The target scraper stripped -sa from every standalone package while the platform scraper keeps both spellings. vice-standalone, scummvm-standalone and supermodel3 answer to vice-sa, scummvm-sa and supermodel-sa only, so every targeted ROCKNIX build left them out. Both now read standalone_emulators(), and the targets are rescraped at tag 20261001.
The platform scraper kept lr-dosbox-pure as dosbox-pure, which matched the standalone DOSBox Pure Unleashed profile, while the target scraper wrote dosbox_pure. Both now read core_name(), and platforms/retropie.yml is rescraped at its pinned revision 46128cd2: only the libretro core names change, and six Unleashed files leave the RetroPie manifest.
When the truth accepts the BiosDB hash but none of its sizes fits, the MiSTer render keeps the entry's size beside the hash, and the report still counted a size removed. A size the truth does not state is no longer reported as changed.
Batocera and KNULLI check a zippedFile item's md5 against the member inside the archive. A profile's container md5 for the archive would have replaced it as a correction. The item's md5 is now read as Recalbox's composite md5 is: neither compared with the container's nor overwritten by it.
fetch checked archives only, so a System.dat served as an HTML page with 200, or a 0-byte cache, reached render() as a file with no entries. System.dat, es_bios.xml, RetroBat and RomM then rebuilt the platform's file from our data and reported OK. Such an original is now refused, before it is cached and when read from the cache, and a format that needs its original fails when none was read.
A platform system spanning several native ids with no native_id filed every addition under the id that sorts first: RetroDECK's arcade wrote MAME device archives as FBNeo BIOS, RetroBat's Amiga put A500 kickstarts under amiga1200. An addition now joins the id whose declared files its cores read, and one the cores do not settle is counted and not written.
profile_needs decided held-ness from each record's own name. np2pi's KANJI2.ROM, held as the PC-88 n88knj2.rom, was listed missing and paired with a Fujitsu dump. It now reads by_name as verify does, and an unsourceable entry is not held by a homonym, which lists xm7's KANJI.ROM.
PCSX2 stats <bios>.rom1 then <stem>.rom1, case-sensitive on Linux (BiosTools.cpp:214-229), and so does PCSX2 1.6 for erom. The pack wrote the stored SCPH-70004.ROM1, never found. A companion entry also seeded a scan of its own with a 4 MB bound and swept cheats, GameIndex.yaml and DVD firmware to the BIOS root. A companion now scans its image's folder for its own extension only, any size, since the code reads min(size, filesize), and is written as the code spells it.
A data tree's archive came with no progress line, and the run ended on the BIOS bytes alone (310.5 KB where 82 MB arrived). Its download now draws the progress line and adds its bytes and time to the end line, a cut attempt taken back. It writes no progress event: those count the download event's files.
Batocera and KNULLI write the image name, not the board, to the card's board file (post-image-script.sh). The target scraper now records each board's images from Config.in, the target lists carry them, and the installer maps a card's image to its board. KNULLI's boot/knulli.board is read too.
cross_reference --platform listed core files the platform's launcher already settles, as Batocera's DuckStation scph1002a.bin while the PAL slot holds scph5502.bin. It now hands the launcher layer the same entries verify does, and counts what it settles as set aside.
Offline, resolve_head answered None for a tip the cache never stored, as for a branch the forge does not have. select_views then dropped xenios-jp/XeniOS and judged its citations against has207/xenia-edge. The tip and the dated commit now raise NotCachedError, and the profile is skipped as unread.
A platform entry names no profile, so bios/Other/<emulator>/ was never foreign to it. EmuELEC's ports/VVVVVV/data.zip resolved to xrick's data.zip, then to xrick's data directory copy. A system that lists its cores now takes no name match only another emulator's tree answers.
Step 5 builds the --required-only, --no-game-data, --region, --target
and --system packs of every platform in memory and compares their paths
with verify run under the same narrowing. verify_platform gains
required_only, generate_pack a record mode. A run samples three regions,
targets and systems per platform (155 packs, about 3 minutes);
--full-narrowings compares all 1,150 (25 minutes). A test fails when
_narrowings() gains a dimension that is neither compared nor exempted.
The published platform contract validates against platform.schema.json, which does not carry the resolver's per-entry system key. The two inheritance tests and the alias call check read the new entry shape, and the testing guide lists test_maker_folder_names.
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.
A platform pack carried only the trees its own systems declared, so for_platforms reached RetroArch, Lakka and RetroPie alone and every other platform running blueMSX, FBNeo or Dolphin got no tree. The pack, the install list and the pipeline's tree members now add the trees of the libretro cores the platform runs, below the system directory and build folder the core reads, unless the platform installs or never opens them. A platform entry the manifest resolved into a carried tree becomes that tree's member, which the installer can fetch: AmberELEC and EmuELEC no longer hold 192 blueMSX machine configs back. stonesoup reads its tree beside the content and pcee2 compiles its resources in, so neither tree reaches a BIOS pack.
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.
