ROCKNIX's start_pico8.sh runs pico8_64 or pico8_dyn from
/storage/roms/pico-8 and RetroBat's Pico8 generator runs pico8.exe from
its pico8 emulator folder. Both are recorded as exec records, read from
the scripts at the revisions the platform files pin.
A copies record names its files under search_dir, the folder the code
copies from, and passes_to is the target, as the schema and RetroPie,
RetroDECK and AmberELEC already write it. KNULLI listed patches.zip
under the BIOS folder it is copied into, and KNULLI and RetroBat wrote
the target as prose with the condition. The condition of a copy now
goes in depends_on_option. Only launcher records change in knulli.yml
and retrobat.yml.
ArcadeDuck searches the folder above a CHD-only set, GSplus writes the
first of four ROM names it finds, Hatari falls back on EmuTOS, hatariB
copies a TOS from bios/hatari/tos, and #region lines precede method
headers. ROCKNIX renamed start_hatari.sh and dropped aethersx2-sa.
The launcher layer now reads the Saturn emulators whose option replaces
the default path, DeSmuME's pair and firmware, the melonDS DSi files and
NAND region, jzIntv arguments, BlastEm's SetBiosPath, Dolphin, Raine,
GSplus, the DOSBox and capsimg copies, Tsugaru's folder chain, RPCS3,
EKA2L1, BizHawk's GB switches and the folders that MAME, FBNeo, Snes9x,
Flycast, ScummVM, XRoar, XM6 Pro, ArcadeDuck, Demul and B-Syndrome get.
Every line of these generators that names the bios folder must be read
by a record or a stated exception, or the scrape stops.
emulatorLauncher writes a BIOS path into an emulator's configuration
only when the file exists: string x = Path.Combine(bios, "name");
if (File.Exists(x)) ini.WriteValue(section, key, x). The extractor now
records each such write as a fixed_name launcher record, with the
enclosing if and early-return conditions, and a key that receives the
bios folder itself as passes_path. A path reassigned before the check,
or a write under a loop or an else, is not read.
Generators read at 48cdc616: KegaFusion (SCD and 32X keys, GenesisBIOS
given the folder), Jgenesis, MelonDS (DS), Mupen64, Project64, mGBA.
The RetroBat paragraph of the Kega Fusion profile now lives in the
launcher layer.
The scraper reads emulatorLauncher's generators and es_features.cfg at the commit the BIOS list is pinned to: Ares, Hatari, Mesen, Amiberry, WinUAE, PCSX2, the PSX BIOS cascades, Xemu, openMSX and DuckStation. Each extractor raises when its construct is gone.
