dsi_bios7.bin and dsi_bios9.bin hold the DSi Panda devkit boot ROMs, eMMC
key-Y zeroed. Every md5 and crc32 declared under those names designates
a retail dump in the same directory, yet hashless entries (RetroBat,
dsperate) got the devkit ROMs by name. by_proven_name maps such a name to
the proven primaries beside it. kick13.rom, dsi_firmware.bin and
spectrum.zip follow the same rule.
On a platform that writes bios/ in front of its destinations (RetroDECK, AmberELEC, EmuELEC), a core extra was grouped, dropped and held under its bare destination while the platform's declaration of the same file used bios/<name>. Beetle PSX's scph5501.bin was kept by the --region japan pack while the declaration was dropped and the installer dropped the path. extra_region_key keys every extra with the platform's declared root, in the builder, the manifest selection, verify's replay and the omissions. The same key gives the declared entries the systems of the core files at their path: every --system case of RetroDECK differed between pack and installer before, none does now.
PCSX2 stats <bios>.rom1 then <stem>.rom1, case-sensitive on Linux (BiosTools.cpp:214-229), and so does PCSX2 1.6 for erom. The pack wrote the stored SCPH-70004.ROM1, never found. A companion entry also seeded a scan of its own with a 4 MB bound and swept cheats, GameIndex.yaml and DVD firmware to the BIOS root. A companion now scans its image's folder for its own extension only, any size, since the code reads min(size, filesize), and is written as the code spells it.
GitLab refused the hundred raw reads per IP. A GitLab directory is now
read from one archive request, else a shallow sparse git fetch, and the
cache keeps its file list so offline runs know what is absent.
Each board builds system.ini against its defconfig: a core whose package
the board does not enable is dropped (pisnes was the SNES default
everywhere), and a system with no core is not built. The row names the
default most boards share, board_defaults the others. A files: list
names whole files and is carried as files through the index and the
installer.
A folder no name resolves, run by a core of several machines, now holds
those machines: thomson, multivision and pcv2 had no fallback, so their
games got no file. Arcade-indexed cores keep naming files per set.
Same files per platform. The manifests catch up with the per-system MAME
filing, the platform system join and declared_in, and name sfiii2a.zip as
missing. The games index fallback sets and the installer page samples
follow.
