Same five firmware sets and CRCs. On Auto a 1.44 MB floppy now selects the HG, the first model with a three-mode drive (src/geartowns_core.cpp:1968-1976).
libjavam3g.so rebuilt from changed m3g render context sources, hashed
from the 1.8.2-dev-1973 build. The config screen now copies picked
shaders and sound banks into their directories.
Base directory falls back to a Steam, GOG or Epic install when it has no
game data. The embedded pak gained crosshairs and a console background.
QuakeEX.kpf documented: it serves rerelease localization when no loose copy exists.
supertux runs only on EmuELEC, which builds 37cddf24 (v0.6.3), and
advanced_drastic only on KNULLI, which builds eaf41ab. Both pins stay on
those builds.
chocolate-doom, supertuxkart and fheroes2 run only on EmuELEC, piemu only
on AmberELEC, alephone only on RetroPie. Each of those builds a fixed
revision (package.mk PKG_VERSION, or the release-20250829 tag), so the
pin stays on it and profile_sync judges the profile against itself.
Every cited block was read again at HEAD: no ref left to review, no
file name or hash literal added to a cited file since the pin
(--detect-new-files --watch-hashes), refs recaled with their pins.
Profiles built by a platform at a fixed commit, or whose bump would
leave prose under an older pin, stay where they were.
trident cites the Panda3DS fork 3dsTrident vendors as a submodule, now
its upstream at the submodule pin 69095ee6. pce-emu, uqm and stonesoup
wrote paths from a subdirectory (PCE.emu/, sc2/, crawl-ref/), nesoid
named two Java files without their directory; lines unchanged, each read
at the pin.
The pages no longer take a binary citation (DesktopKinect.dll, an
address continuing a BAM.dll range) for a source path, and a Forgejo
tree is read page by page: mirrors/Ryujinx holds 4704 entries, 1000 a
page.
core_version is v0.1-12070: git describe at 4122fed9 counts 12,070 commits past tag 0.1, as gen_scmversion.sh does. The NTSC-U licence string is quoted as system.cpp:959 spells it, with its two spaces.
Read at each pinned commit: Azahar, Citra, Citra 2018, Panda3DS, Trident,
FS-UAE and Stella read these below the frontend save directory, Dolphin
and Ishiiruka below <save>/User, Cemu its MLC below <save>/Cemu. Each
profile names its library_name. Citra Canary reads sysdata from the
host data directory: its pin moves to the canary branch it is built from.
The buildbot's azahar_libretro is built from azahar-emu/azahar: the
2026-10-22 nightly carries g_scm_rev f570b53f (master, 2026-10-16) and
the key blob of src/core/hw/default_keys.h byte for byte. The profile
now reads that repository at tag 2126.2, whose file-loading code matches
f570b53f apart from licence headers.
The libretro core keeps its user directory under <save_dir>/Azahar/,
falling back to <system_dir>/Azahar/, so path: carries the Azahar/
prefix and standalone_path: the user directory layout. The embedded
keys.txt is the 2126.2 blob (sha1 5288772b). azahar-sa is ROCKNIX's
name for the same standalone.
KNULLI builds the SDL2 frontend of johndoe6345789/azahar_libretro at
c8d39853 as its azahar binary, so that fork moves to azahar-sdl.yml
with built_by: [knulli].
svg_bios.u49 is listed in svgpcbBIOSRomDesc (d_pgm.cpp:923-929), which only
STDROMPICKEXT(svgpcb, svgpcb, svgpcbBIOS) at line 7035 pulls in. The FBNeo
DAT likewise places it in svgpcb, and pgm's own list (pgmRomDesc, lines
879-892) has six members. The fbneo profile now files it under svgpcb.zip.
bios/Arcade/Arcade/pgm.zip is rebuilt as TorrentZip from the six members of
the FBNeo pgm recipe. The build is byte for byte the copy that was in
.variants/pgm.zip.6bbbce09, which goes. The two unpinned seven-member
copies (.variants/pgm.zip.931a4971 and MAME/.variants/pgm.zip.6ade4934)
go too: every member is still held, svg_bios.u49 as
bios/Arcade/FBNeo/svg_bios.u49. The pinned copies (87cc944e in MAME/,
68ef99a1 in .variants/) are untouched.
MAME renamed the Galaxy Games BIOS root from galgbios to galgames in 0.288 (galgames.cpp:1301, listxml of 0.288 and 0.289). mame.yml and mamearcade.yml document 0.289 yet still listed galgbios.zip; mamearcade lacked galgames.zip, which mame.yml already had. The release profiles mame0258 and mame0278 keep galgbios.
macs2os_l.bin and macs2os_h.bin are NO_DUMP from 0.135u4 to 0.289, and
handle_missing_file counts a missing NO_DUMP ROM as a warning or known
bad, never an error. recel is NO_DUMP at 0.258 as well. mame.yml,
mamearcade.yml, mame0258.yml and mame0278.yml come from the scraper
rerun, which also carries the systems mame.yml gained since 10-17.
Both pairs from the Real3D SDK disc (_SETUP.1): Bayou 0x64130009 at
Assets/, Orlando 0x64130005 in .variants/. The .pmem size check against
the .cmem header keeps a pair from mixing models.
chex.deh and french.deh come from idgames (themes/chex/chexdeh.zip, utils/exe_edit/patches/french.zip), both released with no restriction by their author.
The bare name mupen64plus is the standalone program on every platform that lists it (Batocera, KNULLI, Recalbox, RetroPie, ROCKNIX). The libretro buildbot publishes no core by that name, so mupen64plus_next no longer claims it.
dinothawr.game is the content file or, without content, system_dir/dinothawr/dinothawr.game. The copy is the one at the pinned revision, which references bg.apng; the 2013 buildbot archive carries an older manifest.
A type 5 level event loads newsh<char>.shp through shapeFile[34] with dir_fopen_die. The 31 banks the Tyrian 2.1 levels name are listed, those of episode 1 required, and taken from the freeware tyrian21.zip. newsh1 and newsh6 load on every run and are required.
The DOS data the engine reads from the content directory becomes structured game_data entries: level, global, monster, cutscene and subtitle files, the demo archive and CD probe, the Sega CD voice file and the Amiga music modules.
