LoadFileToIPL reads a standalone font with no size check, keeping what fits in the IPL image. The sizes stay as the IPL dump fonts' lengths and the notes say so. No HLE stands in for a missing font: the IPL read raises an alert and the game runs on, so hle_fallback goes.
The standalone runs without the MCPX ROM and the disk image, queuing an error, and stops only without a flash ROM: vl.c clears autostart. bootrom_path, flashrom_path and hdd_path have no default, so their names are labels and the standalone entries lose path. The core still refuses to load without the MCPX ROM or the flash.
The engine checks no hash: only the Windows installer compares the packages.nsh MD5s, so validation and verification go. The content pack stays required from LoadKernel, which exits without a .rmp index at the content root and names the pack.
prepare_dsi_hle refuses a TWLFontTable.dat under 256 bytes and reads its layout from bytes 0x84 and 0x86, warning on a mismatch. No hash is checked, so the three retail NAND sha1s go, and one entry states the size floor and the three layouts.
Batocera's lexaloffleGenerator runs bios/pico-8/pico8 and
bios/voxatron/vox, raises when the binary is missing or not
executable, and puts each folder on LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The new
extractor records both per system from the AST, with the lines
of batocera-43.1 that say it.
Traced runs of the 0.2.7 binaries, the raspi readme and the manual: settings, controller maps, favourites and the Voxatron cart list and player profile, all written by the program. Binary notes say what each build links.
One entry per file a launcher reads: pico8 per architecture, pico8_64,
pico8_dyn, pico8_gpio and pico8.dat, read in Batocera, KNULLI, Recalbox,
ROCKNIX, AmberELEC, EmuELEC, RetroDECK, ArkOS and ES-DE launchers.
