emulator: carried the file stem on 67 profiles, so site links read like ids. Each now takes the project's own name (libretro .info corename, README title, window title or site title). tests/test_profile_names.py allows the stem only on a commented list: lowercase project names, test cores, aliases and the template.
RetroBat's launcher layer now records the Saturn names its generators
pick. The ymir aliases are the libretro port's own kBiosFilenames, and
the SSF aliases label dumps of a slot whose file name SSF leaves free.
Both entries now say so next to their source_ref.
The libretro port reads sega_101.bin, mpr-17933.bin and saturn_bios.bin in that order, gives the first two the JP and US_EU regions by hash, and loads the candidate the ymir_region option or the disc area code asks for (apps/ymir-libretro/src/libretro.cpp:305-309, 596-606, 627-702, 1231-1238, 1290-1306 at 8174cbbe). Area K maps to KR, which neither image carries.
StrikerX3/Ymir answers as ymir-emu/Ymir, and the buildbot builds the libretro branch of warmenhoven/Emir, PR #746 having closed unmerged. The libretro build now reads all three BIOS names and picks one by region (apps/ymir-libretro/src/libretro.cpp:584-712, 1285-1306).
DuckStation (bios.cpp:208, 397-427), SwanStation (host_interface.cpp:
136-194), rustation (lib.rs:107-160), FS-UAE (rommgr.cpp:92-151),
ares (firmware.cpp:116-136) and Altirra (uifirmwarescan.cpp:29-113)
scan a folder and identify firmware by hash; Ymir does in its
standalone build only. FS-UAE still opens rom.key by name
(rommgr.cpp:1397-1498). The export then stops writing their labels
into platform lists: Batocera's psx block goes from 106 entries to 10,
and System.dat's scph5000.bin keeps its own hashes.
Ymir standalone identifies an IPL by its XXH128 with seed kIPLHashSeed (memory_defs.hpp:10) against ipl_db.cpp:9-17. Each image's digest was recomputed with that seed and falls on the cited row.
The standalone build loads it from the working directory then the profile root (app.cpp:5084-5119). The release packages ship it, the libretro tree never reads it.
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.
