336 entries for files that arrive with the emulator named no hash, so the collected copy was the only record of which file the release ships. Each now carries the sha1 and size of the copy collected from that emulator's own release, so the profile keeps the file's identity once the copy leaves the collection. Entries whose name is a pattern keep no hash.

Android and Linux member of the EX Emulator series by Robert Broglia,
|
|
published as com.explusalpha.GbaEmu (GBA.emu/metadata/conf.mk:2,6,7) and
|
|
reached by ES-DE through its GBA-EMU find rule. VBA-M components are vendored
|
|
under GBA.emu/src/core (GBA.emu/metadata/conf.mk:8,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/main/AppMeta.cc:26) and driven by the app's own GBASys, video,
|
|
sound and IO layers. The build defines C_CORE, FINAL_VERSION, NO_PNG, NO_LINK
|
|
and NO_DEBUGGER (GBA.emu/CMakeLists.txt:14). Content is read from .gba and .mb
|
|
files, a .mb name sending the image to work RAM instead of the ROM area
|
|
(GBA.emu/metadata/conf.mk:5, GBA.emu/src/main/AppMeta.cc:31,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/main/Main.cc:182-183, GBA.emu/src/main/VbamApi.cc:211-246).
|
|
|
|
The BIOS is the one file the user supplies and it carries no name of its own.
|
|
The picker takes any .bin or .rom and stores the chosen URI in biosPath
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/main/EmuMenuViews.cc:485-510, GBA.emu/src/main/system.ccm:88,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/main/options.cc:50,79). loadContent reads the file whole and
|
|
throws unless it is exactly 16384 bytes (GBA.emu/src/main/Main.cc:190-197),
|
|
the length CPUInit tests again before copying it and setting useBios
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gba.cpp:3758-3778). Nothing else about the file is
|
|
examined: CPUIsGBABios, the extension test upstream passes to utilLoad, has no
|
|
caller here (GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gba.cpp:1655-1675, upstream
|
|
src/core/gba/gba.cpp:4975-4986).
|
|
|
|
Without a file the app runs on the built-in myROM stub copied into the BIOS
|
|
area (GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gba.cpp:131-305,3776-3778) and on the service call
|
|
implementations of gbaBios.cpp. useBios decides only whether an SWI enters
|
|
BIOS code or the HLE routine, and which register reset a boot performs
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gba.cpp:2525-2545,4104-4112). Two settings gate the
|
|
read: the per-content Use BIOS tristate defaults to Auto, which follows the
|
|
global Default Use BIOS switch, itself off until the user turns it on
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/main/system.ccm:107-108,165-174,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/main/EmuMenuViews.cc:387-395).
|
|
|
|
The 473 entry override table is byte-identical to VBA-M's
|
|
src/libretro/gba-over.inc, and its bios column is dropped on arrival:
|
|
setGameSpecificSettings takes save type, save size, RTC and mirroring and
|
|
nothing more (GBA.emu/src/main/gba-over.inc:1,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/main/Main.cc:283-319), so BIOS use never follows from the game.
|
|
|
|
Per content the app writes and reads files named after the ROM: .sav backup
|
|
memory created full of 0xFF (GBA.emu/src/main/Main.cc:98-108), .gqs states
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/main/system.ccm:128), and a .clt cheat list it saves itself under
|
|
the cheats path (GBA.emu/src/main/Cheats.cc:210-235,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gbaCheats.cpp:2738,2755). Under the patches path it
|
|
applies the first of .ips, .ups or .ppf that opens
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/main/Main.cc:147-178). ui.png, gpOverlay.png and the shader
|
|
sources are drawn by the framework from the application bundle
|
|
(EmuFramework/include/emuframework/AssetManager.hh:61-66,
|
|
EmuFramework/src/AssetManager.cc:58-73,
|
|
EmuFramework/src/VideoImageEffect.cc:164-172).
|
|
|
|
VBA-M's own file entry points reach nothing in this build. CPULoadRom, the
|
|
battery, state, GSA snapshot and eeprom import functions and the EmulatedSystem
|
|
table sit inside #if 0 blocks (GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gba.cpp:1301-1614,
|
|
1885-2134,4803-4869), CPUExportEepromFile and cheatsImportGSACodeFile keep no
|
|
caller (GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gba.cpp:1276,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/core/gba/gbaCheats.cpp:2081), and utilOpenFile, the call all of
|
|
them open files with, is implemented by no source in the build
|
|
(GBA.emu/src/CMakeLists.txt:6-36, GBA.emu/src/main/VbamApi.cc:279-321). The
|
|
e-Reader reads no dotcode either, the tree carrying its header alone and the
|
|
three entry points being stubbed (GBA.emu/src/core/gba/internal/gbaEreader.h,
|
|
GBA.emu/src/main/VbamApi.cc:109-113).

The only test is the length, and a file of another length aborts the load

rather than falling back.
