The entry cited only the configure line that packs every *.rom into the release. The General Sound loader opens GS_ROM_NAME, fixed to gs105a.rom (src/soundchips/gs.h:34), and no code names gs104.rom, so ZEsarUX never reads it under its name.
Three changes to the search-list model, one commit because the readers
and the profiles must move together for the schema to hold.
Set requirement in a groups map. pom2 falls back on apple2.rom for the
][ and the ][+, and on apple2e.rom for the //e it boots and for the
unenhanced //e: one required on the file could not say both. A profile
now declares groups: {name: {required}}, a member writes no required
of its own (schema and validate_schemas refuse one) and load_emulator_
profiles derives it, true when one of its sets is. group takes a name,
a list, or a map from set to rank where the rank differs per set. pom2
is grouped from SystemProfile.cpp and MainWindow.cpp:246-296 at its pin.
One member per required set under --required-only. The pick is the
first the code reads among the held members the region filter leaves,
by rank then declaration order; a set the platform declares a member
of is carried by that declaration. The emulator pack, verify
--emulator, the platform pack, its manifest and verify --platform read
alternatives.required_only_spares or core_file_spares.
variant_group is now selection_slot: files a core chooses between by
a rule other than first found (disc territory for PicoDrive and
Pizza Boy SC, the o2em_bios option, a WebAssembly probe in SWF
Player). Where the code takes any one, the field became a group:
ARMSX1 (ArmSxBackend.java:149-157, name order), ePSXe (load_bios
0x433540-0x433621 of the 2.0.5 Linux x64 binary, one configured path,
HLE when BiosHLE is set), FPse and FPse-NG, DXX-Rebirth's HOGs
(inferno.cpp:472-512). odin and zesarux carried it with no effect.
slot.py compares ranks only between candidates that share a set.
Each standalone profile records where its version is read: the source
at its pin (clk 2026-07-23-136-g9020107, shadps4 0.20.1 WIP, eden
v0.2.0-401-g26a03d2), the APK, binary or archive read (kind package),
or, where no reading can be made, kind unverified with the reason: a
host the tools cannot read, a forge gone or not answering, no build
recorded as read, a pin on another branch. Those keep their value,
unconfirmed.
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.
rom_load now maps Scorpion ZS-256, ZS-256 Turbo+, Scorpion GMX and
Didaktik Gama to four new bundled ROMs (src/cpu.c:3549-3564), sized by
get_rom_size at 64K, 64K, 512K and the 16K default. The TK90X Ferranti
models reuse tk90x.rom and tk90xs.rom. Both ZX Evolution ROM images
were replaced upstream, so their sha1 changed.
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
A prose citation whose text lived under several pins stayed in
read again until the text changed, so fixnes, zesarux and emucorex,
exact at their pins, would have refused every later bump.
prose_written_at names the pin a reader confirmed; it settles the
readings and never overrides a history with one candidate.
Annotations and text after a located head were discarded before
anchoring, so a citation written there never moved with its pin:
zesarux cited two macros four lines off. The leftover text of every
source_ref is now scanned as prose, and the two citations are fixed.
Every part of its ref names a class from the shipped app, not a file in
the repository, and only the first carried the release label; the
continuations were looked up in the tree. race, xendroid, zesarux and
sdl2trs only needed their pin to catch up.
