Ten core_probe runs of the beetle-saturn fix-mpeg-auth-cr2 branch, one
per commit: the Lunar opening movie (2400 frames) and the Big Buck Bunny
Video CD booting through the card's player. Issue 85.
First real pass of campaign.py: the libretro PlayStation profiles with an hle_fallback claim (beetle_psx through mednafen_psx and mednafen_psx_hw, pcsx_rearmed and swanstation nightlies, pcsx1 built from its pinned commit), each run on Bust-A-Move 2 - Arcade Edition (USA) with and without scph5501.bin, under bubblewrap. Every core reached the game without the BIOS.
With COMMAND_AUTH_DEVICE and COMMAND_GET_AUTH reading CR2, beetle_saturn 2ce77e2 authenticates the Video CD Card on Lunar - Silver Star Story MPEG: MPEG.AuthState is 02 with the HSS-0119 and the MK-80310 images, 00 with no file. The full machine state differs between two identical repetitions, the authentication state does not.
Each line of measurements/<emulator>.jsonl now holds the whole run:
every repetition, core logs, per-frame hashes and raw timings. The gzip
data files, the data schema and the split and join code are gone, and
core_probe --record appends one line. record_version moves to 3.
The seven records are rewritten once: each new line equals its old line
joined with its data file, and rebuilds the first-layout file its id
hashes.
The seven core probe records move from Abdess/retrobios-measurements at
75e878143687 into this repository, copied byte for byte: one .jsonl per
emulator and a gzip data file per record. merge=union lets two branches
that each add a line merge.
A record is now one line of records/<emulator>.jsonl in the measurements repository, under 20 KB, and a gzip sidecar holding every repetition, the core logs and the raw timings, its sha256 in the line. record_version 2, core-probe-data.schema.json for the sidecar. core_probe --record appends to a measurements clone and refuses a directory inside this repository's tracked tree.
The seven records of issue 85 moved to Abdess/retrobios-measurements: each line plus its sidecar rebuilds the first file, and keeps its first id.
Seven core_probe check records for issue 85: Beetle Saturn and Yabause on a Video CD and on Lunar - Silver Star Story MPEG, each run with the eight mpeg_card.bin images, no file, zeros and a 1-byte file.
