Batocera and KNULLI start shadPS4 from CONFIGS/shadps4, so its user
folder sits below /userdata/system/configs. The scrapers read that root
from batoceraPaths and write configs_root with its source_ref. The
manifest names it configs_directory, and install.py honours it through
the same checks as roms_directory: character rules, at most two ups,
the ancestor match and the lexical bound.
KNULLI's configgen-defaults.yml picks suyu for the Switch, which its
es_systems.yml does not offer and no package of its tree, its batocera
submodule or its buildroot builds: KNULLI does not ship suyu. A default
es_systems.yml does not offer now counts only when a package of the
build's trees has that name, or when its launcher runs a program from
the BIOS folder (Batocera's lexaloffle). Batocera's lists are unchanged
by the rule. suyu leaves KNULLI's cores, and the XDG_DATA_HOME record
that served it goes.
Batocera's 002-adjust-paths.patch rewrites Citron's KeysDir to
/userdata/bios/switch: patched_paths reads it from the patch, and KNULLI
from its batocera submodule at the pinned commit. Batocera and KNULLI
start shadPS4 from /userdata/system/configs/shadps4 (os.chdir), KNULLI
sets suyu's XDG_DATA_HOME to /userdata/saves/switch, and RetroBat creates
the portable user folder beside citron.exe and shadPS4.exe. Each platform
file differs from its scraper's full output by these records only.
A profile names a folder a handle rewrites as "<handle> = <subfolder>",
and a record setting a variable or a working directory a declared folder
is spelled from binds the whole layout below it.
knulli_launchers reads KNULLI's configgen and the PICO-8 installer at
the tag the scraper pins: Batocera's extractors where the generator is
still Batocera's code, KNULLI's own for lexaloffle, libretroOptions and
knulli-install-pico8, and one AST reader for the BIOS paths the other
generators pass on a command line, in a config key or the environment,
copy or test for. 52 records.
EmuELEC's ports system has one emulator, `ports`, the dispatch to a
script ports.yaml generates. The scraper now reads each port's engine
(the libretro core handed to emuelecRunEmu.sh with -C, else port_exe),
so devilutionx, sonic2013, soniccd, sonic-mania, reminiscence and
rigelengine are examined. Standalone emulators keep the spelling the
launch code dispatches on instead of invented lowercase forms, and
media players and runtimes go to the overrides' remove_cores.
Each system of the AmberELEC, EmuELEC and KNULLI lists now carries the
cores its ES list offers it, in menu order, under `cores:`.
Each OS publishes Batocera's systems dict (knulli-systems, and
batocera-systems at AmberELEC's newest prerelease commit and EmuELEC v4.8),
read with the shared parser. Cores come from each OS's own ES list.
AmberELEC and EmuELEC declare neogeo/ and ports/ beside bios/ from
/storage/roms, so their packs extract there and core_destination puts
core files under bios/.
