Each platform's own packages were read at the revision our data pins, for every emulator and core it ships: Batocera, Recalbox, RetroPie, ROCKNIX, Lakka, RetroDECK, RetroBat and EmuDeck. Files a package installs where the emulator reads them are recorded with installed_on, and files a release bundles but a package leaves out with not_bundled_on, so each platform's pack brings what its users lack and nothing they already have. The standalone profiles never checked before were held against their releases the same way. Batocera's imame4all is the mame2000 core. The primary neogeo.zip was a 7.7 KB placeholder no platform pins and no pack served: removed, the real dumps stay in .variants.

notes: |
|
|
BlastEm is a cycle-accurate Sega Mega Drive/Genesis emulator with basic
|
|
Master System support. In standalone mode it supports TMSS ROM loading and
|
|
multiple hardware models (MD1 VA0 through MD3 VA2, Teradrive). The Jaguar
|
|
emulator (blastjag) is a separate standalone binary, not part of the
|
|
libretro core.
|
|
|
|
The libretro port (libblastem.c) does NOT expose any core options and
|
|
defaults to model md1va3 which has TMSS disabled. There is no way to
|
|
select a TMSS-enabled model through the libretro interface.
|
|
|
|
Even if a TMSS-enabled model were forced, read_bundled_file() in the
|
|
libretro build only serves rom.db and returns NULL for tmss.md, so TMSS
|
|
ROM loading would fail (fatal_error at genesis.c:3043).
|
|
|
|
Sega CD / Mega CD is not supported (only a TODO comment in system.c:16).
|
|
No BIOS files are required or loaded by the libretro core.
