RetroBat's es_features.cfg and KNULLI's es_features.yml list the values
a menu offers. They move out of source_ref into choices_from, beside the
generator that writes the choice. RetroBat's xemu flashrom record holds
outside a Chihiro launch (Xemu.Generator.cs:48, 284), and KNULLI's
libretro boot disk records name the one core es_features offers them
for. Rescraped at the pinned revisions.
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.
MAME and libretro MAME pass /userdata/bios/<bootdisk>.img with -flop1
when the option is in the generator's list, else <bootdisk>.chd with
-hard. Each branch is a {bootdisk} template: the list the code tests
for the floppy, and for the hard disk the choices es_features.yml
offers that the list does not take. The menu offers macos3 while the
code tests macos30, so System 3.0 is passed as macos3.chd.
configureINI writes [Folders] Bios = ../../../bios/ps2 into
inis/PCSX2.ini, which PCSX2 and AetherSX2 resolve against the config
folder configgen hands it. relative_folders reads the call, the ini
path and the value, and records the resolved /userdata/bios/ps2 as a
passes_path for pcsx2 and aethersx2.
A copies record names its files under search_dir, the folder the code
copies from, and passes_to is the target, as the schema and RetroPie,
RetroDECK and AmberELEC already write it. KNULLI listed patches.zip
under the BIOS folder it is copied into, and KNULLI and RetroBat wrote
the target as prose with the condition. The condition of a copy now
goes in depends_on_option. Only launcher records change in knulli.yml
and retrobat.yml.
knulli_launchers reads KNULLI's configgen and the PICO-8 installer at
the tag the scraper pins: Batocera's extractors where the generator is
still Batocera's code, KNULLI's own for lexaloffle, libretroOptions and
knulli-install-pico8, and one AST reader for the BIOS paths the other
generators pass on a command line, in a config key or the environment,
copy or test for. 52 records.
