Both run on Linux but inherited RetroArch's case folding, so a core
file differing from a platform name only by case left their packs:
MesenCE's bios.col and np2kai's lowercase 2608_*.wav, which those
cores open with that exact case. They are now case-sensitive, the
shared groups fold only where the platform does, and Lakka gets its
own pack instead of sharing RetroArch's.
lrps2 names no hash for its GameIndex.yaml, and the only full-tail
copy was ARMSX2's: it counted as path proof and replaced the file
RetroArch pins on desktop targets, which have no ARMSX2. Upstream
PCSX2 took ARMSX2's patches.zip by name the same way. A copy in
another emulator's tree now proves nothing at any tail length, and
LRPS2's own GameIndex comes from the tree the buildbot publishes.
Recalbox compiles libretro/mame at 0.258 and 0.278 itself; typed
libretro, both profiles were resolved for every all_libretro platform
although the buildbot RetroArch installs from has neither. A profile
now names the platforms that build it (built_by), and is reached only
when a platform lists it by name.
The home page and the stats export counted every file carrying a
provenance record, the provenance page and the README only the system
files. The site published 553 and 566 for the same quantity, one click
apart, and the export paired the wider count with composition.systems as
its denominator. common.count_catalog_matched is now the single source,
scoped to the systems bucket.
The FAQ had drifted from the profiles it describes: MAME pinned at 0.287
against 0.289 in mame.yml, Adler-32 attributed to Dolphin's IPL rather
than the DSP ROMs that carry known_hash_adler32, and the per-emulator
verbose report named as the only content check on an existence platform,
which skips the DISCREPANCY line the platform report raises itself.
Tests read both sides: no generator may count matches inline, and each
FAQ claim is checked against the profile or the script that owns it.
