Sets the platforms' MAME launches load: CoCo, SCV, BBC, Electron, Mac, Dragon 64, Archimedes and others, each with its members' crc32 from libretro/mame at the pin. The note now states the version the commits pin (0.289) instead of a hand-kept count.
amiga-os-310.rom and Recalbox's kick02019.AROS pair are opened by amiberry's ROM scan (amiberry_gui.cpp, rommgr.cpp at the pin). MinivMacBootv2.dsk is opened by minivmac.
SwanStation hashes the first 512 KB of the 4 MB PS3 ps1_rom.bin, which is its table entry c02a6fbb (bios.cpp:70). Two refs pointed one line off: the hashes are on lines 66 and 71 at the pin.
ps2-0250j-20100415.bin passes the folder scan of pcsx2, armsx2 and yaps2. EmuDeck's SCPH-70004 .BIN, .ROM1 and .ROM2 are aliases in pcsx2, and the .rom1 note now says the stat is case-sensitive.
RetroBat's ares launcher writes the LaserActive BIOS paths into ares's settings, and ares loads them with no hash check. Three EmuDeck Mega CD md5s are images ares's sha256 table names, so their md5 sits beside the sha256.
RetroDECK, ROCKNIX and EmuDeck write Complex.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin into xemu's flash ROM path, and Batocera points chihiro at cerbios.bin. They are aliases of Complex_4627.bin.
Ymir standalone identifies an IPL by its XXH128 with seed kIPLHashSeed (memory_defs.hpp:10) against ipl_db.cpp:9-17. Each image's digest was recomputed with that seed and falls on the cited row.
blueMSX names Msx2pe, Msx2pexte, pesadelo and svi328a in its machine configs. openMSX declares the sha1 of nine RetroBat system ROMs in its machine XMLs, and unpacks IDE250.DAT from ide250.zip.
atari800 scans the system folder and recognises each OS and BASIC ROM by CRC32 (sysrom.c:104, 317-420), whatever its name. RetroDECK's ROM_* names are those config keys. Eleven entries carry md5, crc32 and size, under the label altirra already uses for the same dump where one exists.
Batocera, Recalbox and RetroBat choose the TOS file and pass its name to standalone Hatari (--tos, szTosImageFileName) or to hatariB (hatarib_tos): hatariGenerator.py:74-75, 158-193 (Batocera), Hatari.Generator.cs:144-154 (RetroBat). The libretro build still opens tos.img only. The names are aliases of tos.img.
A profile states where the code reads a file as path: or destination:,
and the resolver reads both. The truth copied path only: redream's
dc_bios.bin, read at dc/boot.bin, reached the export with no path, so
System.dat's dc/boot.bin was not seen and a dc_bios.bin line was added,
and Batocera got bios/dc_bios.bin instead of bios/dc/boot.bin.
Each truth entry claimed its platform line in turn, so the first one to
arrive won. dosbox-x's system.rom (alias bios.rom, no path) took
Batocera's np2kai/BIOS.ROM by name before np2kai's own np2kai/bios.rom
was tried, and the export wrote an IBM PCjr md5 on it. A path also
outranked a contradicting hash: the truth's MSX.rom joins bluemsx's path
and fmsx's md5, which replaced the blueMSX dump on Recalbox's and
System.dat's Machines/Shared Roms/MSX.rom while fmsx's own line held it.
pair_entries runs each test over every entry before the next, tests that
contradict no hash first. export_native and diff_truth both read it.
The intro gave an opinion on the effort lists take and said nothing is removed, while RetroArch and Lakka lose three hashes and one size. It now says no entry is removed, that dropped values are listed per platform, and names exactly what the tests run on patched code.
Profile notes and wiki pages called .info entries phantom or incorrect, and labelled an upstream list a known defect. They now state what each file declares and what the code reads. The wiki claimed Batocera prefix-matches truncated md5s; its script compares the full string (batocera-systems:1088), which the page now says. The gaps column reads "Not read by profiles" and notes that a profile may be incomplete.
The page called the original "their file" and listed hashes "corrected" and additions "left out", a verdict on work the page only proposes to extend. It now says what each updated file changes in neutral terms built from the report's numbers, gives the reason a file is not added, credits the effort a list takes to keep current, and invites an issue when a change does not fit a platform. A test keeps the judging words off the page.
The nested list structure stays, so each label renders bold instead of showing its asterisks. The platform details block becomes a list as well: its labels were paragraphs followed by items with no blank line between them. validate_site now reports any asterisks that reach a rendered page outside code, which runs in the deploy and in pipeline step 8b.
The rendering test imported pymdownx, which the CI test job does not install. An admonition nests its body by the same four spaces, so the test uses it and needs only markdown.
A key holding a mapping was written as a paragraph, and its children landed eight spaces deep inside the four-space admonition, where Markdown reads an indented code block: the clownmdemu analysis showed raw asterisks. Each level is now a list item with its children as a sublist, booleans read yes or no, and a null reads none.
BlastEm opens 32X_M_BIOS.bin and PicoDrive 32X_M_BIOS.BIN. On a case-insensitive platform the manifest kept the first and dropped the second core's claim, so an install narrowed to PicoDrive (RetroArch on Switch) lost the 32X BIOS its pack carries. The claim now joins the entry kept.
Recalbox now resolves uae4all to its own libretro build, so only the bundled entries of the standalone uae4all2 reached these two AROS ROMs, which its release ships.
Recalbox compiles uae4all from Chips-fr/uae4all-rpi (libretro-uae4all.mk:8-9), a libretro core that reads kick34005.A500 from the system directory and nothing else. built_by makes the name resolve to it on Recalbox only.
The libretro core passes system/mame/{hash,plugins,samples} (retro_init.cpp:111-155). Software lists are required in mamemess, where softlists are on by default. The trees and the 19 floppy samples are collected from libretro/mame at the pin.
Seven artwork zips from the core's metadata/artwork are read from mame2003-plus/artwork/ when Display Artwork is on, the default (artwork.c:2242-2258).
The libretro core copies whdboot from the system directory and uses a candidate only when WHDLoad, JST, AmiQuit, boot-data, the game database and the five RTB files are all there (amiberry.cpp:11510-11584). The core zip has none of them, so they are collected.
The standalone build loads it from the working directory then the profile root (app.cpp:5084-5119). The release packages ship it, the libretro tree never reads it.
tilemap.bin and tilepatch.bin are compiled into the core and settings come from core options, so no res/ file or config.xml is opened (omusic.c:50-67, config.c:86-87).
The A500 and LOUD floppy sound sets are read from uae_data/ (driveclick.c:77-104) when the option picks them, and capsimg is loaded from the system folder for IPF images (caps.c:37-96). The ten samples are collected from the core repository.
Since 3fffeb1 prboom.wad is compiled into the core (d_main.c:1449-1465). The IWADs it searches beside the content, in system/prboom/ and in system/ are now listed, with the ZDoom pk3 loaded before a pk3 mod.
The profile listed none. id1/pak0.pak is required (host.c:711-760), the retail and mission pack paks are read in order until one is missing, and Quoth 2.2 is mounted when the content path names it (common.c:1017-1020, 1724-1725). The three Quoth paks are collected, pak1.pak as a release asset.
With colorization set to custom, a DMG game reads palettes/<rom>.pal, then <header title>.pal, then default.pal under the system directory (libretro.cpp:2012-2091). A user-made file, so the entry is unsourceable.
realrtcwdefault.cfg is required (files.c:4364-4368), autoexec.cfg runs unless in safe mode, and eleven pk3 archives are loaded by the scan of main/. All of them ship in the RealRTCW 5.2 package, so they are bundled and stay out of the packs.
legacy_<version>.pk3 is the engine's own build output, named from git describe and different for each release and architecture (ETLBuildMod.cmake:301-316, ETLVersion.cmake:120-131). It is installed with the engine, not downloaded on first run as the note said.
The pin was an unreleased tree past r49 labelled r50, while the rom.bin hashes were r49's. No r50 emulator release exists, so the profile now pins the r49 tag those hashes describe, and names its source repository so the pin is read.
LoadShadersFromDisk opens five shaders and two includes from the hlsl folder beside cxbx.exe and aborts when one is missing (Shader.cpp:812-825, 846-929). They ship in the release zip, so they are bundled.
Recalbox compiles uae4all from Chips-fr/uae4all-rpi, a libretro core, while RetroPie's uae4all package is the standalone uae4all2. A profile whose built_by names the platform now wins the name there, and a bare key match still decides everywhere else.
The pin (1e0de94d) already loads Sega CD, 32X, ColecoVision and LaserActive firmware from the system directory, and the profile still described the earlier core with no BIOS at all. Each file now carries its code reference, required flag and build. The LaserActive player firmware (uPD78237, 64 KiB) is collected from the dump its author published.
unread_on names the platforms whose launcher points the emulator at other files. RetroBat writes absolute BIOS paths into standalone BlastEm's config, so the default names were reported as required and missing there. Such an entry leaves that platform's gap report and pack, and its emulator page says where it is never opened.
hiscore_init opens the file through emu_file with no search path. The branch that built system_dir/mame/ is under #if 0, so the profile's mame2015/ path named a place the core never reads.
A .uqm in content/packages is mounted at the root, one in content/addons at addons, and loadAddon opens addons/3domusic, addons/3dovoice and addons/remix (options.c:393-402, 518-551, setup.c:118-132). The six music, voice and remix packs were placed where they would not load. The installer writes them to content\addons too.
