The lone-dash check read MAME's -rompath and -samplepath, QUASI88's
-romdir and RetroBat's -hash and -sp as half a dash glued to a word.
Quoted as code they read as flags. A C loop quoted in romdir.py and a
docstring in test_agnostic_scope no longer read as clause semicolons.
The rom folders files kept the default core of each folder only, so a
core the user picks in the frontend's menu was not known to read its
sets there. Each folder now lists its offers: every <core> of every
<emulator> in AmberELEC's es_systems.cfg (arcade:
packages/ui/emulationstation/config/es_systems.cfg:116-150), every core
of EmuELEC's es_systems.json, every add_emu_core of ROCKNIX's emulators
package.mk with the device case it is written under (arcade: 218-229),
and the emulator of every ES-DE <command>. A core written under every
branch of a case is offered unconditionally. The ES-XML, ES-JSON,
ELEC-conf and ES-DE setups are rescraped at their pins: archr, arkos,
chaos, darkos, jelos, kolos, pan4elec, retrobat and unofficialos gain
the same records and nothing else.
A libretro core offered for a folder reads the sets it loads beside the
game there, as the default one does.
Manifests, roms folders gaining sets read beside the game:
- AmberELEC: +215 (293.1 MB) in fbneo, arcade and mame, for MAME 2010,
2015, 2016 and 2003-Plus. 1 omission leaves.
- EmuELEC: +291 (232.0 MB) in cps1, cps2, cps3, mame, fbneo and
arcade, for MAME 2010 and 2003-Plus. 47 omissions leave.
- ROCKNIX: +501 (538.7 MB) in fbneo, neogeo, cps1, cps2, cps3, arcade
and mame, for MAME 2010, 2015 and 2003-Plus. 120 omissions leave.
- EmuDeck: +306 (251.2 MB) in cps, cps1, cps2, cps3, arcade and mame,
for MAME 2000, 2003, 2003-Plus and 2010. 92 omissions leave.
Each omission that leaves was a set named as read outside the BIOS
folder. RetroDECK and the other platforms do not change. No file
leaves, and verify --all keeps its severity and status counts.
ES-DE starts the libretro MAME core with a command line as its content
in 22 commands across 21 systems ("apple2e -rompath \"%GAMEDIRRAW%;
%ROMPATH%/apple2\" -flop1 ...", resources/systems/linux/es_systems.xml
at RetroDECK's 15e1b236 and EmuDeck's ES-DE v3.5.0), run through the
shell by popen (es-core/src/utils/PlatformUtil.cpp:231, 257).
At 5f5a0774 the core reads content that is no file as a command line
(retro_init.cpp:966-1008). Set_Path_Option passes its own -rompath
<content dir>;<system>/mame/bios;<system>/mame/roms (580-597), then
every word of the command line follows, -rompath included, only -rp
being dropped when mame_paths_enable is off (902-940, 914-919). MAME
keeps the later value of an option given twice at one priority
(src/lib/util/options.cpp:260-276, clifront.cpp:243). Those commands
read their sets in the folders they name, and mame/bios stays read by
every command that passes none.
The ES-DE parser records these commands in searched_by with their core,
the mame profile declares libretro_pools (-rompath and -rp stand for
mame/bios), and a set there also goes to each folder a command names
for a machine that reads it.
Manifests: EmuDeck gains 16 files below roms/ (apple2, apple2gs,
astrocde, crvision, gamate, gamecom, gmaster, intellivision, odyssey2,
scv, supracan, vectrex, videopac, vsmile). RetroDECK does not change:
its standalone MAME commands already put the same sets at the same
paths. No file leaves.
duckstation.sh quotes its glob, so its copy names a file called * and
installs nothing. userconfig-setup copies /usr/config into
/storage/.config at every boot, an existing file kept (false | cp -i),
and /emuelec links there: that copy installs settings.ini and
advmame.rc. A quoted glob is no install, and a redirection ends the
copy's operands. Rescraped at v4.8: only these installs change.
The scraper read emulatorLauncher master on every run, so an extractor
change was diffed together with upstream's commits since the pin. It now
rereads the commit platforms/retrobat.yml pins. --revision master moves
it, and check_freshness and refresh_stale pass that through the
registry's rescrape_args.
The extractors also read master (f681f435): Kronos and YabaSanshiro
fall back to sega_101.bin then mpr-17933.bin when the chosen BIOS is
absent, Ymir writes a forced BIOS only under its override flag, and a
folder created below bios (Ymir's cdb) is a passes_path record. At the
pin the 187 records are unchanged.
ES-DE starts standalone MAME with -rompath %GAMEDIR%\;%ROMPATH%/<system>
in 78 live commands across 54 systems (resources/systems/linux/
es_systems.xml at retrodeck-main-20261103-162710, 15e1b236; two more
are commented out). The command line outranks mame.ini, so RetroDECK's
MAME reads its sets in the roms folder each command names and in no
BIOS folder. The ES-DE rom folders parser now records, per folder, the
folders a standalone command passes as its ROM search path and the
machines it starts, or that the game is the machine (%BASENAME%).
Rescraped at the pinned revisions: retrodeck, emudeck and
emudeck-windows gain these records and nothing else.
A command reads the sets its machines load: the machine's own set, the
BIOS sets on its romof chain and the device sets with ROMs it
instantiates, from games/arcade/mame.json (mame0289 -listxml). That
index now also lists the game and device sets of each driver source
file, so a %BASENAME% folder reads for its board: neogeo and stv by
their BIOS root, cps1-3 and model2 by source file, daphne and laserdisc
by the laserdisc player devices, gameandwatch and lcdgames by the
handheld sources, any other (arcade, mame, consolearcade) for every
machine. The published installer copy of the index leaves the sources
out.
Manifests: RetroDECK gains 1399 files, 378.2 MB, below roms/. Of the 219
sets named as read outside the BIOS folder, 58 reach 146 files (25.9 MB),
161 stay named, no command's machine reading them. 441 sets RetroDECK's
list also declares at bios/ reach 1253 files (352.3 MB), 429 each in
arcade and mame and 480 in consolearcade. No other platform changes.
RetroBat's es_features.cfg and KNULLI's es_features.yml list the values
a menu offers. They move out of source_ref into choices_from, beside the
generator that writes the choice. RetroBat's xemu flashrom record holds
outside a Chihiro launch (Xemu.Generator.cs:48, 284), and KNULLI's
libretro boot disk records name the one core es_features offers them
for. Rescraped at the pinned revisions.
ROCKNIX, EmuELEC, AmberELEC, EmuDeck and RetroDECK records citing a
config now carry the code installing it, whether that keeps a file
already there, and the launch code rewriting its keys. Rescraped at the
pinned revisions.
Records the shipped code never reads are no longer written: EmuELEC's
mame.ini folders (MAME.opt turns paths off), AmberELEC's atari800.cfg
(read only under an option that is off), the six RetroDECK XRoar ROM
lists no machine looks up, and the ROCKNIX melonDS DSi BIOS keys
(DSiExternalBIOSEnable is set by no shipped ini).
Conditions added: ROCKNIX and AmberELEC amiberry kickstarts hold only
outside a WHDLoad --autoload boot, ROCKNIX NanoBoyAdvance exits without
its BIOS, the EmuELEC scummvm.ini copy runs from an action no launch
passes, and the EmuDeck melonDS.toml keys need ExternalBIOSEnable (DS)
or ConsoleType 1 (DSi).
A launcher record citing a config, option or feature file binds only
when the platform's code installs the file (installs), its launch code
was read for what replaces it (overrides), and the emulator's profile
shows where the shipped build loads it and reads each key
(config_reads, read at pin_build). Unproven records place no file and
hand no directory. verify, cross_reference and the platform page list
them apart, outside severity and --strict.
Batocera starts MAME with -rompath <romDirname>;/userdata/bios/mame;
/userdata/bios, /userdata/roms/mame and the softlist folder added for
MESS systems, and -samplepath, -artpath and -crosshairpath below
/userdata/bios/mame (generators/mame/mameGenerator.py:129-143, 189 at
batocera-43.1, MAME_BIOS in mamePaths.py). No extractor read that
generator. It now goes through the generic reader KNULLI uses for its fork
of the same file, keeping the command line search settings: the
Macintosh boot disk the command names is a file.
Rescraped at batocera-43.1: the six records are the only change.
Manifests: Batocera drops samples/bbc.zip at the BIOS root, read by
neither build. mame/samples/bbc.zip, which its list declares, serves both.
The sets stay at the BIOS root, which the rompath lists.
RetroPie writes MAME's mame.ini with samplepath $romdir/mame/samples;
$romdir/arcade/samples and artpath the same way (scriptmodules/emulators/
mame.sh:135-136), and MAME4ALL's mame.cfg with rompath and samplepath
below $romdir (mame4all.sh:78-79). The extractor kept the lines naming
$biosdir only. An iniSet whose value lists folders below $romdir is now a
search path, one folder alone being where the program writes
(cfg_directory and the others). $romdir is read as RetroPie's roms root
(retropie_packages.sh:47-49).
Rescraped at the pinned revision 427e7621: the four records are the only
change.
Manifests: RetroPie's standalone MAME reads bbc.zip in roms/mame/samples,
no longer named as read outside the BIOS folder, and its 19 floppy
samples there.
libretro/mame hands MAME the rompath <content folder>;<system>/mame/bios;
<system>/mame/roms (src/osd/libretro/libretro-internal/retro_init.cpp:580-597
at 5f5a0774, 573-579 at dc1a9653 for 0.258, 582-588 at fba50741 for 0.278,
CORE_NAME "mame" in libretro_shared.h). The system folder itself is never
searched, and every pack put the sets there. The mame, mame0258, mame0278,
mamearcade and mamemess profiles now lay their sets out in mame/bios, the
standalone build keeping the top of its rompath. The release profile writer
and the device and set merge write the same paths on new entries.
RetroBat offers MAME as the libretro core mame and as the standalone mame64
(es_systems.cfg), two names of one profile, and laid out only the
standalone build. A libretro name whose profile the platform also runs
standalone under another name now makes the profile dual mode.
Manifests: mame/bios gains 1453 sets on RetroArch, Lakka, RetroPie,
EmuDeck and RetroDECK, 1427 on Batocera, KNULLI, RetroBat, ROCKNIX,
AmberELEC and EmuELEC, 78 on Recalbox. Root copies only these cores
claimed leave: 1373 on RetroArch and Lakka, 1372 on RetroPie, 1349 on
ROCKNIX, 1347 on AmberELEC, 1365 on EmuELEC, 240 on RetroDECK, 26 on
EmuDeck, 9 on Recalbox. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat keep theirs for the
standalone rompath. RetroBat gains the libretro layout: mame/hash (725),
mame/samples/floppy (19) and mame/plugins (71). The root copies other cores
still claim now hold the copy those cores resolve (38 on RetroArch).
Recalbox drops three Arcade/Arcade copies (coh3002t, pumpitup, naomi2)
that only the root claim reached, mame/bios holding the copies with every
member the 0.258 and 0.278 sets list. No set is lost.
AdvanceMAME reads its sets from dir_rom, a list of folders
(advance/osd/fileio.c:74, doc/advmame.d:680,699-701). EmuELEC's
advmame.rc sets dir_rom /storage/roms/mame (advmame.rc:11), and
advmame.sh rewrites /roms/mame to /roms/arcade when it is started for
the arcade system (advmame.sh:26-30). The extractor kept the keys under
the BIOS root alone: it now records those under the roms root too, and
a key the script rewrites gives one record for arcade and one for every
other system. A configgen record carries the systems it is written for.
The profile lays its 29 sets out at the top of dir_rom. On EmuELEC they
land in roms/mame. The 12 root archives AdvanceMAME alone claimed there
now hold the copies of the cores that also declare them (mame, geolith),
none of them lost.
A destination outside the BIOS tree is no proof of content: the moved
entry resolves by its layout path alone. roms/mame/konamigv.zip took
bios/Arcade/MAME/konamigv.zip, MAME 0.289's set, by that tail.
GZDoom collects its IWAD candidates from [IWADSearch.Directories], reads
the support WAD there and the Load files from the IWAD's own folder
(src/d_iwad.cpp:456-476, 593-624, 862-901). RetroDECK lists
RETRODECKROMSDIR/doom there (gzdoom/rd_assets/rd_config/gzdoom.ini:9),
which component_prepare.sh:27 rewrites to $roms_path/doom. The extractor
read only the BIOS placeholder of a preset: it now records every line
naming the BIOS or the roms folder the script rewrites, with that sed
line in its source. $roms_path, whose default is the roms root
(config/retrodeck/retrodeck.json:5), is read as that root.
The profile names IWADSearch.Directories as a pool and lays its IWADs
and their support and Load files out at its top. On RetroDECK the 20
held IWADs land in roms/doom, the 23 others are named missing there.
The root copies stay for prboom and uzdoom, which claim them. No other
platform hands GZDoom that list, so none changes.
MAME splits rompath, samplepath, hashpath and pluginspath on semicolons
and tries each directory in turn (src/emu/fileio.cpp:53-58, 330-392,
src/emu/emuopts.cpp:44-46, 53). The launcher records spell those lists
with the game's own folder in them, which handed_directories skipped:
- RetroBat passes -rp bios;<rom directory> (Mame64.Generator.cs:93-96)
and -rompath bios/psxmame/bios;<rom directory> to pSxMAME
(PSXMame.Generator.cs:38-48).
- KNULLI passes -rompath <romDirname>;/userdata/bios/mame;/userdata/bios
(mameGenerator.py:116-122).
- RetroPie writes rompath $romdir/mame;$romdir/arcade;$biosdir/mame
(mame.sh:133).
A semicolon list now gives each directory but the game's folder. A pool
that already lists the folder the files take keeps them there, and a
pool standing for the whole layout holds its files, never its folders.
The MAME profile names its sets at the top of the rompath and its
search settings as pools, pSxMAME its sets and rompath.
RetroBat's -sp and -hash records split on `bool hbmame = emulator ==
"hbmame"` (Mame64.Generator.cs:30): bios/mame/samples for mame64,
bios/hbmame/samples for hbmame.
Manifests: RetroBat gains the 12 pSxMAME sets in psxmame/bios and drops
samples/bbc.zip, read by nobody, which mame/samples/bbc.zip already
serves. KNULLI drops the same copy. RetroPie gains the 1427 MAME sets
in BIOS/mame, the root copies staying for the libretro cores. EmuDeck
names samples/bbc.zip as read outside the BIOS folder. RetroDECK's
samplepath is $bios_path/mame-sa/samples (mame/component_prepare.sh:94,
117): bbc.zip moves there from bios/samples/. Its MAME runs with the
-rompath ES-DE passes, %GAMEDIR%;%ROMPATH%/<system>, so the standalone
sets are named as read outside the BIOS folder and the root copies stay
for the libretro core. The 1427 sets
of RetroBat, KNULLI and EmuDeck stay at the BIOS root, listed in their
rompath. No file of any manifest is lost.
Every error outside mypy-baseline.txt is fixed in the code:
- common.py: the CRC32 step reused found, the name the layout branch
gives a resolution tuple, for its list of matches. It now has its own
name. bindings_of annotates its systems.
- launchers.py, retropie_launchers.py, install.py: an Optional value
read before its None check.
- recalbox_launchers.py, rocknix_launchers.py: Launcher calls take
typed keywords, a partial or named parameters, instead of a
dict[str, object] spread. end_lineno falls back to lineno.
- retrobat_launchers.py: the StageRomKey match no longer reuses the
str key, and record values are checked before they are iterated.
- batocera_launchers.py: the value of an assignment is read on an
Assign or AnnAssign only, and the launcher list is annotated.
- emuelec_launchers.py, emuelec_scraper.py, rocknix_scraper.py: import
fallbacks no importer reaches are dropped, a reused name renamed.
- batocera_targets_scraper.py: a submodule answer without a commit is
refused.
The baseline loses the 30 entries these fixes resolved and gains
none.
The xemu generator writes eeprom.bin and xbox_hdd.qcow2 into
saves/<system> from its own resources and passes both in xemu.toml,
copies chihiro_eeprom.bin between saves/chihiro and the emulator folder,
and points the Chihiro snapshot store at saves/chihiro. The Cxbx
generator runs each build from its emulator folder (chihiro, chihiro-ds,
cxbx-reloaded, else cxbx-r), where it writes settings.ini, writes
EEPROM.bin into cxbx-reloaded for an Xbox, and mounts an .iso with its
own xbox-iso-vfs.exe after checking the Dokan 2 runtime. Nine records,
read at emulatorLauncher ca486005.
A program the launcher runs from its own folder is no launcher read
left to collect. xemu-chihiro lists the two files it generates,
chihiro_eeprom.bin and chihiro_snapshots.qcow2, as unsourceable.
The amiberry and hatarib extractors give a search record and its copy
record one list object, and PyYAML wrote it as &id001 and *id001.
platforms/retrobat.yml, batocera.yml and knulli.yml carried such
anchors. The platform dumper now writes every list out, and the two
files the RetroBat scrape does not rewrite are dumped again through it:
their content is unchanged.
Phase 0 files snk-neogeo-pocket and neo-geo-pocket-color under snk-ngp and snk-ngpc. The No-Intro catalogs, their importer map and the campaign list now use those ids, the games index is regenerated, and the site's name table drops the eleven entries the new aliases leave unread.
Batocera's x86_64 RetroArch downloads the amiberry, cemu and xemu cores
although the image builds standalone emulators of those names. They now
stay in installable_cores, run both ways, and reach only the boards whose
downloader offers them.
installable_cores removed every buildbot name the image builds, so a
libretro core sharing its name with a standalone package was lost:
Batocera runs amiberry standalone and its x86_64 boards fetch
amiberry_libretro. A name now compares within its build mode, and the
resolver and the layouts treat such a core as the emulator's libretro
build, run both ways. Batocera gains amiberry, azahar, cannonball, cemu,
dosbox, ecwolf, eduke32, fsuae, openmsx, rpcs3, supermodel, vita3k, xemu
and ymir as installable, KNULLI cannonball.
RetroBat writes rom_path and whdboot_path below its amiberry emulator
folder and copies the kickstarts and rom.key it finds in bios into that
ROMs folder. The copies and both folders are launcher records, and the
8.3.0 standalone entries go to the emulators tree where the build reads
them.
KNULLI's RetroArch is Batocera's build with its core downloader on.
Its armv7 hard-float boards (atm7039, r16, rk3128) fetch from buildbot
linux/armhf: atm7039's shipped retroarch.cfg hides the menu entry but
leaves the URL, and Settings offers the entry back. Its aarch64 boards
get no buildbot URL. ecwolf, squirreljme, stella2014 and vemulator come
back as installable cores, and openmsx, which no buildbot list carries,
stays out.
Batocera builds RetroArch with its core downloader (configure defaults,
qb/config.params.sh:149-150), shown in the menu since it is no Lakka
build (config.def.h:743-745), and configgen sets no URL, so the compiled
one applies: buildbot linux/x86_64 or linux/armhf, none on aarch64
(config.def.h:1855-1861). The targets scraper names that list per board
(downloads, an armv7-A CPU read from arch/Config.in.arm), the builder
and the published target lists add it, and the platform names the union
as installable_cores. applewin, gong, squirreljme and vemulator come
back that way. A build option that compiles the downloader out, or a
shipped retroarch.cfg that blanks its URL, turns it off.
ROCKNIX listed retroarch, which stood for every libretro profile (351
resolved), while its devices build 124 libretro packages. The platform
list now names the cores those packages install on at least one device.
The targets scraper read a package's name as its core: vice-lr installs
vice_x128, vice_x64, vice_xpet, vice_xplus4 and vice_xvic, which reached
no device. It now reads each package's makeinstall_target, the file
copied to ${INSTALL}/usr/lib/libretro under its target name, through
TARGET_ARCH and ENABLE_32BIT (pcsx_rearmed-lr, desmume-lr). 155
profiles resolve, each built by a device, and no device loses one.
The 29 port engines depend on emuelec-ports, which no package of a
released image depends on, and flycast-dojo is in no device list: the
targets scraper already says so (UNBUILT). The platform list and the
launcher records now hold what at least one device image carries. Each
system keeps the list es_systems.json gives it, which says whose files
its entries ask for: VVVVVV's data.zip is still never served xrick's.
KNULLI's es_systems.yml is Batocera's model: it lists every emulator
its configgen knows, and its Config.in selects many of them only on
x86_64 boards, which KNULLI has none of. The platform list now holds
what at least one board selects, read by the targets scraper, plus a
program the launcher runs from the BIOS folder (lexaloffle). 59 cores
and 44 standalone emulators leave the list, with their launcher records.
The targets scraper follows Config.in and every file it sources, so a
select a package declares itself counts (Batocera's mesa3d-rpi4 gives
the Pi 4 OpenGL). A sourced file absent at the pin is named and read as
empty: KNULLI 20260511 sources package/utils/vtree/Config.in, added in
June.
ROCKNIX builds amiberry 5c54536 (target.h declares 5.6.5). Every file
it reads lies below its start path, the working directory: the ROM
database dumps, aros-ext.bin, aros-rom.bin and rom.key in kickstarts/,
the WHDLoad booter files in whdboot/. Profiled from that revision,
pin_frozen with pin_build on ROCKNIX's package.mk.
The ROCKNIX scraper records the folder its start script enters and the
kickstarts link it carries there by copying /usr/config/amiberry, so
<cwd>/kickstarts binds to the BIOS root. A standalone + libretro profile
under a name the platform's own build answers to no longer resolves
there: ROCKNIX's amiberry is 5.6.5, not 8.5.0.
The configs root place joins roms and emulator folders in the split
handed directories, and RetroBat's portable folder table keeps both
sides. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat records regenerated.
RetroBat passes XRoar -rompath bios/coco for the coco system, and its
es_features offers the CoCo 3 machines there. The per-system record now
carries those machines (machines:), and an entry whose name the
platform list does not declare is launched for the system offering
its own profile system as a machine, by _norm_system_id. coco3.rom and
coco3p.rom move from bios/dragon to bios/coco. RetroBat offers no
MC-10 machine, so the mc10 ROMs keep the default bios/dragon.
Sudachi.Generator.cs:28-30 creates user/ beside sudachi.exe, and
sudachi reads it as PORTABLE_DIR (path_util.cpp:92, fs_paths.h:9) in
place of %APPDATA%. Its keys now go below emulators/sudachi/user/.
Both binding sides kept: roms_place, named handles and environment
variable directories from integ run through the pool and per-system
binding of this branch. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat launcher records
regenerated from the merged extractors.
RetroBat's generators create user/ beside yuzu.exe and eden.exe and
portable/ beside Ryujinx.exe, which the emulators read in place of
%APPDATA% (PORTABLE_DIR, Ryujinx AppDataManager.cs:12, 60). Their keys
now go below emulators/<key>/.
Batocera and KNULLI start shadPS4 from CONFIGS/shadps4, so its user
folder sits below /userdata/system/configs. The scrapers read that root
from batoceraPaths and write configs_root with its source_ref. The
manifest names it configs_directory, and install.py honours it through
the same checks as roms_directory: character rules, at most two ups,
the ancestor match and the lexical bound.
The standalone Amiberry scans rom_path, ROMs below its content root by
default, for the ROMs of its database, without descending into
folders, and reads rom.key beside the Kickstart and the MT-32 ROMs
from mt32-roms. Those entries now carry standalone_path relative to
it, the four Kickstart labels holding slashes flattened. The kick*.rom
names stay the libretro build's.
Batocera's config_directories reads its rom_path save, KNULLI reuses
it. On Batocera, KNULLI and RetroPie the ROMs move from the BIOS root
to bios/amiga.
XRoar reads a ROM by name from the directories of rompath. The entries
take their file name as path, relative to ~/.xroar/roms or
${prefix}/share/xroar/roms, and rompath and -rompath are declared as
search lists.
Batocera records its rompath line, Recalbox -rompath bios/<system>
(the placeholder its extractor already writes), RetroBat its -rompath
as two records, bios/dragon and bios/coco for coco. An entry whose
name the platform list does not declare follows the launch its
profile system is listed under: Recalbox lists mc10.rom under
trs80coco, so alice.rom is read there.
Batocera ROMs move from the BIOS root to bios/xroar, Recalbox ROMs to
bios/dragon and bios/trs80coco, RetroBat ROMs to bios/dragon and
bios/coco. RetroDECK and RetroPie keep them at the BIOS root.
KNULLI's configgen-defaults.yml picks suyu for the Switch, which its
es_systems.yml does not offer and no package of its tree, its batocera
submodule or its buildroot builds: KNULLI does not ship suyu. A default
es_systems.yml does not offer now counts only when a package of the
build's trees has that name, or when its launcher runs a program from
the BIOS folder (Batocera's lexaloffle). Batocera's lists are unchanged
by the rule. suyu leaves KNULLI's cores, and the XDG_DATA_HOME record
that served it goes.
openMSX reads share/systemroms below OPENMSX_HOME or ~/.openMSX and
every filepool entry by SHA1. The profile paths drop RetroBat's
openmsx/ prefix and declare those directories and the filepool.
Batocera's config_directories reads the filepool lines its generator
writes, KNULLI reuses it. RetroBat records OPENMSX_HOME, RetroPie the
moveConfigDir of ~/.openMSX that its systemroms link lies in, and the
configure --prefix of xroar that its roms link lies in.
Batocera and KNULLI system ROMs move from openmsx/share/systemroms to
openmsx/, beside the files their own lists declare, RetroPie's to
BIOS/openmsx, the folder linked as share/systemroms.
Batocera's 002-adjust-paths.patch rewrites Citron's KeysDir to
/userdata/bios/switch: patched_paths reads it from the patch, and KNULLI
from its batocera submodule at the pinned commit. Batocera and KNULLI
start shadPS4 from /userdata/system/configs/shadps4 (os.chdir), KNULLI
sets suyu's XDG_DATA_HOME to /userdata/saves/switch, and RetroBat creates
the portable user folder beside citron.exe and shadPS4.exe. Each platform
file differs from its scraper's full output by these records only.
A profile names a folder a handle rewrites as "<handle> = <subfolder>",
and a record setting a variable or a working directory a declared folder
is spelled from binds the whole layout below it.
