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).
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.
ROCKNIX builds amiberry 5c54536 (target.h declares 5.6.5). Every file
it reads lies below its start path, the working directory: the ROM
database dumps, aros-ext.bin, aros-rom.bin and rom.key in kickstarts/,
the WHDLoad booter files in whdboot/. Profiled from that revision,
pin_frozen with pin_build on ROCKNIX's package.mk.
The ROCKNIX scraper records the folder its start script enters and the
kickstarts link it carries there by copying /usr/config/amiberry, so
<cwd>/kickstarts binds to the BIOS root. A standalone + libretro profile
under a name the platform's own build answers to no longer resolves
there: ROCKNIX's amiberry is 5.6.5, not 8.5.0.
ROCKNIX's start_pico8.sh runs pico8_64 or pico8_dyn from
/storage/roms/pico-8 and RetroBat's Pico8 generator runs pico8.exe from
its pico8 emulator folder. Both are recorded as exec records, read from
the scripts at the revisions the platform files pin.
ArcadeDuck searches the folder above a CHD-only set, GSplus writes the
first of four ROM names it finds, Hatari falls back on EmuTOS, hatariB
copies a TOS from bios/hatari/tos, and #region lines precede method
headers. ROCKNIX renamed start_hatari.sh and dropped aethersx2-sa.
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.
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.
