The default core is now hakuX, an HLE kernel that needs no firmware, so the MCPX, flash and disk images are only required by the xemu core. The Chihiro driver is now built: Chihiro BIOS, media board flash and the three baseboard EEPROMs are read beside the flash image. SDL3 replaces SDL2, so the user mapping file is gamepad_map.txt.
FDS content is now also recognised by its fwNES header or side marker (lib.rs:2225-2244). disksys.rom is unchanged: 8192 bytes from the system directory, no hash.
The Android build now runs libretro SwanStation instead of psxe. Its importer accepts only 512 KB images whose MD5 is in a 25-entry table (Ps1BiosProbe.java:29-55), so the agnostic scph1001.bin entry becomes those 25 identified images. psxe now refuses sizes other than 512 KB and 1 MB (psx/dev/bios.c:44-49).
Starter tables are now .vpz folder packs, segment textures load a -cov.png coverage atlas beside them, table music falls back to the folders 10.8 searched (ScriptGlobalTable.cpp:120-148) and a Windows-only BAM plugin is staged. The build fetches pinmame d5e1921 now (platforms/config.sh:11): container sets unchanged, cited lines remapped.
The default branch 'rebased' is force-pushed GroovyMAME on MAME master, and ac85e94 no longer exists on it. Releases are cut from groovymame0289: gm0289sr222f is 953db38, the revision the refs and the mame0289 upstream pin describe. source_branch now names it.
Line shifts only in the ROM loader. The keyboard art, my_soft and copier citations now name the find_sharedfile calls (menu_items.c:22030, 22051, 32650; menu_items_storage.c:667-669); the old lines were blank or unrelated at the previous pin too.
Sound Canvas models are now looked up only inside the Nuked-SC55.clap library (src/midi/soundcanvas.cpp:77-93), and a generic clap MIDI device runs a user-named plugin (src/midi/clap.cpp:52-82). ROM files and hashes unchanged.
1.4.0 boots a single-game package by its own .smf and, in the Emscripten build, writes saves to the frontend save directory (save_manager.rs:33-48, api.rs:194-197). Still no file outside the game package.
Upstream 6641863 also accepts 8.bin, E.bin and e.bin, and the Emscripten build looks beside the content (crates/bbkemu-libretro/src/lib.rs:191-218). Same two files, same model directory.
Release 0.6.0 (80cdb6d) adds a COH-3002C handler that reads coh3002c.zip (arcade_machine_handler.cpp:290-319). ROM loading moved to arcade_rom_loader.cpp, which also matches a member by size and CRC32, reads .7z sets and falls back to parent archives; konamigv.7z is read when konamigv.zip is absent.
Upstream stopped shipping WHDLoad, JST and the skick346 RTB files: the standalone build now fetches them from whdload.de and Aminet (skick346.lha pinned by SHA-256 at src/osdep/amiberry.cpp:12265). AmiQuit became host-quit, boot-data.zip changed, and three RTB files the download extracts (kick37175.A500, kick36143.A3000, kick39106.A1200) are added with hashes taken from the pinned archive.
Upstream registered the Aleck64 PIF BIOS as a NOT_A_DRIVER set at src/drivers/aleck64.c:776, loading pifdata.bin. The pin moves from the force-pushed dcf44cc to 8167047.
The Vulkan renderer merge (75 commits): no ROM loading change. The CMakeLists.txt organization and app name definitions moved down six lines (647-648).
183 upstream commits. Ultima's data_archive.cpp was folded into Common::load_engine_data, which opens ultima.dat and checks its version.txt the same way (common/engine_data.cpp:273-279). No dists/ or gui/ file changed, so the bundled hashes hold. Adds japanesemacfonts.dat, which the Mac GUI reads for Japanese fonts and ScummVM does not ship.
The fork rebased on trzy 1481545 (Src/Version.h:32 now 0.3a-1481545-mm); the two commits touch tilegen timings, the PowerPC core and the GUI only. upstream_commit follows to 1481545. The 11726c4 release archives carry the same Games.xml, Music.xml and crosshair bitmaps. RetroPie builds the main branch tip on x86, so the pin follows HEAD; the ROCKNIX arm build stays a note, with the version it prints.
101 upstream commits. Japanese glyphs now come from M PLUS 1p embedded with the Inter font (imgui_drawer.cc:481-498), so msgothic.ttc and the fontconfig CJK match are no longer read; XConfig gained a per-title random MAC address. Still no system file read. The libretro core is still at f23c14c.
Three upstream commits on tilegen write timings and the VF3 start-up: no cited file changed and every ref anchors at 1481545. Version.h still reads 0.3a-WIP. Libretro-Supermodel is still at 84bc106.
47 upstream commits. The ECam patch gained a Symbian 8.1a build (ecam_v81a.dll, [epoc81a] in ecam.dll.map) and per-version map sections; the mediaclientaudio and mediaclientvideo patch DLLs were rebuilt. Sizes and SHA-1 read from src/patch at d55da28. Firmware and ROM loading unchanged; the libretro branch is still at e39ccac.
One run of profile_sync --all --rebase-refs --fresh. Every guard held:
no ref to review, no prose left under an older pin, no file name or hash
literal gained in a cited file since the pin, no built_by pin and no pin
keyed by build mode. The site's record of cited source paths is rebuilt
with them.
Seven HID and UI commits (keyboard packets, Esc opens the in-game menu). The XeFu warning moved to emulator_window.cc:1995-2005; no file loading changed. xenia-libretro is still at f23c14c.
Three trzy commits: billboard output device, per-game GUI settings, wnaspi32 link flag. No file loading changed. The notes now say the GUI also rewrites Supermodel.ini (Gui.cpp:1492). Libretro-Supermodel is still at 84bc106.
16 upstream commits (MIDI, Avkon message queries, guest screen mode, iOS card mount flags). Android, iOS and Qt citations moved by one to three lines; firmware and ROM loading unchanged. The libretro branch is still at e39ccac.
The fork rebased on trzy e048c09 (Src/Version.h:32 now 0.3a-e048c09-mm), one commit touching the drive board outputs only; upstream_commit held there with upstream_frozen. The 0455189 release archives carry the same Games.xml, Music.xml and crosshair bitmaps. Notes name the arm branch commit ROCKNIX builds.
Bare tiletex.cc, database.cc and maps.cc resolved in crawl/crawl once upstream_commit moved. They describe the libretro fork and now carry crawl-ref/source/, read at cc2530f. upstream_commit to a5ed934.
26 VICE-relative citations resolved in the VICE mirror once upstream_commit moved. They describe the tree vendored under C64.emu/src/vice and now name it, read at 1c12fac. upstream_commit to 2e2a43e.
Bare a7800.cpp and xm.cpp resolved in mainline MAME once upstream_commit moved. Each citation now names its path in the fork, read at 7a2afdc. upstream_commit to mamedev 9d8a672, where the PAL BIOS is still c300558-001b.u7 and the 7800 ROMs carry no ROM_OPTIONAL.
Upstream 453b679c adds the Taito G-NET driver to zn.c with two BIOS roots, coh3002t (eight members, four BIOS EPROM revisions) and coh1002t. metadata/hiscore.dat gained three Asura Buster sets: new hash. Pin 03fc843.
Read from NO$GBA.EXE of no$gba-w.zip v3.06. The boot ROM table, loader and every file read match v3.04, which RetroBat still ships; only the addresses moved.
Pro 7.4.17 has no genuine copy anywhere; no_genuine_copy moves to it. The native references hold at the same lines in the DBTecno-signed Basic 4.1.15 bundle; its Java slot gate moved to MainActivity.java:3207-3213.
Pro 3.9.0 has no genuine copy anywhere; no_genuine_copy moves to it. The native and Basic Java references hold at the same lines in the DBTecno-signed Basic 2.3.22 bundle, which also carries the multiplayer BIOS CRC32 exchange.
Linkboy 4.0.0 keeps the three firmware slots, sizes, md5 table and loader behaviour of 3.11.4. Class names and library addresses are re-read from the 4.0.0 Play build, and the firmware import path is documented.
Same chain as the first pass: no ref to review, no file name or hash
literal added to a cited file since the pin, no profile a single
platform builds at a fixed commit, refs recaled with their pins, and the
written prose read again.
Covers ROCKNIX scummvm-sa and AmberELEC SCUMMVMSA, SDL2 builds with SDL2_net. Pinned to master 6f7b060d with hashes of the files there. Adds eem.dat, macventure.dat, fonts-imgui.dat, wwwroot.zip and monkey4-patch.m4b to the set the SDL1 build reads.
ROCKNIX vice-sa builds the 3.8 tarball (svn r44900) with the SDL2 UI. Lists the ROMs, palettes and keymaps make install ships, which ROMs mem_load needs at startup, and the three CMD drive ROMs the release does not carry.
The retro_arena front end of sydarn/yabause pi4-update (a40dace1), which ROCKNIX and AmberELEC build, opens a BIOS only at the -b path and runs HLE otherwise. The three named files stay libretro-only.
ROCKNIX names its standalone packages <emu>-sa (package.mk under
projects/ROCKNIX/packages/emulators/standalone at 20261001); RetroPie
names its libretro scriptmodules lr-<name>. Each name joins the profile
of the project its package builds. supermodel-sa builds
DirtBagXon/model3emu-code-sinden, the supermodel3 profile.
Only Android keeps the profile's files under one folder. On desktop the RTP comes from the registry, XDG data dirs or RPG*_RTP_PATH, and the soundfonts from the game or working folder.
