Choosing GBA alone brought FBNeo's cheats and samples, 3,472 files,
because both trees listed every FBNeo system. The profile now names the
systems each serves, from the code: a driver's <name>.ini, cheat.dat,
cheatnes.dat or cheatsnes.dat (conc.cpp:815-828, 1059-1083), the md_,
pce_, tg_ and sgx_ drivers the tree holds, and samples read by arcade
drivers alone (samples.cpp:886-899).
The list now gives a tree the platform's ids its systems normalize to,
as a core extra's: the cheats said sega-megadrive where RetroArch says
sega-mega-drive, and a tree no platform system serves goes with the
files of none, as the pack puts it. The installer keeps a tree for the
systems chosen by name, not for every system a shared file names: the
arcade choice took blueMSX's machines through msx.zip.
muOS names its GBA folder gameboyadvance first, which resolved to ares's
game-boy-advance. mgba lists nintendo-gba, so the fallback set was empty
and an unrecognised GBA game got no file. ares, dgen, picodrive, fbneo,
fbalpha2019 and emux_sms now use the ids the other profiles use, with
their old spellings kept as SYSTEM_ALIASES (bios.sms and fbneo's
Spectrum sets had fallen to the other bucket of the RetroArch list).
A folder whose name spells a machine its core does not run now also
holds the core's machines: a PC Engine CD folder run by mednafen_pce_fast
got no System Card. Install lists and install/games regenerated.
The manifest names the cores that read a tree no platform system
declares, every reader of a shared tree included. An install for the
games of a card keeps such a tree only when its plan runs one of them:
a SNES game on ArkOS (snes9x) no longer takes FBNeo's cheats and samples.
A system no setup names a core for keeps every core's tree.
--for-games --required-only on a dArkOS card from a computer kept every
file of the list: --dest skipped the card's detection, so its rom
folders were never found. The games part beside the BIOS folder now
names them. The manifest marks a data tree every core runs without
(optional), and --required-only leaves it out: one GBA and one SNES game
took FBNeo's cheats and samples, 3,472 files no game opened.
dsi_bios7.bin and dsi_bios9.bin hold the DSi Panda devkit boot ROMs, eMMC
key-Y zeroed. Every md5 and crc32 declared under those names designates
a retail dump in the same directory, yet hashless entries (RetroBat,
dsperate) got the devkit ROMs by name. by_proven_name maps such a name to
the proven primaries beside it. kick13.rom, dsi_firmware.bin and
spectrum.zip follow the same rule.
A tarball tree was announced at its extracted size: yaps2 at 6.5 MB for a 21.2 MB download, Cemu's game profiles at 9.9 KB for 21.4 MB. refresh_data_dirs records the size of each archive it downloads (a tree current from before is measured, not refetched), the install lists carry it as archive_size, and the plan, the menu and the data event count it.
Fourteen lists gain the data trees their cores read. AmberELEC and EmuELEC fetch the 192 blueMSX machine configs from the tree instead of holding them back, and RetroPie drops the blueMSX tree its lr-bluemsx module installs.
The resolver now keeps a name inside its own emulator tree and the retail Xbox dashboard files moved to bios/Microsoft/Xbox/C/, so the install lists, README counts, installer samples and games index are rebuilt from the merged tree. Built twice, identical.
Same files per platform. The manifests catch up with the per-system MAME
filing, the platform system join and declared_in, and name sfiii2a.zip as
missing. The games index fallback sets and the installer page samples
follow.
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.
