A platform that binds part of a standalone layout leaves the entries no
binding covers in a folder outside the BIOS tree: they are no longer
packed at the BIOS root, and the manifest names them (root: emulator,
outside_bios_folder). A launcher that executes a profile's file binds
the program folder: in the BIOS tree, below the roms directory a registry
entry names (root: roms, installed into the folder holding the BIOS
folder), or nowhere a pack reaches. A moved entry resolves by its own
path as well as by its destination.
uae4all gains kick.rom and rom.key in its working directory and loses a
not_bundled_on that named Recalbox, which runs uae4all-rpi. lexaloffle
declares that its programs read beside their executable, lists the
Windows build RetroBat runs and the pico8_dyn ROCKNIX runs on x86_64.
standalone_bindings maps each subfolder of a standalone layout to the
folder of the BIOS tree a platform's links and passed directories give
it, followed through a working directory. platform_layouts applies it,
so the pack, the manifest, verify and slots read one destination.
uae4all paths are now what the emulator reads, kickstarts/<name> below
its working directory, and RetroPie still receives them in amiga/.
