The port now merges PCSX2 ab0b401f and embeds patches.zip, packed from the pcsx2_patches submodule (pcsx2/CMakeLists.txt:1183-1205, pcsx2/Patch.cpp:292-331). The resources copy is read only with PCEE2_EXTERNAL_RESOURCES set. Same files.

notes: |
|
|
libretro port of current PCSX2, merged up to upstream ab0b401f (v2.9.138,
|
|
pcee2-libretro/upstream.version). The build reports that version as
|
|
library_version. Everything the port adds lives in pcee2-libretro/ and in
|
|
the libretro renderer bridges, while the BIOS, CDVD, patch and database code is
|
|
upstream PCSX2.
|
|
|
|
InitializeConfig maps the PCSX2 folder layout under <system>/pcsx2:
|
|
AppRoot and DataRoot are that directory, Resources and UserResources are
|
|
pcsx2/resources, Settings is pcsx2/inis, and EmuFolders::LoadConfig
|
|
derives bios, memcards, cheats, patches, textures, gamesettings, cache,
|
|
snaps, sstates, logs, covers, inputprofiles and videos from DataRoot
|
|
(pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:543-557, pcsx2/Pcsx2Config.cpp:2348-2365).
|
|
A standalone PCSX2.ini dropped in pcsx2/inis contributes nine emulation
|
|
sections as the baseline (pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:633-664), and the core options and the
|
|
port overrides apply on top.
|
|
|
|
BIOS detection is filename-agnostic. The core option pcsx2_bios lists every
|
|
file of pcsx2/bios that IsBIOS accepts: a romdir whose RESET entry is
|
|
followed by a readable ROMVER, whose fifth character gives the zone (Japan,
|
|
USA, Europe, Asia, China, T10K, COH-H, Test, Free). With the option on
|
|
auto, SettingsOverride selects the first accepted file (pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:707-747,
|
|
pcsx2/ps2/BiosTools.cpp:80-197, 284-294). When no BIOS is configured or the
|
|
configured name is missing, LoadBIOS falls back to FindBiosImage, which
|
|
also filters on size between 4 and 8 MB (pcsx2/ps2/BiosTools.cpp:258-282, 317-369).
|
|
The image is read into the 4 MB ROM region, and a file shorter than 2465792
|
|
bytes turns off the OSDSys parameter HLE. No hash is matched. Booting with
|
|
no content starts the BIOS (pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:2286-2296).
|
|
|
|
Companions derive from the selected image: rom1 and rom2 are tried as the
|
|
full name plus extension, then with the extension replaced, and are skipped
|
|
when absent. The nvm is read at the replaced extension and rebuilt with
|
|
region and language defaults when missing or blank, and the mec is written back
|
|
as 0x00020603 when it cannot be read (pcsx2/ps2/BiosTools.cpp:214-241, 366-367,
|
|
pcsx2/CDVD/CDVD.cpp:136-205).
|
|
|
|
The shaders, four interface fonts, GameIndex.yaml and patches.zip are built
|
|
into the core (cmake/EmbedResources.cmake:19-31, 46-62,
|
|
pcsx2/CMakeLists.txt:1170-1219)
|
|
and win over the copies on disk unless PCEE2_EXTERNAL_RESOURCES is set in
|
|
the environment (pcsx2/EmbeddedResources.cpp:8-12, pcsx2/GS/Renderers/Common/GSDevice.cpp:441-465,
|
|
pcsx2/ImGui/ImGuiManager.cpp:473-495, pcsx2/GameDatabase.cpp:1037-1066, pcsx2/Patch.cpp:292-331,
|
|
pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:580-602). A missing resources directory is a warning, not a
|
|
failure (pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:562-571). patches.zip is packed at build time from the
|
|
3rdparty/pcsx2_patches submodule, so the build carries the patches of the
|
|
commit it points at, and the directory supplies nothing this build reads
|
|
by default. RedumpDatabase.yaml is read only by the Qt game
|
|
summary (pcsx2/GameDatabase.cpp:1213-1226 has no caller in the core),
|
|
game_controller_db.txt only by the SDL input source the port disables
|
|
(pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:690-691, pcsx2/Input/SDLInputSource.cpp:701-706), the
|
|
achievement sounds only with achievements enabled, which no core option or
|
|
adopted ini section does (pcsx2/Achievements.cpp:944-952), and
|
|
fullscreenui/no-save.png only by the save state selector, whose hotkeys the
|
|
port clears (pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:693, pcsx2/ImGui/ImGuiOverlays.cpp:1441-1442).
|
|
The port supplies Roboto alone to ImGui, so no emoji font is read.
|
|
|
|
Per-game user files keep their PCSX2 locations under <system>/pcsx2:
|
|
cheats and patches as <serial>_<crc>.pnach (pcsx2/Patch.cpp:333-368),
|
|
gamesettings/<serial>_<crc>.ini (pcsx2/VMManager.cpp:842-845),
|
|
textures/<serial>/replacements (pcsx2/GS/Renderers/HW/GSTextureReplacements.cpp:269-271),
|
|
memcards/*.ps2, which the core creates and lists in the memory card
|
|
options (pcee2-libretro/Libretro.cpp:749-769). The DEV9 HDD image is named in the ini and
|
|
created on demand.

Searched for <serial>_<crc>.pnach, then <crc>.pnach, when a game's
