RetroPie writes dir_rom $romdir/mame-advmame:$romdir/arcade into the
rc of each AdvanceMAME build (advmame.sh:100, configure_advmame being
called by the 1.4 and 0.94 modules too). _search_list_in_roms split
every list on ';', so the line was dropped and the sets landed at the
BIOS root, where no build reads them.
Each program's separator is now read from its own code: AdvanceMAME
strtoks dir_rom on file_dir_separator(), ':' on Linux, in the three
builds RetroPie ships (advance/linux/file.c:138-141, advance/osd/
fileio.c:696-699 at 96237a5, 685-688 at advancemame-1.4, 640-643 in
advancemame-0.94.0). MAME splits on ';' (src/emu/fileio.cpp:56, 64,
112 at mame0289). RetroPie is rescraped at 427e762: the three
passes_path records are its only change.
advmame, advmame-1.4 and advmame-0.94 carry a retropie config_reads
for dir_rom, read at the build RetroPie installs (96237a5, the tag
advancemame-1.4 its tarball matches, the 0.94.0 tarball). The 1.4 and
0.94 profiles gain the dir_rom pool and a path for each set, and 0.94
a pin_build on rp_module_repo.
Manifests: on RetroPie 55 sets of the three builds move from the BIOS
root to roms/mame-advmame, the first folder of the list, which every
game started from either folder reads. Seven archives other cores
share stay at the root for them. No other platform changes. verify
--all keeps its severity and status counts.
ROCKNIX, EmuELEC, AmberELEC, EmuDeck and RetroDECK records citing a
config now carry the code installing it, whether that keeps a file
already there, and the launch code rewriting its keys. Rescraped at the
pinned revisions.
Records the shipped code never reads are no longer written: EmuELEC's
mame.ini folders (MAME.opt turns paths off), AmberELEC's atari800.cfg
(read only under an option that is off), the six RetroDECK XRoar ROM
lists no machine looks up, and the ROCKNIX melonDS DSi BIOS keys
(DSiExternalBIOSEnable is set by no shipped ini).
Conditions added: ROCKNIX and AmberELEC amiberry kickstarts hold only
outside a WHDLoad --autoload boot, ROCKNIX NanoBoyAdvance exits without
its BIOS, the EmuELEC scummvm.ini copy runs from an action no launch
passes, and the EmuDeck melonDS.toml keys need ExternalBIOSEnable (DS)
or ConsoleType 1 (DSi).
RetroPie writes MAME's mame.ini with samplepath $romdir/mame/samples;
$romdir/arcade/samples and artpath the same way (scriptmodules/emulators/
mame.sh:135-136), and MAME4ALL's mame.cfg with rompath and samplepath
below $romdir (mame4all.sh:78-79). The extractor kept the lines naming
$biosdir only. An iniSet whose value lists folders below $romdir is now a
search path, one folder alone being where the program writes
(cfg_directory and the others). $romdir is read as RetroPie's roms root
(retropie_packages.sh:47-49).
Rescraped at the pinned revision 427e7621: the four records are the only
change.
Manifests: RetroPie's standalone MAME reads bbc.zip in roms/mame/samples,
no longer named as read outside the BIOS folder, and its 19 floppy
samples there.
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.
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.
RetroPie starts UAE4All2 with pushd $md_inst, the directory whose
kickstarts folder it links to BIOS/amiga. The scriptmodule reader now
emits that working directory as it does for DraStic.
DraStic opens nds_bios_arm9.bin, nds_bios_arm7.bin and nds_firmware.bin and checks their size. Its nine aliases are in none of its binaries, and neither platform launcher passes them: ROCKNIX links the two BIOS names from its bios folder, and RetroPie runs DraStic from $md_conf_root/nds/drastic (drastic.sh:48), now a passes_path record. The collection answers DraStic's names with its DS dumps in generate_db, where repository names belong.
The scraper walks each package's functions the way RetroPie runs them in one shell (assignments, arrays, for loops, brace expansion, $md_id, calls into other packages) and records every link, copy, move and setting that names $biosdir, the addEmulator flags (sdltrs -romfile3), the BIOS read outside $biosdir (basilisk --rom, gngeopi -B) and the launch scripts that exit without their file (fs-uae kick13.rom, reicast dc_boot.bin).
Each package also gets a package record with its rp_module_repo and the systems it registers, which maps a package to the build it compiles. The schema gains package, repo, systems and the moves and package kinds. platforms/retropie.yml is regenerated at 46128cd2: only the launchers section is new.
