A keep line gave every emulator the file of the first profile claim:
Recalbox's neocdz.zip line said geolith reads the archive fbneo reads.
The JSON 'expected' lists each file with its emulators (finding 4).
install.py took --list-platforms, generate_pack.py --list and verify.py
nothing. Both tools now take --list-platforms and print the same list
from common.py. generate_pack.py keeps --list (finding 80).
A file was matched by its container sha1 or md5 alone. A zipped_file
member, a Recalbox member digest, a RetroDECK sha256 and a RomM size and
crc32 are now read the way verify reads them, and an identical copy's
folder is where its variants go.
diff_truth read sha1, md5 and crc32 and let one shared value settle the
entry, while export_native corrected each of the four fields on its own.
contradicted_hashes is now the single decision both read.
--all --system built every pack asked for and exited 1 on a platform
that has no such system. The scope is now decided before the lock:
skipped under --all, refused under --platform (finding 15).
A system the target leaves no core for was verified 0/0 with exit 0,
and generate_pack blamed the platform for lacking it. Both read
platform_scope_systems and system_scope_error now (findings 13, 14).
A one-member archive whose member carries the zipped_file md5 under
another name has that md5 as its composite. The name step returned it as
md5_composite_exact, which slots and the site take as content proof, while
Batocera looks the member up by name and finds nothing.
A platform declaration that names only an md5 left the size check
undecided, and an undecided same-named match overrode a profile's
system:. The size the database holds for that md5 now refutes it: clk's
Oric basic10.rom no longer joins Batocera's BK list.
Only the first BIOS clause of a help string was read, so naomi2.zip and
segasp.zip went into flycast's Dreamcast sentence. A file now joins the
clause whose names the platform files under its system, or is not added.
reminiscence's Flashback module reunion resolved to skyline's
zoneinfo/Indian/Reunion through the case-insensitive name step, and the
emulator pack shipped the time-zone file. Another casing found only in
another emulator's tree says nothing about the entry.
A BiosDB entry is one record: md5, size and url describe one dump. The
first md5 the truth accepts replaced an accepted one with no change
reported. The exporter now writes record_hash, as RomM and System.dat do.
The first core to tag a file set its region. The pack's region index takes
the union of the tags and voids it on an untagged reader: the truth now
applies the same rule (psxonpsp660.bin, epr-17952a.ic8).
GitLab refused the hundred raw reads per IP. A GitLab directory is now
read from one archive request, else a shallow sparse git fetch, and the
cache keeps its file list so offline runs know what is absent.
Each board builds system.ini against its defconfig: a core whose package
the board does not enable is dropped (pisnes was the SNES default
everywhere), and a system with no core is not built. The row names the
default most boards share, board_defaults the others. A files: list
names whole files and is carried as files through the index and the
installer.
A folder no name resolves, run by a core of several machines, now holds
those machines: thomson, multivision and pcv2 had no fallback, so their
games got no file. Arcade-indexed cores keep naming files per set.
board_cores walked only the plain [core.N] sections and replaced a board
section whole. romfs2 systemholder.py reads a slot present as
[core.N.<board>] alone (gb and gbc bsnes on x86_64) and each key from the
board section, then <key>.<board>, then the plain key. The committed
target lists are unchanged on all seven boards.
A section shares its page's search fields, and "playstation 3 bios" found the PlayStation page before the Sony page that held the PS3. CONSOLE_PAGES splits Sony by console whatever the size. The search gate now expects the PlayStation 3 page in the top two for that query, the order of words being something Pagefind does not weigh, and the page first for "ps3 bios".
