The rom folder survey joined 463 folders to their default core's whole
profile, no system of it matching. SYSTEM_ALIASES, the one table
_norm_system_id reads, now folds ten more spellings of one machine:
apple2gs, astrocade, astrocde, creativision, gamepocketcomputer,
nintendo-super-game-boy, cps1, cps2, cps3 and pgm. The profiles that
used them take the canonical id (mame, groovymame, mamemess, mame0258,
mame0278, bsnes, mesen-s, mesence, jollycv, fbalpha2012 and its three
CPS cores, fbneo_cps12), as test_system_ids requires.
With bsnes and bsnes-hd now filing SGB1.sfc under one system, their
claims fold onto one report entry. _names_content read only the first
claim, hashless, and nSide's SGB1.sfc/ tree took the path before the
file. A hash on any folded claim now counts: every pack keeps the
destinations it had.
The site drops the eight display names the canonical ids replace and
names tvgames. README counts 533 systems instead of 541.
core_version is read at each pin where version_basis says. MAME 2014,
2015, MESS 2015 and CDi 2015 state 0.159 in src/version.c (the libretro
wrapper reports 0.160), MAME/MESS sits on the 0.289 makefile of its pin,
FinalBurn Neo states 1.0.0.03 in src/burn/version.h, FB Alpha 2012 and
its CPS-3 build 0.2.97.30. mame_version of MAME 2014 and 2015 follows,
as MESS 2015 and UME 2015 already said.
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.
HiscoreInit opens <g_save_dir>/hiscore.dat (hiscore.cpp:411). Without
load_from the entry was packed at bios/hiscore.dat and took the slot
mame2000 reads on RetroDECK, which now gets its sha1-pinned file.
Entries without a system in multi-system profiles were left unattributed by the truth model, and four System.dat additions left the export. Each system is read from the core's code at its pin. hiscore.dat, cheats and history serve every running machine (mame2000 cpuintrf.c:664-666, mame2003 cpuexec.c:280-282, mame2003_plus cpuexec.c:296-298, fbneo hiscore.cpp:154-161 gated on BDF_HISCORE_SUPPORTED), all arcade in those builds, so arcade. BIOS sets take the id their driver gives in the other MAME profiles, and bctvidbs is barcrest-mpu4 everywhere. Files serving several systems of one build (groovymame data files, raine) keep no system. Core resolution is unchanged on every platform.
Every profile now has:
- profiled_date: date of source code analysis
- core_version: version from libretro-core-info .info files
- display_name: human-readable name from .info files
260/260 profiles complete. 294/294 libretro cores covered.
Standalone emulators (cemu, rpcs3, xemu, vita3k) versioned manually.
- Added profiled_date field to all 204 existing profiles for update tracking
- Created 56 alias profiles for cores that share BIOS with a parent
(e.g., mednafen_psx -> beetle_psx, fbalpha2012 -> fbneo)
260 total profiles covering all 294 libretro cores (204 unique + 56 alias).
