The emulator side is upstream merged forward: the dojo branch takes trzy/Supermodel at 98fcbff of 2026-10-20 through merge ab1ecae, and the commits after it are netplay, replay and release changes. The two repositories are not linked on GitHub, so the pin is read from the merge itself, whose second parent 98fcbff resolves in both trees. ref: README.md:3-20, Src/OSD/SDL/Main.cpp:2565-2597 Windows and macOS return relative names, Config/, Assets/, NVRAM/, Saves/, Replays/, ROMs/, resolved against the working directory, which is where the release archive puts them and where ES-DE starts the process. Linux uses the working directory when no home directory resolves, $HOME/.supermodel-dojo/ when that directory exists, otherwise $HOME/.config/supermodel-dojo/Config and $HOME/.local/share/supermodel-dojo/ under the XDG variables, and falls back to the Config/Games.xml and Assets/ sitting next to the binary when the home copy is absent. ROMs/ is the default ROMDirectory, where the GUI looks for .zip. ref: Src/OSD/Windows/FileSystemPath.cpp:28-60, Src/OSD/OSX/FileSystemPath.cpp:28-58, Src/OSD/Unix/FileSystemPath.cpp:63-77, 130-141, 144-198, Src/Dojo/Replay.cpp:28-31, Src/OSD/SDL/Main.cpp:1796, es-de resources/systems/windows/es_systems.xml:171 ROM sets are MAME format per game archives identified by the CRC32 values in Games.xml, 64 sets at this revision. A parent set holds the ROMs a regional variant reuses, a relation between versions of one game rather than a shared BIOS: a split child archive makes the loader open .zip from the same directory. Each Model 3 board carries its own program, video, sound and drive board ROMs, so no system ROM is read outside those archives. ref: Config/Games.xml, Src/GameLoader.cpp:371-610, Src/GameLoader.cpp:1029-1060 Games.xml also declares the set pro1000, the Real3D Pro-1000 image generator, whose cpu_rom and init_rom regions are the flash images of the Pro-1000 SDK update. The machine refuses to start without either region. A scsi_rom region is optional, a synthetic image is built when it is absent, and that image takes the logo model from Assets/ when both 3dlogo files are there. ref: Config/Games.xml:1404-1428, Src/Pro1000/Pro1000.cpp:2128-2160, Src/OSD/SDL/Main.cpp:2737-2740 The emulator writes and reads back its own Supermodel.ini, generated from the built in Dojo defaults whenever it is absent, plus NVRAM/.nv, Saves/.st and Replays/_.supr with a .st0 sidecar when the session starts from a save state. ref: Src/OSD/SDL/Main.cpp:1677-1697, 2568, 724-752, 786-809, Src/OSD/DojoConfigFile.h:31, Src/Dojo/Replay.cpp:23-51 Two reads take a path the user chooses and have no fixed name: the MP3 tracks named inside Music.xml, and external GLSL vertex and fragment shaders for the legacy 3D engine, whose config keys are empty by default so the built in shader source is compiled instead. ref: Src/Sound/MPEG/MpegAudio.cpp:71-86, Src/OSD/SDL/Main.cpp:1800-1801, Src/Graphics/Shader.cpp:100-106 The v0.3a--git- releases are built from the dojo branch and named Supermodel Dojo. The archive of 2026-10-22 ships the supermodel binary, Assets/, Config/Games.xml, Config/Music.xml and empty NVRAM/, ROMs/ and Saves/ folders, plus wnaspi32.dll on Windows, the ASPI bridge that lets Pro-1000 host programs reach the emulated machine. A build stamps its version from the commit date and short sha, and the tree falls back to 0.3a-WIP. The older dojo-preview tags, Preview 6 of 2025-04-27 the last, shipped a separate launcher. ref: .github/workflows/release.yml:4-5, .github/workflows/release.yml:21, .github/workflows/release.yml:48-49, Makefiles/Rules.inc:325-327, Src/Version.h:32 ES-DE reaches it through the SUPERMODEL-DOJO find rule, present in the Windows set alone among the seven, for the arcade, mame and model3 systems. ref: es-de resources/systems/windows/es_find_rules.xml:1107-1116, es-de resources/systems/windows/es_systems.xml:171, 1068, 1220 files: - name: Games.xml size: 152634 sha1: bb937d4841ae039d9d5f16b33bf5ba0382e41081 path: "Config/Games.xml" required: true bundled: true description: "ROM set definitions" note: "Parsed at startup into the game database.
