Demul 0.7 reads 44 NAOMI BIOS rows from naomi.zip, the HOTD2, F355 and Airline Pilots BIOS among them. No copy held them all. The set is built with build_torrentzip from members already in the collection, each checked against the crc32 and sha1 of demul.exe's table, and kept in bios/Other/demul/. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat place it at bios/naomi.zip, the file MAME cores there also open, so it carries the nine MAME members the Demul table does not list.
The resolver left another emulator's own copy out of the member and superset ranking, so Flycast and the MAME cores keep the copies they were served.
segadimm.zip holds fpr23905.ic36 and fpr23905c.ic36 under the same crc32, and segasp.zip four fpr-*.ic72 images. Ranked by crc32 alone, a copy missing some of them tied with the full set and the index order chose it. A crc32 that two declared members share now also requires the member name.
The layout check skipped any archive it found no copy of, and it looked
copies up by name only, so 23 MAME device sets held through the clone map
were never checked and pro1000.zip was never reported absent.
_holding_members kept every same-named copy when the best held nothing,
so galgames.zip, a lone assembler listing, resolved by name for mame,
groovymame and mame4droid-2024, and awbios.zip for mame4droid. Such a
copy now resolves as hash_mismatch.
mame2003_plus declared its contents by name only, while fileio.c:1031-1040
loads a member by CRC when the name is absent. The 61 members now carry
the CRC their driver declares, so stvbios, megatech and the six ZN sets
keep matching the archives the collection holds.
archive_members scanned the whole file list on every call, and callers ask once per entry of the same profile: 38 million entries walked in one verify --all over mame.yml. Lists of 64 entries or more are now indexed by archive once (held so the id is not reused, indexed again when the length changes), members still read from the entries at each call. archive_members drops from 2.30 s to 0.14 s tottime under the profiler. verify --all (text and --json), slots --json and the retroarch manifest are byte-identical.
gngeopi and neo-emu declare neogeo.zip loose and, apart, the ROMs they
open inside it. The archive pass took the copy holding them, the loose
entry resolved by name to another copy, and both verify --emulator and
the emulator pack reported the archive missing while the ZIP held it.
with_archive_members() gives the loose entry the members in verify, the
pack, slots and the gap report.
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.
The name step only ranked archive copies by members declared
through archive sub-entries, and the contents an archive entry lists
never reached the resolver, so the first copy indexed won. contents
now ranks copies by crc32, or by member name where the code opens
by name, and the report and both extra passes carry it. With no
layout declared, a primary holding every ROM of the others wins;
two revisions keep the index order.
