A copy under .variants/ exists to hold a content its primary does
not. 29 held bytes another file already carried, under a second or
third identity: msx.rom and MSX.ROM variants equal to
MSX_8020-20bios.rom, naomi2.zip.da79eca4 whose suffix named the
primary's sha1 rather than its own. dedup now removes such a copy,
keeping one when only variants hold the content. The LaserActive
PAC-S10 BIOS lived only under .variants/ while RetroBat names it
without a hash; it moves beside its siblings.
The four MT-32 and CM-32L ROMs had a second copy in the Amiga
tree, and the identity exemption that hid the crossing named a
DOSBox tree instead. The copies move next to the Munt ROMs already
under Roland, and each exemption now names the makers it covers,
so a copy under a third one is reported.
ROCKNIX builds a different emulator set per SoC, and without a target
list an H700 handheld received the PS2, PS3 and GameCube firmware of
emulators its image lacks. The new target scraper reads the emulators
metapackage per device; seven cores ROCKNIX ships get profiles and the
Super Famicom Box ROMs one of them needs are collected.
RetroArch pins 23 ScummVM engine-data files and FBNeo's hiscore.dat at
revisions upstream history still holds; they are now collected. The
two profiles claim the revision their core is built from, so the pack
keeps serving the core its own files and the pins sit beside them.
Batocera 43.1 ships vkQuake, vkQuake2, vkQuake3 and a Supermodel held
at 0eef09ba for the Raspberry Pi 4; none had a profile, so a targeted
pack dropped them. Each profile is read from the commit Batocera
builds. Collected with them: the Quake 1.06 id1/pak0.pak, the same file
in the shareware and registered releases, and the Games.xml that
Supermodel revision installs.
Recalbox checks geolith/neocd.zip by the composite md5 of its members,
which is front-sp1.bin then top-sp1.bin: the Front and Top Loader
BIOS geolith reads inside neocd.zip, both already collected. The
archive is rebuilt as a TorrentZip variant and Recalbox's last
missing BIOS resolves.
