Adding one entry to mame.yml moves 938 cards from one part page to the
next, and a published emulators/mame-files-1/#file-... address landed
on a page without the card. A part page now sends a file- id it does
not hold to the emulator page, whose card index row opens the part that
holds it.
pin_build, in 36 profiles, names the platform repository, revision, file
and variable that hold a pin_frozen revision, and the site read none of
it: the Revision held row printed the file as plain text. A Build file
row links each one at the revision it was read at.
A .variants/ copy downloads as advision.zip.1c086064, its storage name:
raw.githubusercontent.com sends no Content-Disposition and the download
attribute is ignored across origins. A card whose download name differs
from the file name now says what to save it as, at a glance.
Without jsonschema the documented command stopped on an ImportError
traceback. Run as a command it now prints the install pipeline.py names
for the same step, with the format-nongpl extra, and exits 1. An import
from the tests still raises ImportError, which they skip on.
files/?hash= read the collection, platforms, emulators and retired files,
never the Wanted list: the SHA1 of Redump's ps2-dvd-212k.bin answered
that nothing the site knows has it. The lookup now carries a wanted
layer from the rows of provenance-wanted.csv, computed once for both,
and the page names the catalog that lists the dump.
The --destinations branch of _main rebound held, the ExitStack that
holds the data directory locks, to the dict it writes. It is now
named destinations, and a test refuses a rebinding of the stack.
Native RetroArch on Linux keeps retroarch.cfg under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/retroarch when the variable is set, and falls back to ~/.retroarch.cfg (file_path_special.c fill_pathname_application_data, configuration.c open_default_config_file at e98e1da0). Detection read ~/.config/retroarch only.
install/launchers/index.json records the SHA-256 of install.py that
--add-app checks, and the page listed only the pins of install.sh and
install.ps1 as what a change to install.py rewrites.
Every card read "Not collectable" and the gaps page listed 259 entries as
acknowledged gaps verified from source code. unsourceable: only keeps a
same-named file from being served in the entry's place, and each entry
stays an acquisition target (wiki/profiling.md). The section now names
the catalog or romset that lists each file, from the provenance report
built with the profiles' needs: XM7's KANJI2.ROM is in No-Intro and in
MAME's fm7740sx.zip. The old anchor still leads to the section.
--platform bizhawk --target switch printed skipped, then Done., and
exited 0 with no model written. generate_truth now resolves targets
through build_target_cores_cache, as verify and generate_pack do: a
named platform without the target is refused with exit 1, --all
leaves such platforms out and says so.
verify judged a found_by: content entry by its label alone and called ROCKNIX's scph1001.bin (v2.0) a rustation sha256 mismatch, though rustation declares and boots that dump. A label now accepts the dumps its core takes for the same system and declared region.
_load_sources read a truncated .sources.json as empty: fetch served
the cached original of an older pin as current, the next download
rewrote the index with one entry, and check_freshness said no URL was
recorded. It now raises SourcesIndexUnreadable naming the remedy, and
check_freshness reports one ERROR row for the index.
Three guards named generate_site.py or a fixed list of four modules, while
page text now lives in twelve site modules and packreadme.py. The list
is a glob. Read that way, the pack README said "all of theirs" twice.
Five generate_site helpers read ./emulators or ./platforms, and
has_release_pack read platforms relative to the working directory: run
from scripts/, a released setup's get page showed the No ZIP line.
siterender's fallbacks and sitediagrams read the repository too. All of
them now read siteinputs. platforms/_guides.yml stays the repository's:
siteguides loads it at import, before any flag is parsed.
modified_for_git read the stdout of git status without its exit code:
a corrupt index printed nothing, the working change read as unmodified,
and --apply wrote HEAD's blob over it. Every git call now raises on a
non-zero status, and the command exits 2 naming the git error.
game_dat_importer and arcade_parent_importer each kept an exact-text
copy of write_if_changed, so a redump refresh rewrote every catalog for
its fetched date alone. Both now use artifacts.write_if_changed, which
treats fetched as a timestamp. A No-Intro rebuild still rewrites its
catalogs, since asset_updated_at moves with it, so check_freshness keeps
reading a fetched date no older than the pack.
The page-finishing pass reloaded the repository's database.json whatever
--db said, so a card held only by the given collection raised KeyError.
siteinputs holds the inputs generate_site was given.
A platform entry that resolves only through a data directory tree read as missing with no cause on a checkout where data/ was never refreshed, while an online pack build refreshes the trees and packs it. verify_platform now reports the uncached trees and prints them when files are missing.
A core with found_by: content reads no file by the destination's name. Any dump its profile accepts for the system settles the slot: Batocera, KNULLI and ROCKNIX ship scph1001.bin v2.0, which DuckStation and rustation accept under scph1001_v20.bin.
The target scraper kept its own copy of the EmuScripts table and took
.ps1 files the platform scraper never read, so emudeck-we's template
skeleton was published as a core and removed afterwards by an override.
Both scrapers now read emulator_of_script, and the platform scraper
lists the installers at the pinned revision, as launchers: and the
SteamOS target already did. Targets rescraped, override dropped.
A path declared twice, once unpinned and once with a pin the copy misses: the builder wrote excluded over the file it shipped, in either order of the two systems. It now counts the path untested, as verify does, and lists no exclusion.
generate_emulator_pack resolves with offline=offline and fetches a release asset the cache lacks, while verify_emulator resolved offline and called it missing. verify --emulator now applies pending_release_asset as verify --platform does, accepts --offline, and the pipeline compares emulator packs offline on both sides.
PlatformRecords stripped lr- to compare package records with cores. The scraper now names a libretro package with core_name(), lr-dosbox-pure as dosbox_pure, so the test reads the same function.
The RetroDECK verify excerpt counted 1800 core files in the pack. Companion entries no longer sweep cheats, GameIndex.yaml and DVD firmware to the BIOS root, and the same run prints 1764.
Setup names on 530 emulator pages lowered their weight in the index and
ranked the data page first for batocera folder and retroarch system
folder. The row is left out of the search, as the card's setup lists are.
A Packed line on each file card put the MAME parts, BizHawk, blueMSX,
FBNeo and GroovyMAME over the 10,000 element budget. The Run by row of
the page already names the setups that pack the emulator's files.
files/?sha1= of a file the collection no longer holds answered that no
file the site knows has the hash. generate_db.py now records each sha1 a
rebuild drops in retired.json, with the day and the file in its place,
backfilled from the history since 0d586ef6b (4,139 files). The lookup
answers with it and leads to the successor's card.
libmt32emu scans the ROM folder and identifies every file with identifyROMFile (src/midi/mt32_lasynth_model.cpp:68-91 at fa1856c0), and the Nuked SC-55 plugin loads with RomLoader::Hashing, matching SHA-256 against its table. The 50 MT-32 and Sound Canvas entries now carry found_by: content, so the truth no longer says dosbox-staging opens their labels.
The entry documents the pcsx2x6 component, whose FindBiosImage (pcsx2/ps2/BiosTools.cpp:268-291 at 583f0e90) takes the first 4 to 8 MB romdir image whatever its name. pcsx2x6.yml already said so, and the RetroBat truth gave the file two identities. The guard no longer needs an agnostic flag to read an entry.
FindBiosImage (pcsx2/ps2/BiosTools.cpp:278-302 under app/src/main/cpp/pcsx2 at bda532f3) keeps the first 2 to 8 MB file with a romdir, whatever its name, as upstream PCSX2 does. The guard reads entry-level agnostic flags too, which is how it surfaced.
The lookup held a member only where a profile's contents: declares it,
so 26,014 of the 33,403 members of collection archives answered nothing.
Each member's CRC32 is now an archive-member record leading to its
archive's card, read from the central directory, and files/ names the
archive holding it.
FindArcadeBiosFor (pcsx2/ps2/BiosTools.cpp:366-419 at 7f914418) scans the BIOS folder for 2 to 8 MB COH-H images and picks by EXTINFO serial, never by name. r27v1602f.8g, r27v1602f.7d and COH-H31000.BIN now carry found_by: content, and the truth no longer says armsx2 opens those names. The guard covers the 2 MB lower bound.
install.py tells a MiSTer card by its MiSTer binary and menu.rbf since
73b82375d. installer.md said so, the FAQ and the README did not, and sent a
MiSTer user to --dest the card's root, where nothing reads the files.
tools.md listed what keeps a platform entry out of removal_candidates
without the platform's launchers: records, which candidates.py checks
right after a path (_PROOF_ORDER).
The note said RetroBat leaves out DSI-SD.ZIP and still carries the v3.04 executable. It now states what the package holds. The prose test refuses a platform name followed by such a phrase in a profile.
The note judged the CHECKBIOS handling instead of describing it. It now says what memory.cpp:80 does: the MD5 comparison runs only for YES_VAL, so AUTO accepts any content. A rejected BIOS is filled with 0xFF (line 97), not zeroed.
