Abdessamad Derraz bb19a6d5cf feat: profile what RetroBat and RetroPie run
100 emulator names the two platforms run had no profile, so their packs carried nothing for them. Each was read from the platform's own launcher or scriptmodule: the same program as an existing profile takes the name in cores:, a different build gets its own profile read from that version, a launcher or self-contained game goes to remove_cores, and the rest are new profiles written from their source or shipped binary. The files they need that the collection lacked are collected from the upstream distributions. Bungie and splitwolf trees are read by path and stay out of dedup.

notes: |
The Raspberry Pi Foundation's ioquake3 1.35 snapshot with an OpenGL ES
renderer for the VideoCore GPU (VERSION=1.35, Makefile:194). RetroPie
builds it with build_rpi_raspbian.sh and installs ioquake3.arm and
ioq3ded.arm, then links $md_inst/baseq3 to $romdir/ports/quake3.
BASEGAME = "baseq3" (code/qcommon/q_shared.h:37). fs_basepath defaults to
the directory of the binary (code/sys/sys_main.c:474-479, 574), and
FS_Startup mounts baseq3 under fs_basepath and fs_homepath (~/.q3a),
then fs_game when set (code/qcommon/files.c:2762-2773, 2785-2787).
FS_CheckPak0 compares the pak checksum of baseq3/pak0.pk3 through
pak8.pk3 to pak_checksums[] (code/qcommon/files.c:178-188, 2886-2910).
This snapshot predates the Team Arena checksums: missionpack is only
an ordinary mod directory here. A mismatch prints a warning and the pak
stays mounted. A missing pak prints a message too, but the fatal error
that follows is commented out (code/qcommon/files.c:2918-2943), so the
point release paks are optional. What stops the engine is a missing
default.cfg (code/qcommon/files.c:3328-3329), which only pak0.pk3
carries.
demoq3/pak0.pk3 with DEMO_PAK0_CHECKSUM is recognised and printed as a
demo pak (code/qcommon/files.c:177, 2870-2884). RetroPie instead
extracts its Q3DemoPaks.zip, the demo pak0.pk3 with the 1.32 point
release paks, flat into baseq3/. The demo pak then fails the pak0
checksum with a warning and runs.
