DS and DSi split into Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. 64DD, Mega-CD,
ZXSpectrum, VSmile, BBC and Game Engines/DOOM merge into the folder
of the same console. Same-named dumps with other bytes are kept:
BBC Micro's earlier zips in .variants/, the vsmilem set in vsmilem/,
the Doom II 1.666 IWAD in v1.666/, BizHawk's DSi firmware in bizhawk/.
Galaksija and Vircon get a console folder, sdlpal's desc.dat joins
its tree, VICE's PET and CBM-II ROMs leave C128 with their vice/ tail.
Database and manifests regenerated together. Verify and cross
reference give the same result once moved paths are mapped.
bios/Commodore/C128/vice/C128/kernal-318034-01.bin held 32768 bytes
where VICE reads 16384. It was two ROMs end to end: kernal64-325182-01
followed by the Swedish kernal the name promises. The RetroArch, Lakka
and RetroPie manifests shipped it, so the file reaching users was one
the emulator cannot load.
The second half is the genuine dump, and it matches every value
vice/src/c128/c128rom.h:104 declares: 16384 bytes, sha1 925177c9,
md5 78529222, crc32 1cf7f729. The same bytes are in the VICE tree at
the revision the profile pins. The assembly is kept in .variants/ under
its own hash, though both halves were already held separately.
Supermodel's Games.xml is collected in the same pass, from the commit
the profile pins. It is the ROM database the loader parses at startup,
so without it no set resolves and the launch returns before the
emulator is built.
shared groups in _shared.yml: np2kai, keropi, quasi88, kronos, ep128emu
with source references for each subdirectory requirement.
libretro_scraper: CORE_SUBDIR_MAP applies subdirectory prefixes at
generation time (np2kai/, keropi/, dc/). EXTRA_SYSTEMS adds QUASI88.
SYSTEM_SHARED_GROUPS injects includes for kronos/np2kai/keropi.
new BIOS: CPS3 (23 ZIPs), Cannonball OutRun (40 ROMs), PCem PC BIOS
(73 files), VICE Commodore ROMs, Spectrum ZIPs, dc_bios.bin, X1 fonts.
new emulator profiles: redream, melonds_ds, lrps2 with doc vs source
notes. platforms/README.md documents shared groups architecture.
