Six platforms are read from a branch: System.dat, batocera-systems.json, checkBIOS.sh, the MiSTer BiosDB, the RetroPie scriptmodules and the RetroDECK component manifests. Their YAML named the branch, so the native export patched whatever the branch had become since the scrape. Each scraper now resolves the branch head once, reads every file at that commit and writes it into source. The export follows a recorded tarball and a recorded tree as it already followed a raw file URL.
Six of the eight shared groups injected nothing: three were
included by no platform, three repeated System.dat entry for entry,
so a correction made in them reached no pack. They are removed with
their scraper wiring, and a test requires every remaining group to
contribute an entry somewhere.
resolve_platform_cores() links platforms to their cores via
three strategies: all_libretro, explicit list, system ID
fallback. Pack generation always includes core requirements
beyond platform baseline. Case-insensitive dedup prevents
conflicts on Windows/macOS. Data dir strip_components fixes
doubled paths for Dolphin and PPSSPP caches.
dolphin: gc-ntsc-12.bin mapped to dolphin-emu/Sys/GC/<region>/IPL.bin
ref: DolphinLibretro/Boot.cpp:72-73, CommonPaths.h:139
scraper EXTRA_SYSTEM_FILES dedup now by (name, destination) to allow
same source file at multiple destinations.
retroarch pack: 448 files, 0 missing.
ep128emu: corrected to ep128emu/roms/ per core.cpp:56,59.
fuse: verified in src/compat/paths.c — core searches flat, not fuse/.
docs are wrong on fuse/ prefix. removed from retroarch shared groups.
all refs updated to exact source lines.
added quasi88 alt names, vircon32, MacII.ROM casing.
retroarch.yml regenerated by libretro_scraper with CORE_SUBDIR_MAP
(dc/, np2kai/, keropi/) and shared groups (fuse, kronos, ep128emu,
quasi88, np2kai, keropi). common.py dedup by (name, destination)
to allow same file at flat + subdirectory paths.
ep128emu shared group added for Enterprise system.
RetroArch pack grows from 398 to 428 files.
ref: each subdirectory traced to original emulator source code —
see platforms/README.md and _shared.yml comments.
Same guard as verify.py: when zipped_file is set, the md5 is for the
inner ROM, not the container ZIP. Direct MD5 lookup resolved to the
standalone ROM file instead of the ZIP parent.
Fixes: ep64.zip/ep128.zip (Enterprise) written as raw ROM data instead
of ZIP archives in Batocera pack. Also fixes any other zipped_file entry
where the inner ROM MD5 matched a standalone file in the database.
Also: update Dinothawr.zip SHA1 in retroarch.yml to match actual file.
