The lone-dash check read MAME's -rompath and -samplepath, QUASI88's
-romdir and RetroBat's -hash and -sp as half a dash glued to a word.
Quoted as code they read as flags. A C loop quoted in romdir.py and a
docstring in test_agnostic_scope no longer read as clause semicolons.
Batocera starts MAME with -rompath <romDirname>;/userdata/bios/mame;
/userdata/bios, /userdata/roms/mame and the softlist folder added for
MESS systems, and -samplepath, -artpath and -crosshairpath below
/userdata/bios/mame (generators/mame/mameGenerator.py:129-143, 189 at
batocera-43.1, MAME_BIOS in mamePaths.py). No extractor read that
generator. It now goes through the generic reader KNULLI uses for its fork
of the same file, keeping the command line search settings: the
Macintosh boot disk the command names is a file.
Rescraped at batocera-43.1: the six records are the only change.
Manifests: Batocera drops samples/bbc.zip at the BIOS root, read by
neither build. mame/samples/bbc.zip, which its list declares, serves both.
The sets stay at the BIOS root, which the rompath lists.
Every error outside mypy-baseline.txt is fixed in the code:
- common.py: the CRC32 step reused found, the name the layout branch
gives a resolution tuple, for its list of matches. It now has its own
name. bindings_of annotates its systems.
- launchers.py, retropie_launchers.py, install.py: an Optional value
read before its None check.
- recalbox_launchers.py, rocknix_launchers.py: Launcher calls take
typed keywords, a partial or named parameters, instead of a
dict[str, object] spread. end_lineno falls back to lineno.
- retrobat_launchers.py: the StageRomKey match no longer reuses the
str key, and record values are checked before they are iterated.
- batocera_launchers.py: the value of an assignment is read on an
Assign or AnnAssign only, and the launcher list is annotated.
- emuelec_launchers.py, emuelec_scraper.py, rocknix_scraper.py: import
fallbacks no importer reaches are dropped, a reused name renamed.
- batocera_targets_scraper.py: a submodule answer without a commit is
refused.
The baseline loses the 30 entries these fixes resolved and gains
none.
The configs root place joins roms and emulator folders in the split
handed directories, and RetroBat's portable folder table keeps both
sides. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat records regenerated.
Both binding sides kept: roms_place, named handles and environment
variable directories from integ run through the pool and per-system
binding of this branch. Batocera, KNULLI and RetroBat launcher records
regenerated from the merged extractors.
Batocera and KNULLI start shadPS4 from CONFIGS/shadps4, so its user
folder sits below /userdata/system/configs. The scrapers read that root
from batoceraPaths and write configs_root with its source_ref. The
manifest names it configs_directory, and install.py honours it through
the same checks as roms_directory: character rules, at most two ups,
the ancestor match and the lexical bound.
The standalone Amiberry scans rom_path, ROMs below its content root by
default, for the ROMs of its database, without descending into
folders, and reads rom.key beside the Kickstart and the MT-32 ROMs
from mt32-roms. Those entries now carry standalone_path relative to
it, the four Kickstart labels holding slashes flattened. The kick*.rom
names stay the libretro build's.
Batocera's config_directories reads its rom_path save, KNULLI reuses
it. On Batocera, KNULLI and RetroPie the ROMs move from the BIOS root
to bios/amiga.
XRoar reads a ROM by name from the directories of rompath. The entries
take their file name as path, relative to ~/.xroar/roms or
${prefix}/share/xroar/roms, and rompath and -rompath are declared as
search lists.
Batocera records its rompath line, Recalbox -rompath bios/<system>
(the placeholder its extractor already writes), RetroBat its -rompath
as two records, bios/dragon and bios/coco for coco. An entry whose
name the platform list does not declare follows the launch its
profile system is listed under: Recalbox lists mc10.rom under
trs80coco, so alice.rom is read there.
Batocera ROMs move from the BIOS root to bios/xroar, Recalbox ROMs to
bios/dragon and bios/trs80coco, RetroBat ROMs to bios/dragon and
bios/coco. RetroDECK and RetroPie keep them at the BIOS root.
openMSX reads share/systemroms below OPENMSX_HOME or ~/.openMSX and
every filepool entry by SHA1. The profile paths drop RetroBat's
openmsx/ prefix and declare those directories and the filepool.
Batocera's config_directories reads the filepool lines its generator
writes, KNULLI reuses it. RetroBat records OPENMSX_HOME, RetroPie the
moveConfigDir of ~/.openMSX that its systemroms link lies in, and the
configure --prefix of xroar that its roms link lies in.
Batocera and KNULLI system ROMs move from openmsx/share/systemroms to
openmsx/, beside the files their own lists declare, RetroPie's to
BIOS/openmsx, the folder linked as share/systemroms.
Batocera's 002-adjust-paths.patch rewrites Citron's KeysDir to
/userdata/bios/switch: patched_paths reads it from the patch, and KNULLI
from its batocera submodule at the pinned commit. Batocera and KNULLI
start shadPS4 from /userdata/system/configs/shadps4 (os.chdir), KNULLI
sets suyu's XDG_DATA_HOME to /userdata/saves/switch, and RetroBat creates
the portable user folder beside citron.exe and shadPS4.exe. Each platform
file differs from its scraper's full output by these records only.
A profile names a folder a handle rewrites as "<handle> = <subfolder>",
and a record setting a variable or a working directory a declared folder
is spelled from binds the whole layout below it.
Configgen takes the configgen package path and whether the importer has
a legacy map, so KNULLI's copy at package/system/knulli-configgen reads
with the same extractors. hatari accepts the bare filename KNULLI builds
and joins to BIOS, and options read by subscript or isOptSet. melonds
accepts a console type read by subscript. Batocera's records are
unchanged at batocera-43.1.
Batocera's lexaloffleGenerator runs bios/pico-8/pico8 and
bios/voxatron/vox, raises when the binary is missing or not
executable, and puts each folder on LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The new
extractor records both per system from the AST, with the lines
of batocera-43.1 that say it.
standalone_path is relative to the directories a standalone build
resolves it against, now declared per profile (standalone_directories).
A launcher record that links or passes a whole folder of the BIOS tree
under one of them gives that folder, and platform_layouts rebases the
standalone view once for the builder, the manifest, verify and slots
(launchers.standalone_root, common.standalone_destination).
Flycast on RetroPie and ROCKNIX reads bios/dc, on EmuDeck
bios/flycast/bios, on Batocera (FLYCAST_BIOS_PATH) and RetroBat
(Dreamcast.BiosPath) bios/dc. The ROCKNIX, Batocera and RetroBat
scrapers now record the patched data directory, the environment
variable and the setting that say so.
Recalbox starts its emulators from a Python configgen too. The parsed source, the record and the ast helpers move to configgen_launchers so both readers use them. Batocera's extractors are unchanged.
The scraper reads the start scripts and the configs each package installs at the tag the BIOS list is pinned to: configs that name a BIOS path, the yabasanshiro search, directories handed to DuckStation and the PCSX2 builds, and the ln -s commands that put bios/ where an emulator reads. A package that ships one config per device gets a device field only where the values differ, as melonDS does on AMD64.
The scraper parses the configgen generators with ast at the pinned tag: DuckStation and its legacy build, Hatari, xemu, melonDS, mupen64plus 64DD, x16emu, GSplus, and the o2em and neocd core options. An extractor that no longer recognises its code raises instead of writing an empty list.
