A reviewed SYSTEM_PARENTS table leads variants (WonderSwan Color, Neo Geo MVS, MSX2) to the section holding their files, an Arcade heading that reads the name exactly is accepted, and system_search_aliases() gives the platforms' native ids for search. 260 of 636 ids linked before, 338 after.
The script exporters (Batocera, ROCKNIX, KNULLI, AmberELEC, EmuELEC)
read the checker of the pinned original: when checkBios hands an
item's md5 to a function that tests it with isinstance(..., list),
as md5Matches does since batocera.linux 6b08b873, an entry whose
emulator code accepts several dumps is written with all of them, and
an addition that needed several becomes writable. Items with altmd5
keep a string, since checkBios wraps them in a list of its own.
No cached original reads lists today, so every export is unchanged.
The report records a list as a list, counts the lists written, and
records a list the truth extends without contradicting it.
batocera.linux 6b08b873 lets a biosFiles item declare its md5 as a
list of strings, and checkBios accepts a file matching any of them.
The scrapers join the values with commas, as for Recalbox, and record
md5_list so the export writes the list back as a list, byte for byte.
Reads website/dist: page weight and element budgets, sidebar labels,
tips, crumbs, stacked phone tables on reader pages, dates in words, and
the integration items of the round (logo, emulator letters, system
links, the getting-started redirect, Served by in existence mode).
The wanted lists of the provenance page and the files to source of the
gaps page move to pages of their own, cut in parts past 300 KB of
Markdown. System pages split from 300 KB and emulator cards from 220 per
page. A moved card keeps its anchor through the files/?sha1= lookup.
--check names why each flagged file is refused and where each core
opens it, and names a pack part missing from the folder from the
markers split_pack writes. --from-pack installs from a downloaded
pack or its parts with no network request, --manifest reads a saved
file list, both checking every hash. The end of a run names the
system or core that pulls most of the download when narrowing saves
over half.
verify_entry_existence returned no path, so RetroArch, Lakka and
RetroPie pages showed no Served by line. It now returns the resolved
path as the hash modes do. verify.py --all prints the same bytes and
its JSON is unchanged.
A system link followed the folder its files sit in: emerson-arcadia-2001
reached the Saturn and sega-naomi the Dreamcast. It now goes to the
section system_name() reads, or stays a plain name. Console headings
carry an explicit id, so Sega's Mega-CD no longer shares mega-cd.
The decoration pass now forwards the logo front matter, pointed at the
local copy. The emulators index lists every profile under the initial
the sidebar draws, so each letter link lands on its section.
Platform pages link each reader's source line at its pinned revision, name the collection file that serves each entry, show launcher records with their lines, name systems with the id beside them and the list they were read from in words. The largest system lists move to pages of their own so a platform page stays under 500 KB.
Gaps: plain numbers with a bar, a badge only for missing required firmware, Files to source as a heading. Cross-reference: counts per platform, one page per platform, one row per upstream project. Exports: gaps listed once, status, category and the serving file in the CSVs and SQLite, the commit in each API envelope, the provenance Wanted list as CSV. Catalog dates in words on the provenance page.
A platform entry that declares a hash is now answered by the profile entries accepting it. Batocera's scph1001.bin (md5 dc2b9bf8, v2.0) cited DuckStation's bios.cpp:36, the v2.2 line. A same-named entry is kept, marked by name, only when none accepts the hash and its own hashes do not contradict it. Categories are unchanged: verify --all prints the same report.
Other holds one folder per emulator, so it gets its own table. The file
count comes before the maker so it stays on a phone screen, and a card's
searched label stays out of the search excerpt.
Reading this project's own reports gets its own page. Checker code is linked at the revision each platform list was read from. Installer moves to Your setup, legal to Start here, build internals to Contribute, and Reference pages carry a group.
The safety list names the save folder, every install command shows its Windows form, first install reads the last line of a run, the FAQ answers zip or unzip and the arcade version rule, and each page keeps one name.
Diagram text reads at 14 px in the column, boxes take the height of their lines, paths are mono on a line of their own. One setup count for every page. Wiki pages expand install commands into system tabs, an options table read from install.py, and keep example hashes out of search.
Required BIOS first with a Start with line by region, a fact grid with
setup display names and a key, a link icon in place of the word
permalink, a console table on the systems index.
The intro names systems and, when required files are one per region, says to pick the one for the game's region. Cards go under Required, Optional and Game data with a summary table above, split pages in the same order. Header and index read singular classes, system names, one spelling per core and plain counts.
The 404 page opens on Start here instead of tabs numbered 0 to 4. A group label is a group, or in Explore one link to its overview, never a link to its first page, and a crumb names the section that introduces the page. Emulators sit one level deep by initial. Previous and next run within a tab (Start here into Your setup) and skip system, emulator and platform pages, and follow a page's Next steps list. Reference pages group under Checking files and Data, a wiki page joining by its group: front matter. redirects.json maps alternative core names to their profile.
siterender.system_name reads the heading of the console section the id spells, then SYSTEM_NAMES, and raises for an id in neither. The emulator intro and the picker titles read it instead of the folder a system's files were voted onto.
RetroDECK listed every component standalone only. Azahar, Cemu, Dolphin,
MAME, melonDS, PCSX2 and PPSSPP also run through RetroArch: RetroDECK/ES-DE
es_systems.xml at 15e1b236 loads <name>_libretro.so beside each standalone
command, and the cores ship whole from the buildbot nightly
RetroArch_cores.7z (retroarch/component_recipe.json:250-262). Their
libretro layouts, Azahar's save-dir files among them, now reach the pack.
batocera-systems lists bios/saves/dolphin-emu/Triforce/segaboot.gcm, so the pack folder for the save directory is userdata-saves/. validate_schemas refuses a pack folder the BIOS tree already uses.
