AdvanceMAME reads its sets from dir_rom, a list of folders
(advance/osd/fileio.c:74, doc/advmame.d:680,699-701). EmuELEC's
advmame.rc sets dir_rom /storage/roms/mame (advmame.rc:11), and
advmame.sh rewrites /roms/mame to /roms/arcade when it is started for
the arcade system (advmame.sh:26-30). The extractor kept the keys under
the BIOS root alone: it now records those under the roms root too, and
a key the script rewrites gives one record for arcade and one for every
other system. A configgen record carries the systems it is written for.
The profile lays its 29 sets out at the top of dir_rom. On EmuELEC they
land in roms/mame. The 12 root archives AdvanceMAME alone claimed there
now hold the copies of the cores that also declare them (mame, geolith),
none of them lost.
A destination outside the BIOS tree is no proof of content: the moved
entry resolves by its layout path alone. roms/mame/konamigv.zip took
bios/Arcade/MAME/konamigv.zip, MAME 0.289's set, by that tail.
RetroBat passes XRoar -rompath bios/coco for the coco system, and its
es_features offers the CoCo 3 machines there. The per-system record now
carries those machines (machines:), and an entry whose name the
platform list does not declare is launched for the system offering
its own profile system as a machine, by _norm_system_id. coco3.rom and
coco3p.rom move from bios/dragon to bios/coco. RetroBat offers no
MC-10 machine, so the mc10 ROMs keep the default bios/dragon.
Recalbox starts its emulators from a Python configgen too. The parsed source, the record and the ast helpers move to configgen_launchers so both readers use them. Batocera's extractors are unchanged.
