GC/EUR/IPL.bin fell through to its bare name and the union of five regions, so a Batocera or standalone Dolphin pack never reduced it. The GameCube IPLs of four Dolphin-family profiles now name their system, as the MMJR profiles do.
The manifest resolved core files without the data directories: blueMSX's pack carried its own MSX2P.rom while the manifest named another dump for the installer.
A multi-system profile shipped every entry: the Lynx system pack carried 34 PlayStation, Saturn and Apple II files from mednafen. The entry's own system decides, as the platform pack and the installer already do.
Upstream reads any .rom/.bin, .fls/.nor, .nand and .nand0 in the model directory and refuses two files in one slot. The pc1000.fls alias described a name that would now stop the PC1000.
Upstream compiles Opera Boot into the core as the default BIOS and reads opera-boot.bin from the system directory. Every retail BIOS becomes optional; opera-boot.bin is collected from the opera-boot release, identical to the embedded image.
The refs described upstream's libretro.c while source_commit named the fork, where the loader moved to src/ and a missing ROM now shuts the core down cleanly. A bump no longer advances a pin no ref resolves in.
xm6typeg took XM6 Utility's synthesized SCSIINROM.DAT while the X68000 dump sat under another casing; blueMSX took a 16 KB RS232.ROM once msx-emu's 8 KB copy was set aside, though data/bluemsx held its own.
The LaserActive v1.05 variant read WONDER-MEGA BOOTROM 1.00W at 0x100, as No-Intro and TOSEC name it. It moves to the Mega CD tree and the catalogued v1.05 (md5 927df773) takes its place.
verify kept the worst verdict on the raw destination, the builder the first one it read. Both now key on the sanitized path and let a declaration that holds a file fill one that finds nothing.
Manifests list each data directory's source archive and the hash of
every file; the installer rebuilds the tree from the archive and keeps
only the files whose hash matches.
