The manual platform menu test expected /storage/system for Lakka on a computer. Lakka is a card setup now, so the menu finds its card's STORAGE part: the default-folder case uses RetroPie, and a Lakka case checks the card.
A data tree's archive came with no progress line, and the run ended on the BIOS bytes alone (310.5 KB where 82 MB arrived). Its download now draws the progress line and adds its bytes and time to the end line, a cut attempt taken back. It writes no progress event: those count the download event's files.
A BIOS folder this user cannot write no longer tries each data tree's archive and blames its URL with a raw errno. The tree is counted failed for the same cause as the BIOS files, so the summary keeps its one line and its advice.
Lakka keeps its BIOS on its STORAGE partition (/storage/system). A computer now tells that partition by the retroarch.cfg RetroArch writes there, whose system_directory is Lakka's /tmp/system overlay, and --platform lakka on a computer asks for the card instead of writing to /storage/system here.
Batocera and KNULLI write the image name, not the board, to the card's board file (post-image-script.sh). The target scraper now records each board's images from Config.in, the target lists carry them, and the installer maps a card's image to its board. KNULLI's boot/knulli.board is read too.
--list-targets offline was refused, and its advice to give --manifest or --from-pack was refused in turn. It now reads the boards where --target reads them: the pack's list or targets/<platform>.json beside --manifest.
The excerpt quotes verify over the whole collection. The PR workflow
restores none of the release assets, so the run there printed other
counts and failed on every push since the engine batch. The test now
names how many assets are absent and skips.
Step 5 builds the --required-only, --no-game-data, --region, --target
and --system packs of every platform in memory and compares their paths
with verify run under the same narrowing. verify_platform gains
required_only, generate_pack a record mode. A run samples three regions,
targets and systems per platform (155 packs, about 3 minutes);
--full-narrowings compares all 1,150 (25 minutes). A test fails when
_narrowings() gains a dimension that is neither compared nor exempted.
The published platform contract validates against platform.schema.json, which does not carry the resolver's per-entry system key. The two inheritance tests and the alias call check read the new entry shape, and the testing guide lists test_maker_folder_names.
Demul 0.7 reads 44 NAOMI BIOS rows from naomi.zip, the HOTD2, F355 and Airline Pilots BIOS among them. No copy held them all. The set is built with build_torrentzip from members already in the collection, each checked against the crc32 and sha1 of demul.exe's table, and kept in bios/Other/demul/. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat place it at bios/naomi.zip, the file MAME cores there also open, so it carries the nine MAME members the Demul table does not list.
The resolver left another emulator's own copy out of the member and superset ranking, so Flycast and the MAME cores keep the copies they were served.
A platform pack carried only the trees its own systems declared, so for_platforms reached RetroArch, Lakka and RetroPie alone and every other platform running blueMSX, FBNeo or Dolphin got no tree. The pack, the install list and the pipeline's tree members now add the trees of the libretro cores the platform runs, below the system directory and build folder the core reads, unless the platform installs or never opens them. A platform entry the manifest resolved into a carried tree becomes that tree's member, which the installer can fetch: AmberELEC and EmuELEC no longer hold 192 blueMSX machine configs back. stonesoup reads its tree beside the content and pcee2 compiles its resources in, so neither tree reaches a BIOS pack.
segadimm.zip holds fpr23905.ic36 and fpr23905c.ic36 under the same crc32, and segasp.zip four fpr-*.ic72 images. Ranked by crc32 alone, a copy missing some of them tied with the full set and the index order chose it. A crc32 that two declared members share now also requires the member name.
AmberELEC's nec-pc-88 declares DISK.ROM with an empty md5. QUASI88 reads
that name as n88sub.rom, the 2 KB PC-88 disk ROM (libretro.c:1085), but
the name step served the 16 KB MSX disk ROM, the only primary of that
name. The quasi88 alias never reached by_name, which refuses an alias a
primary already carries.
load_platform_config now writes each entry's system as platform_system.
A platform entry with no hash and no owning emulator, whose system id
names a maker, takes no name candidate filed under another maker, in
the name step and in the hash_mismatch step after it. When nothing is
left, by_shadowed_alias, the profile aliases by_name refuses, answers
within the system's maker folder. names_manufacturer and BUCKET_FOLDERS
move to common.py, and generate_site imports them.
Across every registered platform the only resolution that moves is
AmberELEC nec-pc-88 DISK.ROM, from bios/Microsoft/MSX/DISK.ROM to
bios/NEC/PC-88/N88SUB.ROM. Manifests, truth and exports are otherwise
byte-identical.
The --skip-packs help and the validate_pr fetch error were reworded, and a batocera page with no tab bar is plain Markdown that keeps the underscore entity, read here as a browser shows it.
The emulator card read entry_target from the consumers object, which the tests stand in for with a namespace. It is a module function now, and the pairing test resolves an archive member through it as the site does.
Follows dc14ccc56. No pk3 shipped at the ecwolf pin is c011b428: the
ECWolf 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 x64 zips carry 13fe8057, cc10cb70,
d312ebbe and 8f4f0387, the buildbot ECWolf.zip 653f7b37, and
src/libretro/ecwolf_pk3_data.c at 0cccd9a8 embeds a 191995-byte pk3,
1a3fd445. The bundled-identity table records the entry with that proof.
The pack suffix test of b20d65d12 missed the platform --system packs, which carry their system after it (_BIOS_Pack_Playstation.zip): their manifest was no longer injected and install.py refused them. A pack name holds _BIOS_Pack, then an optional tag, then .zip.
release-process.md listed tbblue.mmc, removed from bios/ on 2026-10-20, and left out uqm-remix-disc1.uqm. A test now reads the list against git ls-files.
reading-reports.md said the cross-reference checks whether a profile's files appear in the platform config, a rule by name. Since 2026-10-10 declaration_settles counts a declaration only at the core's slot or at a size the core accepts, and an alias only where the core reads it.
