hypseus-singe, flycast-dojo, lindbergh-loader and vvvvvv read gamecontrollerdb.txt without naming a hash. The name step only set aside copies in other emulators' trees, so a copy in a game's folder under Game Engines/ ranked with any neutral one, and index order handed them C-Dogs' 98-line database. A game folder's copy now ranks after a neutral copy. The community SDL_GameControllerDB is collected at commit ff333823 (git blob 25146be7) as that neutral copy.
The name step refuses a candidate outside the size an entry validates, but the path step returned any hashless file at the tail as path_exact, a proof slots arbitration trusts. A 32 KB cpc6128.rom at ZEsarUX's tail would have been served for its 48 KB composite. No profile hits it today.
PCSX2x6 reads bin/resources/GameIndex.yaml, an arcade database keyed by NM gameid. The shortened tail resources/GameIndex.yaml matched four files, and the resolver set aside the three in other emulators' trees before measuring ambiguity, so PCSX2's console database passed for path proof and shipped in the PCSX2x6 pack. Ambiguity is now read before that filtering. A tail indexed from an identical copy is kept even when the database records the other copy's path.
PCSX2x6's GameIndex.yaml and RedumpDatabase.yaml are collected from its repository at the pinned 583f0e90 (git blobs ed8232e3 and 8669b3af).
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
