Walking the systems sorted reordered the declarations doubled.py
reports from, so the export report named the CoCo reader first. The
declarations keep the platform's order again, and the packed file is
picked from the sorted walk the builder makes.
A search for gba_bios.bin or scph5500.bin landed on a page described as
"It reads 4 files, none of them required". The snippet now names the
console and the files, required first, in the longest form that fits.
Every change to install.py meant a sha256sum pasted by hand into
install.sh and install.ps1, and the tests that caught a stale pin
failed on two bare hashes. scripts/pin_installer.py writes both pins
(--check only reports), the pin tests name it, check_freshness reads
the pins through it and refresh_stale runs it for a stale pin row.
A tarball tree was announced at its extracted size: yaps2 at 6.5 MB for a 21.2 MB download, Cemu's game profiles at 9.9 KB for 21.4 MB. refresh_data_dirs records the size of each archive it downloads (a tree current from before is measured, not refetched), the install lists carry it as archive_size, and the plan, the menu and the data event count it.
A card's BIOS folder zipped to upload it was hashed as one file and
reported not recognised, its contributor asked where the dump came from
and told to place it under bios/. A ZIP no list or profile declares as a
whole is now read member by member: each is named held, declared and not
held, or not recognised, and the contributor is asked for the files
unzipped. A declared archive (a MAME or FBNeo set) is never opened.
render padded the local value but not the remote one, so in an area
where some rows carry a remote value their detail started fifteen
columns later than the rows without one. The remote value is padded to
its column, and a row without one leaves the same blank span.
check_freshness gained a romfolders area and refresh_stale did not:
its rows were dropped from a saved report without a word, and --only
romfolders was refused. A rom-folder pin is moved by hand, so the area
is listed for a human, a test holds the two area lists equal, and the
--only help names every area.
--dry-run printed its text plan and returned before --json was read,
so a caller parsing the output as JSON failed. With both flags the plan
is printed as JSON: planned jobs with their commands and follow-ups,
the rows left to a human, and the count ignored.
A collision line named two files and neither the system declaring each
nor the one the pack ships, so the reader went back to the platform
file. find_collisions walks the systems in the builder's sorted order,
takes the builder's preferred declaration, and the line and the JSON
now name each system and the file packed. RetroDECK's bios/disk.rom
reads as the CoCo ROM packed, the PC-88 one left out, as its manifest
holds.
The JSON report put "outcome": "new" on every file without another
outcome, so a path that does not exist, or a file that failed a check,
was listed as a new contribution. A failed file now reads "failed".
artifact_lock created its directory even for a shared reader, so a
mistyped path given to --verify-packs or release_record was left as a
directory holding a .lock, and split_pack created the parent before
printing a bare errno. A reader now raises ArtifactDirectoryMissing,
which run_cli prints on one line, and split_pack checks its target
before taking the lock.
A refresh blocked on a data directory lock printed only that another
run held it, then waited with no limit. The line now names the lock
file and the lsof command that shows its holder, and for a refresh,
the generate_pack --no-refresh-data and --offline runs that read the
cache without waiting.
Without jsonschema the documented command stopped on an ImportError
traceback. Run as a command it now prints the install pipeline.py names
for the same step, with the format-nongpl extra, and exits 1. An import
from the tests still raises ImportError, which they skip on.
The --destinations branch of _main rebound held, the ExitStack that
holds the data directory locks, to the dict it writes. It is now
named destinations, and a test refuses a rebinding of the stack.
--platform bizhawk --target switch printed skipped, then Done., and
exited 0 with no model written. generate_truth now resolves targets
through build_target_cores_cache, as verify and generate_pack do: a
named platform without the target is refused with exit 1, --all
leaves such platforms out and says so.
_load_sources read a truncated .sources.json as empty: fetch served
the cached original of an older pin as current, the next download
rewrote the index with one entry, and check_freshness said no URL was
recorded. It now raises SourcesIndexUnreadable naming the remedy, and
check_freshness reports one ERROR row for the index.
modified_for_git read the stdout of git status without its exit code:
a corrupt index printed nothing, the working change read as unmodified,
and --apply wrote HEAD's blob over it. Every git call now raises on a
non-zero status, and the command exits 2 naming the git error.
game_dat_importer and arcade_parent_importer each kept an exact-text
copy of write_if_changed, so a redump refresh rewrote every catalog for
its fetched date alone. Both now use artifacts.write_if_changed, which
treats fetched as a timestamp. A No-Intro rebuild still rewrites its
catalogs, since asset_updated_at moves with it, so check_freshness keeps
reading a fetched date no older than the pack.
The target scraper kept its own copy of the EmuScripts table and took
.ps1 files the platform scraper never read, so emudeck-we's template
skeleton was published as a core and removed afterwards by an override.
Both scrapers now read emulator_of_script, and the platform scraper
lists the installers at the pinned revision, as launchers: and the
SteamOS target already did. Targets rescraped, override dropped.
Setup names on 530 emulator pages lowered their weight in the index and
ranked the data page first for batocera folder and retroarch system
folder. The row is left out of the search, as the card's setup lists are.
A Packed line on each file card put the MAME parts, BizHawk, blueMSX,
FBNeo and GroovyMAME over the 10,000 element budget. The Run by row of
the page already names the setups that pack the emulator's files.
files/?sha1= of a file the collection no longer holds answered that no
file the site knows has the hash. generate_db.py now records each sha1 a
rebuild drops in retired.json, with the day and the file in its place,
backfilled from the history since 0d586ef6b (4,139 files). The lookup
answers with it and leads to the successor's card.
The lookup held a member only where a profile's contents: declares it,
so 26,014 of the 33,403 members of collection archives answered nothing.
Each member's CRC32 is now an archive-member record leading to its
archive's card, read from the central directory, and files/ names the
archive holding it.
install.py tells a MiSTer card by its MiSTer binary and menu.rbf since
73b82375d. installer.md said so, the FAQ and the README did not, and sent a
MiSTer user to --dest the card's root, where nothing reads the files.
The default setup named RetroArch in page code, which a test forbids. It
is now the setup whose guide runs under the most of the box's OS tabs,
then on the most systems, then one with a release ZIP.
The target scraper stripped -sa from every standalone package while the platform scraper keeps both spellings. vice-standalone, scummvm-standalone and supermodel3 answer to vice-sa, scummvm-sa and supermodel-sa only, so every targeted ROCKNIX build left them out. Both now read standalone_emulators(), and the targets are rescraped at tag 20261001.
The platform scraper kept lr-dosbox-pure as dosbox-pure, which matched the standalone DOSBox Pure Unleashed profile, while the target scraper wrote dosbox_pure. Both now read core_name(), and platforms/retropie.yml is rescraped at its pinned revision 46128cd2: only the libretro core names change, and six Unleashed files leave the RetroPie manifest.
The box showed the first setup by name, AmberELEC on 17 system pages,
under Windows tabs. It now selects RetroArch, which runs on every system
the box has a tab for, else a setup the release publishes a ZIP for.
When the truth accepts the BiosDB hash but none of its sizes fits, the MiSTer render keeps the entry's size beside the hash, and the report still counted a size removed. A size the truth does not state is no longer reported as changed.
Batocera and KNULLI check a zippedFile item's md5 against the member inside the archive. A profile's container md5 for the archive would have replaced it as a correction. The item's md5 is now read as Recalbox's composite md5 is: neither compared with the container's nor overwritten by it.
fetch checked archives only, so a System.dat served as an HTML page with 200, or a 0-byte cache, reached render() as a file with no entries. System.dat, es_bios.xml, RetroBat and RomM then rebuilt the platform's file from our data and reported OK. Such an original is now refused, before it is cached and when read from the cache, and a format that needs its original fails when none was read.
Lakka keeps /storage on the card's ext4 partition (Lakka-LibreELEC
4696b48f scripts/mkimage:72, 95), which Windows and macOS do not open, and
its page offered them a card route. card_run is now [linux], and a page
with no Windows route says only Linux opens the card.
A platform system spanning several native ids with no native_id filed every addition under the id that sorts first: RetroDECK's arcade wrote MAME device archives as FBNeo BIOS, RetroBat's Amiga put A500 kickstarts under amiga1200. An addition now joins the id whose declared files its cores read, and one the cores do not settle is counted and not written.
profile_needs decided held-ness from each record's own name. np2pi's KANJI2.ROM, held as the PC-88 n88knj2.rom, was listed missing and paired with a Fujitsu dump. It now reads by_name as verify does, and an unsourceable entry is not held by a homonym, which lists xm7's KANJI.ROM.
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.
