install.py took --list-platforms, generate_pack.py --list and verify.py
nothing. Both tools now take --list-platforms and print the same list
from common.py. generate_pack.py keeps --list (finding 80).
A file was matched by its container sha1 or md5 alone. A zipped_file
member, a Recalbox member digest, a RetroDECK sha256 and a RomM size and
crc32 are now read the way verify reads them, and an identical copy's
folder is where its variants go.
CLK reads every export cartridge as Europe or USA and boots the western
BIOS for any region but Japan (StaticAnalyser.cpp:49-66,
MasterSystem.cpp:137-140). The tag named brazil without its parent, so
--region mx dropped the BIOS from the Batocera pack.
higan and nSide look program.rom up in the option's folder, SGB.sfc/,
then Super GameBoy.sfc/. Only the SGB1.sfc/ and SGB2.sfc/ folders were
entries, and both names are files bsnes, Mesen-S and ares read from the
same system directory, so no pack could give the higan cores a Super
Game Boy. SGB.sfc/ collides with SuperSnes9x's sgb.sfc on a
case-insensitive file system. Super GameBoy.sfc/ collides with nothing.
diff_truth read sha1, md5 and crc32 and let one shared value settle the
entry, while export_native corrected each of the four fields on its own.
contradicted_hashes is now the single decision both read.
--all --system built every pack asked for and exited 1 on a platform
that has no such system. The scope is now decided before the lock:
skipped under --all, refused under --platform (finding 15).
x1-box and hakuX both import the retail partition C tree. It sat in
hakuX's tree, so for x1-box the C/xbox.xtf tail was set aside as foreign
and the name step served Xenia's Xbox 360 dashboard font. xbox.xtf and
xboxdash.xbe now live in bios/Microsoft/Xbox/C/ and resolve by path for
both. msdash.xbe stays: its bytes are cxbx-reloaded's xboxdash.xbe, whose
path the RetroBat manifest names.
A system the target leaves no core for was verified 0/0 with exit 0,
and generate_pack blamed the platform for lacking it. Both read
platform_scope_systems and system_scope_error now (findings 13, 14).
A one-member archive whose member carries the zipped_file md5 under
another name has that md5 as its composite. The name step returned it as
md5_composite_exact, which slots and the site take as content proof, while
Batocera looks the member up by name and finds nothing.
A platform declaration that names only an md5 left the size check
undecided, and an undecided same-named match overrode a profile's
system:. The size the database holds for that md5 now refutes it: clk's
Oric basic10.rom no longer joins Batocera's BK list.
Only the first BIOS clause of a help string was read, so naomi2.zip and
segasp.zip went into flycast's Dreamcast sentence. A file now joins the
clause whose names the platform files under its system, or is not added.
reminiscence's Flashback module reunion resolved to skyline's
zoneinfo/Indian/Reunion through the case-insensitive name step, and the
emulator pack shipped the time-zone file. Another casing found only in
another emulator's tree says nothing about the entry.
A BiosDB entry is one record: md5, size and url describe one dump. The
first md5 the truth accepts replaced an accepted one with no change
reported. The exporter now writes record_hash, as RomM and System.dat do.
The first core to tag a file set its region. The pack's region index takes
the union of the tags and voids it on an untagged reader: the truth now
applies the same rule (psxonpsp660.bin, epr-17952a.ic8).
GitLab refused the hundred raw reads per IP. A GitLab directory is now
read from one archive request, else a shallow sparse git fetch, and the
cache keeps its file list so offline runs know what is absent.
Each board builds system.ini against its defconfig: a core whose package
the board does not enable is dropped (pisnes was the SNES default
everywhere), and a system with no core is not built. The row names the
default most boards share, board_defaults the others. A files: list
names whole files and is carried as files through the index and the
installer.
A folder no name resolves, run by a core of several machines, now holds
those machines: thomson, multivision and pcv2 had no fallback, so their
games got no file. Arcade-indexed cores keep naming files per set.
board_cores walked only the plain [core.N] sections and replaced a board
section whole. romfs2 systemholder.py reads a slot present as
[core.N.<board>] alone (gb and gbc bsnes on x86_64) and each key from the
board section, then <key>.<board>, then the plain key. The committed
target lists are unchanged on all seven boards.
