Each standalone profile records where its version is read: the source
at its pin (clk 2026-07-23-136-g9020107, shadps4 0.20.1 WIP, eden
v0.2.0-401-g26a03d2), the APK, binary or archive read (kind package),
or, where no reading can be made, kind unverified with the reason: a
host the tools cannot read, a forge gone or not answering, no build
recorded as read, a pin on another branch. Those keep their value,
unconfirmed.
Upstream now reads a Virtual ][ Contents/Resources folder as it is:
each take is also tried under its bare name and a .wav slot as the
headerless .raw (VirtualIISoundCatalog.h:47-66), macOS searches the
app bundle in /Applications and ~/Applications, a truncated AIFF is
rejected and AudioToolbox decodes .aiff on macOS
(VirtualIISoundLoader.h). Same nine takes, same paths.
One run of profile_sync --all --rebase-refs --fresh. Every guard held:
no ref to review, no prose left under an older pin, no file name or hash
literal gained in a cited file since the pin, no built_by pin and no pin
keyed by build mode. The site's record of cited source paths is rebuilt
with them.
Same chain as the first pass: no ref to review, no file name or hash
literal added to a cited file since the pin, no profile a single
platform builds at a fixed commit, refs recaled with their pins, and the
written prose read again.
Adds the Memory Expansion Card ROM, the //c keyboard photo and the Monitor II and drive artwork, updates the //e keyboard photo, and follows the Virtual ][ list into VirtualIISoundCatalog.h with the Import sounds folder.
Every bundled flag was checked against the release or the build recipe of the build that reads the file. A libretro core zip holds the core alone: fMSX, Nuance, ep128emu and PCEE2 files the source tree carries are no longer bundled, and blueMSX, ARMSX2, YAPS2, Cemu and Jazz2 entries are split per build. Files the release ships and the profile missed are now bundled (POM2, ZQuest Classic, EmuCoreX, Linux Loader). Platform packages that differ are named: Batocera installs hcl and Hurrican without their data, ROCKNIX ships touchHLE's Liberation Sans fonts only, Batocera and RetroPie install blueMSX's machines beside the core.
POM2 reads nine Virtual ][ sounds from roms/virtual_ii_sons/. All nine are inside VirtualII.dmg from virtualii.com (13.3). The five AIFF files are taken as they are. The four .raw files are signed 16-bit little-endian mono at 44100 Hz, as Virtual ]['s own playback code declares them, and are wrapped in a WAV header, the data chunk being the raw file byte for byte. pom2 verifies 78/78.
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
