so a hand-kept
registry list stood in, with mame and mamemess that Recalbox does not
ship and without vice, ymir, vircon32 and others it does. The scraper
now reads each system.ini of recalbox-romfs2 at the scraped tag, and
the registry list is gone.
Recalbox ships libretro/mame built at 0.258 and at 0.278, and no
profile described either release. mame_hash_scraper gains --release,
which reads the BIOS root sets at one mamedev tag and writes a profile
pinned to it; mame0258 and mame0278 are generated from it, every
source_ref anchored at its tag.
Batocera's cores were read from configgen-defaults.yml, one per system,
and a hand-kept registry list overrode even that; DOSBox Staging,
melonDS DS and nine other cores a user can pick in ES were outside the
pack, while mamemess, which Batocera does not ship, was in. The
scraper now reads es_systems.yml, the registry list is gone, and the
target scraper names standalone emulators (amiberry, fsuae, vice)
instead of only the machines listed under them.
