Each platform's own packages were read at the revision our data pins, for every emulator and core it ships: Batocera, Recalbox, RetroPie, ROCKNIX, Lakka, RetroDECK, RetroBat and EmuDeck. Files a package installs where the emulator reads them are recorded with installed_on, and files a release bundles but a package leaves out with not_bundled_on, so each platform's pack brings what its users lack and nothing they already have. The standalone profiles never checked before were held against their releases the same way. Batocera's imame4all is the mame2000 core. The primary neogeo.zip was a 7.7 KB placeholder no platform pins and no pack served: removed, the real dumps stay in .variants.
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.
jaxe pointed at a libretro core-info file, lindbergh-loader at a
Batocera generator, oricutron at the ES-DE user guide. None is in the
tree each names.
Four files, each with a verifiable origin.
logo.tga and logo_red.tga come from the loader's own resources/logo.h:
hook.c's fread maps FILE_LOGO_TGA to logoLL or logoLLRed depending on
which path was opened, one array per file, so the extraction is exact.
Both decode as valid RLE TGA at their declared lengths.
lgp.zip and timetrav.zip carry crc 0 in Hypseus and in Daphne upstream,
so MAME vouches for them instead. lgp maps onto MAME's set by base name,
confirmed by the five members whose bytes already agreed, and the four
that were missing came from the same set. timetrav is MAME's timetrv:
tt061891.bin, 262144 bytes, crc a3d44219.
The four Sega fonts stay open, and the profile now says why: the loader
embeds one 128x256 atlas and one metrics table answering all four paths,
so it substitutes for the originals rather than reproducing either.
Sixty-nine of the seventy-one sets Hypseus Singe loads, assembled from
atoms retrieved from public archives and rebuilt with torrentzip under
the member names its source expects.
Every set is anchored: the profile already carried each member with its
CRC32, read from Hypseus' own source, so a candidate is either an exact
match or discarded. Sixty-seven verified that way. For gpworld and
firefoxa, Hypseus declares crc 0 and gives no anchor, so MAME's recipe
for the same game vouched for the bytes instead: 17/17 and 6/6.
lgp and timetrav stay out. Hypseus declares crc 0 for both, MAME covers
only 5 of lgp's 9 members and has no timetrav at all, so nothing can
vouch for them and half-verified is not verified.
The six Lindbergh font and logo files gain has_builtin: true. hook.c
serves them from resources/logo.h and resources/font.h unless built-ins
are disabled, so they are not a gap the collection can close.
