Abdessamad Derraz 9b630a39bb fix: hold the new profiles to the shared checks
BizHawk's NDS firmware slot accepts six dumps, two of which the collection holds, and the profile named one. Kega Fusion's US Mega CD BIOS covers the Americas. Sonic 3 A.I.R. data is installed by Batocera in unpacked form. izApple2 downloads its ProDOS images when a card is added, which is no install. The Lakka list now equals a case-keeping RetroArch install less what Lakka's packages install, and the profile hash contradiction count leaves out entries no pack ships. The pipeline table names step 8b.

Sega 8 and 16-bit emulator by Steve Snake, distributed as a closed Windows
binary. The build read is Fusion.exe 3.64 (NOMAPLE), dated 6 March 2010,
sha1 4842ddbfbdfeb909b134f28ce25f02ab59b38453, the copy RetroBat installs as
kega-fusion (version 0.10.03.06). The executable is not packed, offsets
below are virtual addresses in it.
Every system ROM is a path stored in Fusion.ini, kept in a settings table
of key name, buffer and type (0x5b16a8-0x5b1d10): SMSUSABIOS, SMSJAPBIOS,
SMSEURBIOS, GGBIOS, SF7000IPL, GenesisBIOS, SCDUSABIOS, SCDJAPBIOS,
SCDEURBIOS, 32XM68KBIOS, 32XMSH2BIOS and 32XSSH2BIOS. Before the ini is
read the 8-bit, SF-7000 and Genesis paths are cleared (0x44b3ed-0x44b40b)
and the Mega CD and 32X ones get defaults: C:\SegaCDBIOS\us_scd1_9210.bin,
jp_mcd1_9111.bin and eu_mcd1_9210.bin, and c:\32XBios\32X_G_BIOS.bin,
32X_M_BIOS.bin and 32X_S_BIOS.bin (0x44b662-0x44b74d). Those are the only
file names the binary fixes. Each file is opened with fopen "rb" and read
with a fixed count, no length, checksum or header is compared.
RetroBat's generator writes SCDEURBIOS, SCDUSABIOS and SCDJAPBIOS as
bios_CD_E.bin, bios_CD_U.bin and bios_CD_J.bin, and the three 32X keys as
32X_G_BIOS.BIN, 32X_M_BIOS.BIN and 32X_S_BIOS.BIN in its bios folder, each
only when the file exists. GenesisBIOS receives the bios folder itself, so
the fopen fails and no TMSS ROM is loaded. The 8-bit keys are not written.
ref: emulatorlauncher Generators/KegaFusion.Generator.cs:99-128
CDTray.raw, Cursor_8.raw, STATIC_8.RAW and gg_nor.all are looked up by name
in an archive embedded in the executable (0x47a530), not on disk. Plugins
(*.rpi) and the KGV1 video codec ship with the program. Fusion.ini, battery
saves (.srm, .brm, .crm) and states are written by the program.
