Pin moves to 2de3bf8 (v8.4.2). roms/aros-ext.bin, roms/aros-rom.bin and whdboot/game-data/whdload_db.json changed upstream and are collected at that revision. The WHDLoad database is matched on the archive SHA1 first and refreshed from the bundled copy when newer. kick02019.AROS and its .ext are names the Recalbox launcher writes, so the profile now documents the kickstart_rom_file settings instead.
55 device sets the collection lacked or held incomplete. 24 are rebuilt from ROMs already in bios/, 31 come from the archive.org item mame-roms-non-merged. Every member matches the 0.289 listxml size, crc32 and sha1, and each archive is built with build_torrentzip. The complete nss_tvinterface goes to .variants since RetroDECK pins the incomplete copy. The old at_keybc.zip held two of the three ROMs, its md5 is pinned by no platform, and is replaced by the complete set RetroDECK pins (63536a7d). Database and install manifests are regenerated with the files, including the vMac.ROM move.
opera-boot.bin, blueMSX's own RS232.ROM, the GameCube IPLs filed under their system, and Triforce's codehandler.bin from the Dolphin Sys tree the pack carries.
Manifests list each data directory's source archive and the hash of
every file; the installer rebuilds the tree from the archive and keeps
only the files whose hash matches.
The RetroArch list is folded for Windows and macOS. Its manifest
now carries the names a case-keeping directory also needs, and the
installer adds them after probing the BIOS directory.
The new-format hiscore.dat was served by name to cores whose parser reads
only legacy lines. Eight cores now pin the hiscore.dat their own
repository ships, four revisions newly collected.
System.dat pins the 2 KiB X1 font as xmil/IPLROM.X1T, where xmil reads
a 32 KiB Turbo IPL. A held copy of the exact size a profile declares now
proves its claim against a file of another size, so the existence packs
ship the IPL. The font's duplicate under the IPL name is removed.
Lakka and RetroPie keep the files that differ by case from a platform
name, core extras go to the claim that pins its content, and LRPS2
reads its own GameIndex.
Core lists now come from each platform's own sources: ROCKNIX gains
its standalone emulators, RetroBat drops the Batocera ports it never
ran, Recalbox reads its two MAME releases.
