The new-format hiscore.dat was served by name to cores whose parser reads
only legacy lines. Eight cores now pin the hiscore.dat their own
repository ships, four revisions newly collected.
System.dat pins the 2 KiB X1 font as xmil/IPLROM.X1T, where xmil reads
a 32 KiB Turbo IPL. A held copy of the exact size a profile declares now
proves its claim against a file of another size, so the existence packs
ship the IPL. The font's duplicate under the IPL name is removed.
It was the SCPH-70004 v12 ROM2 under a Galaksija name, kept only because
System.dat gives Galaksija's ROM2.BIN that hash. ROCKNIX installed it as a
stray ROM2.BIN; it now gets the dump under the name its BIOS pairs with.
The standalone b2 loads its machine ROMs from assets/roms; the profile
declared none because the libretro port embeds them. 44 entries from
tom-seddon/b2 e1c9b84, 31 ROMs collected, 12 already held.
The profile documents BAM 1.5-408 but the collection held the
1.5-360 BAM.dll and renderingengine.dll, served by name. ravarcade
still serves BAM_v1.5-408.zip; its two DLLs become the primaries,
with hashes, and the 1.5-360 builds stay as variants.
A copy under .variants/ exists to hold a content its primary does
not. 29 held bytes another file already carried, under a second or
third identity: msx.rom and MSX.ROM variants equal to
MSX_8020-20bios.rom, naomi2.zip.da79eca4 whose suffix named the
primary's sha1 rather than its own. dedup now removes such a copy,
keeping one when only variants hold the content. The LaserActive
PAC-S10 BIOS lived only under .variants/ while RetroBat names it
without a hash; it moves beside its siblings.
The four MT-32 and CM-32L ROMs had a second copy in the Amiga
tree, and the identity exemption that hid the crossing named a
DOSBox tree instead. The copies move next to the Munt ROMs already
under Roland, and each exemption now names the makers it covers,
so a copy under a third one is reported.
Recalbox checks geolith/neocd.zip by the composite md5 of its members,
which is front-sp1.bin then top-sp1.bin: the Front and Top Loader
BIOS geolith reads inside neocd.zip, both already collected. The
archive is rebuilt as a TorrentZip variant and Recalbox's last
missing BIOS resolves.
Three refs cited paths under Q3E/src/main/jni that the repository does
not carry: xash3d-fwgs and SeriousSamClassic are git submodules, so the
parent tree holds pointers and nothing else. They read as the separate
repositories they are, which is what the external form is for.
Reading the last two changed blocks turned up the substance.
ETQW_GLSL_SHADER_VERSION went from .3 to .6, and the bundled
zzz_etqwbase.pk4 grew from 136061 to 141815 bytes: the size, md5 and
sha1 the profile recorded describe the pack that was replaced. The new
one is in, the old one kept as a variant for builds that still expect
it, and GameResourceUrl gained two Quake 4 mod entries along the way.
70 refs, 68 anchored and 2 external, none left to read.
LinApple 3.0.0 moved every ROM out of hand-written byte arrays into
res/roms/*.rom, which scripts/generate_roms.sh compiles into
EmbeddedRoms.cpp behind an ENABLE_ROM_* macro. The bytes survived the
move: every hash this profile recorded against the old string literals
matches the image that replaced it.
The macros are what matters. ENABLE_ROM_CLONE_BASE64A,
ENABLE_ROM_CLONE_PRAVETS and ENABLE_ROM_CLONE_TK3000E are OFF in the
default build, so Base64A, Pravets 82/8M/8C and TK-3000 //e refuse to
start: mem_initialize finds no rom_data, names the cmake flag and the
--rom option, and returns -1. Five system ROMs the user has to supply,
none of them documented until now. The collection already held them.
Also new: icon.bmp, which the SDL frontends read from disk through the
data search path, and the J-Plus system ROM the old profile did not
list. The tree behind the old refs is gone, so the notes describe the
one that replaced it: five frontends, src/core, src/apple2, and a
program_dir still declared and never assigned.
38 refs, all anchored. 9 of 9 files present.
dedup.py removes a copy only when another file has the same SHA-1 and
the same name, keeping the higher-priority path, so resolution by hash
still finds the content. Verified rather than assumed: all 17268
manifest entries ship the same bytes as before, no destination gained
or lost, only the source paths consolidate. Every deleted path's content
is still held elsewhere.
12.1 MB and 48 empty directories go with them. The index and the
published artefacts are regenerated on top.
Rebuilt from the complete state: 8923 files indexed, 436 emulators, and
coverage up on every platform that gained a profile. The gap count falls
from 9 to 7, the three that closed being the C128 kernal, the Cave Story
build and Supermodel's Games.xml.
Whole pipeline green on this revision: database, provenance, recipes,
data directories, hash scrapers, truth, verify, packs, manifests,
consistency and pack integrity across the twelve platforms.
